The new theater eventually will be home for a UTSA theater program, now under development, Vander Weg said. Students will learn in a professional setting, he added. About 140 lighting circuits are controlled by a computerized lighting board. The theater's integrated sound system includes 90 microphone circuits, high-definition speakers, and a control board capable of recording with 48 input channels. Two group dressing rooms, two single dressing rooms and a green room provide a comfortable setting for actors and musicians to prepare for performances.
Intercoms link the dressing and backstage areas.
The lower level has room for costume and set storage, as well as a costume shop. The lecture is free and open to the public.
