Our Center for the Performing Arts otherwise known as the Theater is a valuable resource, not just to our students, but to the community as well. Since its opening in 1986, the University has generously shared this outstanding resource with the surrounding community, making professional-quality theatrical, musical and dance performances both affordable and accessible. James Earl Jones, Julie Harris and Dizzie Gillespie are just some of the people to perform at the Theater over the years. The Theater is more than a resource for performing artists this past year alone it was used for forums featuring Rubin Hurricane Carter, Sister Helen Prejean and former Presidential candidate Elizabeth Dole. To upgrade the facility, the University recently launched a comprehensive renovation campaign.
Plans call for the installation of new seats and the modernization of the facility.
