The Center serves as a state of the art learning facility for students and
a quality arts venue for the entire community. The theatre houses a Main
Stage Theatre, Art Gallery, Studio Theatre and a Community Conference Center.
Housed in glass, a two story lobby leads patrons to the lakeside art gallery,
a main proscenium theatre with 530 seats, and the studio theatre designed
for productions with smaller audiences. The Community Conference Center
is available for business meetings, conferences, fund raisers and social
gatherings. The floor to ceiling windows provide a picturesque view of the
lake.
The
Center's programming includes a variety of offerings such as opera, dance,
multidisciplinary productions that integrate visual art, music, theatre
and the humanities. Featuring both students and professional artists, the
many programs provide opportunities for students and patrons alike to study
in workshops led by nationally recognized performance and visual artists.

studios, as well as painting, drawing and drafting
classrooms. Multimedia labs in both Mac and
IBM are included. A new orchestra
