Center For The Arts
With the new Fieldhouse/Arena project completed, the school broke ground on a new theater complex in 2007. Known as the Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center, the building serves more than just the theater production program. Aside from a full stage and auditorium style seating for 381, it includes three art galleries and a student gallery space, a seminar room, a scene shop, and full backstage facilities. The performing arts center opened for its first performance in January 2009 and was officially dedicated in May 2009.

Famous quotes containing the words center and/or arts:
“Everything that explains the world has in fact explained a world that does not exist, a world in which men are at the center of the human enterprise and women are at the margin “helping” them. Such a world does not exist—never has.”
—Gerda Lerner (b. 1920)
“Self-expression is not enough; experiment is not enough; the recording of special moments or cases is not enough. All of the arts have broken faith or lost connection with their origin and function. They have ceased to be concerned with the legitimate and permanent material of art.”
—Jane Heap (c. 1880–1964)
