Facilities
Providing both a strong arts and academic program requires that ESA be equipped appropriately. So in addition to excellent classroom facilities for the academic subjects, ESA has many spaces especially designed for the study of the arts. The Drama Department has four rooms which are used for classes and rehearsal space, as well as an intimate 40 seat Thrust style studio theatre. Visual Arts has a printmaking studio, a photography room and three spacious studios for drawing, painting and sculpture as well as unlimited wall space for exhibitions. Two large, well-lit dance studios with bars and mirrored walls serve the Dance Department. The Music and Musical Theatre Departments share spaces that include a listening lab, an electronic piano lab, small practice rooms and three separate rooms for vocal, string and wind instruction. The film department has a wide variety of equipment and is currently developing green screening rooms.
ESA's main performing venue, The Nancy Main Auditorium which is named after the founding principal, is 571 seat proscenium arch style theatre. The Nancy Main is well equipped and is constantly updated and provides students with performing opportunities and the chance to learn about technical production. ESA has on staff a professional theatre technician who oversees all productions at the school.

“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
