Frederick Loewe Theatre
The Frederick Loewe Theatre is a 50' x 54' black box performance space where most of the Theatre Department's productions are rehearsed, built, and staged. Located on the first floor of the landmark building named for Thomas Hunter, it was beautifully renovated in 1998 and is extremely flexible and intimate.
Marvin Seiger Theatre Library
The Marvin Seiger Theatre Library is located in the basement of the Baker Theatre Building.
Our collection contains playscripts, critical essays, anthologies, and more. Thanks to a generous donation, in 2014 we added 1500 volumes from the library of theatre and film critic Stanley Kauffmann.
The library also converts into a performance space for student-generated-work. Past student productions have included: staged readings, playwriting festivals, cabarets, and workshops.
