This 500-seat, single balcony theatre was designed to serve the University's music and drama departments as well as touring professionals. Working closely with the faculty, staff and the design team Alec (as PM for Charles Cosler Theatre Design) helped to find the balance among the various constituents' needs and wishes. The result is a very intimate, acoustically adjustable auditorium with a full stagehouse to serve virtually any technical need that a 500-seat theatre could face.
