The Studio Theatre (seating 60) is on the second floor of the Lee Norvelle Theatre and Drama Center, just around the corner from the administrative offices, with easy second-floor access to the entire complex. Opened in 2011 with limited flexible seating, the Studio Theatre provides space for independent student productions and experimental projects initiated by faculty and staff. With a tension grid and easy access to all levels by stairs, the Studio Theatre also provides a very strong teaching space.
