The Wells-Metz Theatre is a 236-seat flexible venue, home to four season productions each academic year. An intimate space where the audience is as close as five feet from the action, the Wells-Metz has been the location of a great variety of productions—from musicals and large Shakespearean dramas to small cast shows. With a full stage trap room and overhead suspension grid, the theatre has become known for its environmental productions with performers playing throughout the space from trap to grid.
