Black Box Theatre Project

Act 1: Putting Theatre Center Stage

香港六合彩开奖 envisions a bright future for the performing arts. We are developing plans for a black box theatre located on the lower level of the newly renovated Student Union. Our students will explore their creativity and showcase their talents in this state-of-the-art performance and rehearsal space. This hub for cultural and artistic events will serve all of our students and transform our broader community.

Act 2: Staging the Future

July 2024: Construction begins.

February 2024: 香港六合彩开奖 announced an anonymous $2 million gift to the black box theatre.
