Mary B. Burch Theater

The College’s Burch Theater, designed by theater consultant and Broadway designer Ming Cho Lee, is a 440-seat house facing a combination proscenium/thrust stage that is 50 feet deep and 40 feet wide. The stage is equipped with a memory lighting board, a twelveline counterweight fly system, orchestra shell, sprung dance floor, and a concert-sound system for use with its performing arts programming system. The college presents professional actors, dancers, musicians, and lectures at the theater as part of its mission to educate the student body and the community. The theater provides a training ground for students enrolled in acting and theater design courses. Co-curricular student productions are produced each year by the Burch Theater.
