Theaters, Studios, & Labs
The following is a list of TFMS theaters, studios, and media production labs located in the Montgomery Hall Fine Arts Center (MH).
Bruce Davis Theater: The newly renovated (2010) Bruce Davis Theater is a multi-functional space. The location of many TFMS acting and literature classes and of all main stage productions, the Theater can seat up to 199, depending on its configuration (proscenium, thrust, arena, or alley).
The White Room: The White Room is a student-run and organized performance space seating approximately 25-50. Used also as a laboratory for the technical/design classes and occasionally as a rehearsal space for main stage productions, The White Room functions principally as a laboratory for student-produced work.
Dance/Movement Studio: The Dance Studio accommodates all TFMS dance and movement classes, and occasionally other department offerings, as scheduling demands. Principally a classroom/laboratory space for the department's dance and movement curriculum, the Studio may also be used as an experimental performance space. The Studio is equipped with permanent barres, a mirrored wall, dressing rooms, and a floor of maple. Street shoes must be removed before entering this space.
Media Production
TFMS resources in media production provide students with access to a variety of video production and post-production technology. Production classes and St. Mary's Projects have access to Canon GL-2 Mini-DV cameras, Smith-Victor lighting kits, and Audio-Technica microphones, along with supporting production equipment. Post-production equipment is located in the following two Montgomery Hall labs:
