Performance Facilities
Bruce Davis Theater: Located in the Montgomery Hall Fine Arts building, rm. 171, the recently renovated Bruce Davis Theater (2010) is a multi-functional space. The location of many TFMS acting and literature classes and of all main stage productions, the Theater seats up to 200, depending on its configuration (proscenium, thrust, arena, or alley).
The White Room: Located in the Montgomery Hall Fine Arts building, rm. 20C, The White Room is a student-run 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. View more information about The White Room.
Dance/Movement Studio: Located in the Montgomery Hall Fine Arts building, rm. 107, the dance studio accommodates all dance and movement classes of TFMS, 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.
