Facilities
Our facilities provide excellent venues for instruction and the development of student and faculty work.
HAZEL B. ABBOTT THEATRE
This intimate 265-seat proscenium theatre has served as the home for theatre productions at Converse for over 100 years! Located in the College’s original main building—Wilson Hall—the theatre also serves as a classroom for courses in acting, introduction to theatre, directing, movement, and many others.
LAIRD STUDIO THEATRE
Located adjacent to the Hazel B. Abbott Theatre, this space is a flexible “black box” theatre that can seat up to 75 in a thrust, arena, or proscenium style arrangement. Like the Hazel B. Abbott Theatre, the Laird Theatre is used for productions, classes and rehearsals. Both theatres have independent, computerized lighting control systems.
ALSO IN WILSON HALL...
are dressing rooms, faculty offices, a design classroom, a resource room, costume construction and storage areas, ticket office and prop storage.
THE DANCE STUDIOS
Located in the Montgomery Student Center, our dance studios feature lots of natural light, sprung dance floors, full-length mirrors, ballet barres, a tap floor and sound systems.
THE SCENE SHOP
Construction space for our productions is in our air-conditioned scene shop building, located separate from the theatres. It is fully equipped to handle scenery and prop construction in wood, metal or plastic.
