'62 Center for Theatre and Dance

The '62 Center for Theatre and Dance is equipped with facilities to accommodate all aspects of dramatic art. It houses three theatres: the new Mainstage, a 550-seat proscenium theatre with two balconies, fly system, and full orchestra pit; the renovated Adams Memorial Theatre, with a permanent expanded apron stage for smaller productions; and the innovative Center Stage, a highly flexible and technologically advanced space for more experimental work. The Center also contains workshop, studio, and classroom space, along with full scene and costume shops, and a digital media lab. Both the Theatre Department and the Dance Program reside in the '62 Center.

Williamstheatre, the production arm of the Department of Theatre, provides undergraduates with opportunities for acting, directing, playwriting, design, and technical work. The annual program normally consists of four major plays directed and designed by students and faculty of the Department. Seasons are chosen so as to give great breadth to the undergraduate theatrical experience, and productions range from Greek classics, to Shakespeare, to contemporary and original work. Members of the College community are encouraged to take part in any aspect of Williamstheatre productions. Performances of touring productions will also take place on the stages of the '62 Center throughout the academic year.
