The first of Robinson Hall’s three stories houses the 336-seat Anne R. Belk Theater, which features a 3,500-square-foot proscenium stage equipped with a 60-foot-fly-loft for storing and changing scenery and an orchestra pit for opera and musical theatre performances. The theater is primarily used for performances by our performing arts units, including Department of Dance concerts, Department of Music ensemble concerts, and select Department of Theatre productions.
Additionally, the Black Box Theater in Robinson Hall for the Performing Arts can be adapted to accommodate up to 125 patrons for a variety of unique and intimate theatre experience. This theater is primarily used for Department of Theatre productions.
In addition to these state-of-the-art performance spaces, the department also has a newly renovated White Box–a classroom and lab theater space in the Rowe Arts Building–dedicated to the development of student works and projects. While serving as a classroom and rehearsal space, the White Box is home to the Robinson Hall Players, a student activities organization, as well as 24/7: The Student 24-hour Play Festival, The Student One-Act Play Festival, and other various student organizations and events in the Shoestring Series.
Robinson Hall also features a 120-seat multimedia lecture classroom, a fully equipped design lab, specialized studios, and shops for dance, design, computing, costuming, and scenic production, in addition to other state-of-the-art classroom and instructional spaces.
