The center houses an intimate proscenium theater, a combined dance studio/small studio theater, music rehearsal rooms, fine art studios, and associated support. The performance spaces feature state-of-the-art stage lighting systems, automated rigging, and an adjustable forestage to allow for innovative use of the proscenium stage. The building is centrally located, in keeping with the central place of the arts in the lives of Brooks students.
