Move over Palace Theatre!
The newest addition to SHU will be on its way soon…the University Center for Performing Arts! The City of Greensburg is working with Seton Hill in all phases of development. Site preparation is to begin in the summer of 06 and construction is anticipated to being in late 2006!
Personally, I am very excited about this!! This new facility will be such a great asset to the Seton Hill Community, but specifically the Theatre department.
Let me explain…
This new center will include a flexible theatre, music hall, rehearsal spaces, set and costume design rooms and classrooms and faculty offices. The center will feature THREE levels that will range from the orchestra pit to the grande lobby THEN to the catwalks and control rooms!!
This expansion will not only benefit SHU, but also the City of Greensburg. There are a number of developments that will be happening in the City…so keep an open eye and watch us grow! It is going to be a great thing to see!
We are anticipating enrollment in the theatre and music programs to double in the five years following the completion of the Center. So, come and join us and be a part of our new 'addition' to the SHU family!

The plans look really wonderful. An added benefit for the rest of us left on main campus is that much of the space currently occupied by the fine arts programs (a basement here, a hallway there) will open up for additional uses.
I lobbied for a videogame arcade, or at least a big colorful ball pit. No luck.
