Biggs Theatre

The Biggs theatre is our 550 seat adjustable width proscenium house that offers excellent viewing from every seat and a fully motorized orchestra pit. Five beautiful chandeliers rise to signal the start of each show. You can enter the main theatre through vomitoria, stadium-type entrances on each side with the university seal decorating the first set of the hardwood, laser etched doors. Once theatergoers enter, they can proceed in any direction to fine their seats in the continental seating arrangement. These continental seating have two primary benefits: no center aisle and spacious legroom.

The house has a very steep rake or incline which affords all audience members a very close view of the stage. The theatre has a very intimate feel for that reason. The raising of five beautiful chandeliers rise to signal the start of the show. Our main stage is home to our Spring Musical, Holiday show and dance concerts. We also bring in road shows which perform on the space as well as it being utilized by the music department for their productions.
