This intimate yet adaptable space is well-suited for a wide spectrum of productions, ranging from mainstage plays and musicals to more experimental art forms, fostering creativity and innovation. Enhanced by dynamic overhead lighting, the von der Heyden Studio Theater offers an immersive experience for performers and audiences alike.
