"Presenting plays that are invigorating in nature, that provide expanding opportunities to underserved audiences and artists and that celebrate the full richness of the theatrical tradition," is the new statement of intent from Robert Alford, Mary Jarzabeck and the LSUS Theater dept. "Participation in our productions is open to all interested community members."
Continues Alford, "Our nine play 2008-2009 season, facilitated by our new Black Box Theatre, is our most ambitious ever." The Black Box Theater, which seats 75, is located on the ground floor of Bronson Hall on the south end (to the right when seen from the parking lot).
