School of the Arts: Black Box Theatre

The School of the Arts Black Box Theatre is the perfect venue for experimental theatre, one-act shows, dramatic pieces, small musical presentations, and pieces where audience involvement is key to the success of the production. It is also ideal for small casts, Improv and comedy troupes, and spoken word. It is an extremely intimate space where performers can establish rapport with the audience. The SOTA Black Box is perfect for those artists who wish to create an instant “atmosphere” for the audience. The theatre has very limited wing space to accommodate temporary set storage and quick costume changes. However, there is a room located adjacent to the space which may be used as a backstage wing. The theatre has sound and lighting systems. Dressing rooms and restrooms are located within close proximity to the space. The maximum capacity is 85. The Black Box Theatre is handicapped accessible. Please Note: SOTA does charge a nominal technical fee for the Fringe performances we host.
