A New Center for Theatre & Dance

This is the moment. Millikin’s Center for Theatre & Dance is the place.

This revolutionary, light-filled facility is scheduled for completion by fall 2020. It includes a flexible 250-seat theatre and well-equipped studios, classrooms, design, sound and lighting labs, an orchestra pit, a costume studio and public spaces, providing a professional venue for our studentartists and an opportunity for community collaboration. Located in the heart of campus, the Center offers a focused location for creativity to be taught, fostered and displayed both by our campus community and outside stakeholders as Decatur’s up-and-coming cultural center. Please join our collective commitment by supporting the new Center for Theatre & Dance, where future student-artists, faculty and community can join together to experience the arts.
