Information
The Fine Arts Theatre, located in the Ferguson Fine Arts Center, is the main stage for our theatrical, instrumental, and vocal performances.
Each year, our curtain rises for a fall and spring play, Summerset Theatre performances, and a Children’s Theatre performance. Our ensembles and community vocal groups, including The Royal Scots, The Chorale, and The Chamber Singers perform on this stage. Our instrumental groups, including the Big Band, The Concert Band, and The Orchestra also perform in the Ferguson Fine Arts Theatre.
The Ferguson Fine Arts Theatre has seating for approximately 400, including locations that are accessible to wheelchairs. An orchestra pit borders the theatre’s stage. Theatrical events have reserved seating placement. A seating chart can help you locate your place. Instrumental and vocal events do not have reserved seating placement; seats are available on a first-come basis.
Every seat is a good seat in the Ferguson Fine Arts Theatre. The Ferguson Fine Arts Theatre upgraded its sound and lighting systems a few years ago. New speakers provide the truest sound. The lighting is more brilliant and expressive; improvements and additions provide more on-line instruments and the latest in control systems technology.
Our guests can enjoy cookies, punch, and coffee during intermissions at most of our events. These are available for a free will offering.
In addition to the Theatre, the costume shop, the make-up room, and the technical backstage area, the Fine Arts Center is also home to The Highland Gallery, graphics design lab; drawing, painting, and pottery classrooms, as well as a computerized piano lab, instrumental music rooms. The Box Office and fine arts faculty offices are also located in the Fine Arts Center.
A parking lot with nearly 300 spaces is located just outside the Fine Arts Center. Maps and directions to the Fine Arts Center can help visitors find their way.
