DeWitt Theatre Arts Center
Opened in 2004, the DeWitt Theatre Arts Center includes two performance areas of equal excellence: the Theora England Willcox Theatre, a proscenium-style theatre that seats 196; and the R. Keith Allen Theatre, a black box theatre that seats up to 250. Both theatres are equipped with high-tech acoustical, lighting and mechanical systems.
The DeWitt Theatre Arts Center also includes a scene shop, costume shop, makeup and dressing rooms, a green room, faculty and staff offices, classrooms, a design studio, a box office, and spacious lobby that is also used for literary readings, live music and studying. The executive director of the Iowa High School Speech Association has said it’s the best theatre facility of any college in Iowa. In 2005 the building won three awards: It was named a "Project of Distinction" in the June issue of College Planning & Management, it earned a silver citation in the August American School & University, and it received the Masonry Institute of Iowa's Award of Merit in September.
