Tippen & Josephine Field Davidson Theater:
The intimate, yet grand 850-seat traditional proscenium theater with orchestra pit is state-of-the-art. Ideal for live theater, dance, concerts and recitals, the theater also offers a dramatic setting for business meetings, lectures and more. Great sight lines from every seat allow audience members to feel connected to the action on stage.

Elaine & Thurman Gillespy, Jr. Theater:
News-Journal Center´s 250-seat studio theater is a thrust-proscenium hybrid. The proscenium hides 28 counter-weight fly lines and movable baffles to close the opening arch down for smaller productions. The stage literally thrusts into the theater´s seating area allowing the audience to surround it.
