Arts and Entertainment

Upstate Theatre

Today, Upstate Theatre, an organization with 30-plus years “on-the-boards” experience, resides in the Department of Fine Arts and Communication Studies with three full time faculty members, a technical director, a box office manager and several adjunct instructors. Future developments are underway for the theatre program, so, not only have we come a long way, but we are also still growing!

Our performance facilities include the 450-seat Proscenium Theatre, and the Studio Theatre for more intimate productions.
