Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts

The Studio Theater is a flexible theatrical space intended to nurture local and national artists. In addition to the Center’s resident companies and their productions, the Center will present national performers. Look for cabaret, dance, comedy – the theater is an extraordinary addition to the Palladium. 

Conceived as a flexible “black box” theater, the multiple configurations are ideal for intimate performances. The theater has four seating/stage configurations: cabaret, proscenium, round and thrust. The flexibility provides resident companies the ability to stage concerts and theatrical productions. Additionally, the theater will be used as support and rehearsal space for both the 1,600-seat Palladium concert hall and The Tarkington 500-seat proscenium theater. 

The Studio Theater is across the Green from the Palladium concert hall and is adjacent to the Monon Greenway.
