Which building was constructed in 1957 in honor of the University’s first head of the music department?

Westhoff Theatre

This former proscenium stage was renovated in 2002 to create an intimate 175 seat performance space. Seating can be configured to allow for thrust or arena staging. Stage size and shape approximate Chicago storefront theatres, serving as a model for our students, many of whom pursue post graduate careers in Chicago. The Westhoff Experimental Theatre hosts four SecondStage and two MainStage shows every year.
