      Handel Performing Arts Center

      Located just five minutes from the main campus, the Mort and Irma Handel Performing Arts Center was converted from an industrial building designed in 1929 by pioneering industrial architect Albert Kahn. The 56,000-square-foot facility provides performance and rehearsal spaces, classrooms, and studios for students in The Hartt School's Dance and Theatre Divisions.

      Housed in the Handel Performing Arts Center are the 300-seat Edward C. and Ann T. Roberts Foundation Theater and the 100-seat Kent McCray Theater, which host black-box theatre productions, senior dance composition performances, recitals, lectures, master classes, and receptions. The Handel Performing Arts Center also has community space including a café that accepts the campus meal plan. A free campus shuttle ensures that students get to class or to a performance on time and back to the main campus afterwards.
