Litwin Studio Theatre & the Heskett Center Dance Studios
In 1983, a new recreation building (the Heskett Center) was opened and local businessman
Harry Litwin donated money for a new dance studios and small theatre to be part of
the building. The Litwin Studio Theatre is an applied space for dance and musical
theatre student productions and is also used by university and community groups for
performances.
In 1984, the dance studios were opened in the Heskett Center and ready for student use. The first
student concert was performed in 1985. Now, classes for dance, musical theatre, and theatre students are housed in two Heskett
Center dance studios. In 2021, a third studio was added, in collaboration with the
Heskett Center. This shared space boasts of a sprung floor, mirrors, barres, and a
sound system. This space also hosts Heskett Center classes and health courses. Currently,
five faculty offices, including spaces for the program director of dance, two additional
faculty, adjunct faculty, and students are located in the Heskett Center.
