Below is a picture of the current progress on the construction. These images are updated three times a day.
For 30 years, Bellarmine’s Theatre Arts program has been housed in Benson Theatre, a building that, for a number of years in the school’s history, was the library and study hall. However, as of January 2010, the program is scheduled to move into the Humanities Center currently under construction. The new facility, located between Liccardo Center and the football field, will provide 50,000 square feet of state-of-the-art classroom, fine arts and performing arts space.
Throughout 11 classrooms, instruction will take place for 1,200 students each day in ceramics, English, photography, painting, drawing, graphic design and digital video editing. The new building will also be home to the school’s I-T network center, and a comprehensive music area for the symphonic and jazz bands, chorus, and percussion ensemble. The complex will feature a thrust-stage, 440-seat theatre (with orchestra pit, full off-stage space and fly space), a full shop for set-building, and will include a second “Black Box” theatre that will seat between 90-130 for smaller and more experimental productions, student directed/written one-acts, various music concerts, dance classes, and our resident improvisational acting troupe: Sanguine Humours.
