Venues

The ASU School of Music, Dance and Theatre is home to some of the best designed venues in the nation.

The music performance spaces include the acoustically perfect Katzin Concert Hall, the intimate Recital Hall and the 480-seat Evelyn Smith Music Theatre, which are designed for chamber music, solo performance and music theatre and opera respectively. The acoustics of a great cathedral are replicated in the Organ Hall, which showcases the famous pipe organ designed by Paul Fritts.

The dance and theatre performance spaces include the Nelson Fine Arts Center, which houses the 480-seat Paul V. Galvin Playhouse, a black box theatre, and a dance laboratory. The Lyceum Theatre, a 162-seat modified proscenium, is also used for MainStage theatre productions. The 250-seat Margaret Gisolo Dance Theatre is the home for many of the formal and informal showings, and the Nelson Fine Arts Plaza includes two outdoor spaces for events and performances.

The most impressive of all the venues is ASU Gammage, the last great hall designed by legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The circular, eight-story building seats 3,000 and is one of the finest acoustical halls in the U.S. It is considered the “jewel in the crown” for performance in the Southwest and is ASU’s best-known landmark.
