CSUN Department of Theatre

This theatre sits adjacent to the Great Hall of the Valley Performing Arts Center on the CSUN campus. Productions here are created by the Department of Theatre and they put on some very high quality shows!
I’ve seen musicals, comedies, and dramas here — there are about four shows per year happening in this space (not including special events like a musical theatre workshop final performance).
The theatre is a black box space and is reconfigurable. At the time of this review it was set up as a small proscenium-​style theatre with audience seating on just one side but I’ve also seen it used as a thrust space — with audience seating on three sides. Once I saw a show there where the seating was modified to be «in the round.»
Since September of 2013 shows in the space have included Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, The Seagull, Servant of Two Masters, Electricidad, Bat Boy: The Musical, Learned Ladies, and two Harold Pinter one-​acts. Seating is provided for roughly 130 guests and this is a new, state-​of-​the-​art space that is exciting to visit. I’d highly recommend a night out at the theatre here — tickets are about $ 20 or less for all Department of Theatre shows. Students, staff, and faculty get discounts!
