The Paul & Jane Meyer Rehearsal Hall serves as both a classroom and a rehearsal space for theatrical and musical productions. The room’s dimensions mirror the dimensions of the stage in the nearby performance hall so that students are able to practice for upcoming productions there as easily as on the stage. Vending machines are located near the Paul & Jane Meyer Rehearsal Hall.

Dressing rooms are reserved for the most current production and for any classes that may be taking place in them. There are:

• 2 – Headliner / Conductor rooms, each with a restroom and a shower
• 2 – Chorus sized rooms with 10 stations, each with two sinks

The Scene Shop plays a critical role in the production process of any performance. Starting with set design, students and staff move into the fabrication and construction phase where the design concepts become reality. Equipped with top-of-the line features, the scene shop offers a unique and thorough experience to the students, faculty, or staff working behind the scenes.

The Sue & Frank Mayborn Performing Arts Center features a recording studio which provides the perfect environment in which to learn and fine-tune skills such as music producing, recording (both in studio and live settings), editing, mixing, mastering, dubbing, engineering, and more.
