Music-Drama Center

 

 

The Music-Drama Center (1959) houses teaching facilities for the Conservatory of Music and the theatre and drama department and is the site of concerts, recitals, dramatic productions, films, and lectures. It contains teaching studios, a computer lab, numerous practice rooms, music and theatre classrooms, a scene shop, dressing rooms, and three performance spaces: the 250-seat William E. Harper Hall, the 500-seat Stansbury Theatre, and a smaller black-box experimental theatre, the F. Theodore Cloak Theatre. The studios of WLFM, Lawrence's student-run FM radio station (affiliated with Wisconsin Public Radio) are located in the Music-Drama Center.  The 250-seat Harper Hall is the site for most student and faculty recitals, as well as many pre-concert talks and various lecture series. Opera and music theatre productions are staged in Stansbury Theatre, a 500-seat proscenium theatre.
