Floyd Thomas Morgan Theatre

The Floyd Thomas Morgan Theatre is a 670-seat thrust proscenium.   House in the Chase Fine Arts Center it is the primary public performance space for Utah State Theatre.   Classes are also held regularly for the Theatre Arts Department such as scene painting, light design, stagecraft, and others.

Named in 1981 in honor of Floyd T. Morgan, the theatre was actually a spaced used by Floyd during his 47 years as a professor and Department Head.   Floyd in these years directed over 125 plays, designed nearly 300 sets, and acted in about 80 speaking roles.   Not bad for a guy who was originally hired in the Speech department. Floyd passed into mortality on Aug 4, 2003 and as a last honor a funeral service was held in the Morgan Theatre to honor the passing of a giant.

Today the Morgan Theatre hosts more than just plays and musicals; narrative theatre, graduation, live bands, lectures, and children's singing groups are all common sights within its doors.

Caine Lyric Theatre

The Caine Lyric Theatre is the 12^th oldest theatre still standing in the United States.   Some argue 8^th if you look purely at building age.   Seating 370 in both an orchestra and balcony, it is a wonderful reminder of the beauty and splendor of bygone days.   Used both by the University and the community, many forms of entertainment still appear, including: opera, ballet, drama, stand-up comedy, private showings, premieres, and in the summer is home to the Old Lyric Repertory Company.

Black Box Studio

Though our smallest space, the Black Box is also our main teaching facility, most acting classes are taught in here.   Holding only 80-97, depending on configuration, more experimental works and stronger audience involvement happen here more than anywhere.   Independent productions are also housed in the Black Box by the Theatre Student Association.   This is where cutting edge acting begins.
