The theater includes a counterweight system, control booth, and state-of-the-art lighting and sound equipment. Fully-equipped scene and costume shops, dressing rooms, and rehearsal studio are located nearby.
Flexible Theatre
The Flexible Theatre in the Savage Theater and Communication Building doubles as a studio space for acting classes and a "black box" theater. This space is used for informal department events, as well mainstage productions requiring the flexibility and intimacy of a smaller space.

The original "black box" theater was in Bishop Hall.
