Venues
NAU Theatre is home to a collection of vibrant, inspiring spaces designed to spark creativity and support every stage of the artistic process.
Our two theatres, performance lab, and Design Lab are all located in the Performing Arts Building (Building 37).
Clifford E. White Theater
The Clifford E. White Theater is our signature 300 seat proscenium venue facing Knoles Drive — a welcoming home for musicals, Shakespeare, Contemporary, classic, and global works. To explore upcoming productions, visit the Central Ticket Office.
The Studio Theater
The Studio Theater is one of our most adventurous spaces. This flexible venue has been transformed into the round, tennis court, modified thrust, and countless other configurations, giving students hands on experience with a wide range of performance styles and audience relationships. For current shows, contact the Central Ticket Office.
