Performance Spaces
The University of the Arts boasts several professional performance venues — including the historic 1,800-seat Merriam Theater (above) and the state-of-the-art Caplan Center — providing spaces both grand and intimate for student performances. Performance spaces, when not being used for student productions, shine the spotlight on award-winning dance troupes, traveling theater productions and world-class musicians.

With a skyline view, Avenue of the Arts address and visionary design, the Caplan is a sought-after destination.
