The Residential College proudly presents The Keene Theater.
The Keene Theater is the beloved performance venue for the Residential College faculty and student organizations. It is a multipurpose venue with seating for up to 150 (88 main floor and 62 balcony seats).
Renovated in 2007, it is fully equipped with an audio-video presentation system as well as stage lighting, microphones, PA, and more. The Keene has a modest backstage area, a green room, and Keene Theater Stagehands, often RC students, to provide tech support.
