Fine and Performing Arts Venues
Henderson Fine Arts Center
The San Juan College Artists Series hosts captivating live performances of theatre, dance, and concert entertainment. The Henderson Fine Arts Center is the heart of San Juan College’s Fine and Performing Arts Department which includes a 750-seat proscenium fly-system theatre, Music Department classrooms and rehearsal rooms, a recording studio, and public meeting rooms. It’s also home to 2D and 3D studios and the Henderson Fine Arts Center Art Gallery.
Connie Gotsch Theatre
Formerly the Little Theatre, the newly renovated Connie Gotsch Theatre is located in the Central Classroom Complex. The beautiful 7,770 square-foot theatre includes 314 auditorium seats, ticket booth, lobby, dressing rooms, and a special Connie Gotsch display case. The theatre was renamed and remodeled in 2021 thanks to the Connie Gotsch Arts Foundation and the generosity of private donors and is an intimate space perfect for chamber music, speakers, movies, and meetings. Keeping a theatre tradition alive at San Juan College, TEA (Theatre Ensemble Arts) community theatre performs twice a year in the Connie Gotsch theatre.
The Connie Gotsch Theatre hosts San Juan College and community events. Because of the foundation's ongoing support through an endowment, nonprofit organizations may receive a once yearly subsidy that significantly lowers the cost of using the theatre.
Black Box Theatre
Adjacent to the Connie Gotsch Theatre is the Black Box Studio. This small, versatile performance space serves as a blank canvas for creative expression. Mostly used for small classes and experimental productions, the Black Box is a simple room with black walls, a Marley dance floor, lights, and sound. This undefined space can be transformed to suit various theatrical productions and accommodates about 100 people. It doubles as a Green Screen studio and contains a Podcast studio.
