Rice Auditorium Mainstage<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The mainstage hosts one theatre show each term, in addition to guest artists from Smith Fine Arts and the WOU Music Department’s Dead Week Concerts. The Auditorium seats 600, and the theatre makes the most of the space transforming it from traditional proscenium style seating to intimate “in the round” and thrust styles.<\/p>\n

Auditions for all of the department\u2019s productions are open to all WOU students.
