The Austin Arts Center is home to the Music, Studio Arts, and Theater and Dance Departments. Students throughout Trinity College engage in a wide range of arts opportunities, both through academic courses and extracurricular activities. Students do not need to major in the arts to perform in a play, a musical, a musical ensemble, or a dance performance, or gain skills in backstage theatrical work, or take a studio arts class. The Austin Arts Center houses a large proscenium theater, black box theater, and recital hall, as well as a recording studio, electronic music lab, art gallery, art studios, classrooms, and music practice rooms. Theater and dance studio classrooms and an additional performance space are located in Trinity Commons.
