Details on the Murray Centre for the Performing Arts

The planned Murray Centre for the Performing Arts features a 500 seat theater, flexible black box theater, two rehearsal spaces, a gallery, and a community room that can be divided into three smaller spaces. This design would allow multiple uses at the same time from a wide variety of activities such as rehearsals, concerts, adult and children theater, art clinics, and community organization meetings. It would even allow for group needing break out rooms such as monthly scout trainings. The design also includes much needed storage space.
