Sharon Martin Hall
Sharon Martin Hall is a flexible, state-of-the-art 400-seat proscenium theatre built with the ability to accommodate a wide variety of performances. Acoustics can be adjusted to deaden the space for amplified sound—or liven it for acoustic and orchestral performances. A mechanical pit lift provides for a full orchestra pit and enables several different stage configurations.
Burke Recital Hall
More intimate performances are held in Burke Recital Hall, which seats 225 audience members. Built in 1972, and now fully integrated with the Eisner Center, Burke is home to many recitals and student productions.
