Lack of Space for Theatre Groups

Problems are still plaguing student theater groups after officials prohibited many future performances at the Lisner Downstage.

According to reports, the noise produced by the shows allegedly interferes with performances in the main auditorium. Student run fundraising efforts will begin shortly in an effort to sound proof the Lisner downstage, but the costly project may be an obstacle, according to The Hatchet.

Earlier this week students came together to support the Pelham Hall theater slated for completion by 2010, as well as the remodeling of the Mitchell Theater, but questions over space are certain to continue until then.


The Mount Vernon Pelham Hall project concerns some who worry that its location away from the Foggy Bottom campus may affect attendance and revenue.


Meanwhile GW allegedly invested $5,000 into a sound system at the theater located in Mitchell Hall. The investment is part of a remodeling effort to improve the space and get the rock-opera “Tommy” underway within the upcoming weeks.
