Whittier College, Ruth B. Shannon Center for the Performing Arts

Whittier, California, USA
Greg Phillips

Opened in 1990, the Ruth B. Shannon Center for the Performing Arts at Whittier College boasts two state-of-the-art venues: the 403-seat Robinson Theatre and the more intimate 75-seat Studio Theatre.

The Shannon Center also houses technical support areas and academic facilities for the Whittier College Department of Theatre Arts. The Robinson Theatre has the capability of being configured in a variety of ways including proscenium, extended apron, thrust, cabaret and ballroom configurations. It can also be adjusted acoustically for spoken word/amplified music or concert hall style acoustics by raising or lowering a set of 7 acoustic banners which surround the auditorium space.
