    Vanderbilt University - Neely Auditorium

    Vanderbilt's theatre facility is so versatile that there's no way of knowing from one production to the next just where its stage might be. So we frequently say things like, "rehearsal is this evening at seven in the space."

    Almost nothing - seating, orientation, or ground level - in Neely Auditorium's "black-box" performance space must remain static. This flexibility makes it possible to reconstruct virtually all of the dominant theatrical designs of the past 2500 years or so. Actors and audiences can experience Shakespeare's pit, the formal formula of traditional Greek theatre, the intimacy conducive to the theatre of the absurd, and just about anything in between. Audiences never know what they might see next.

    HELPFUL INFORMATION: Neely Auditorium stands near the heart of Vanderbilt University's main campus, facing Alumni Lawn and diagonally across from the rear of Kirland Hall.
