Anderson Center for the Arts

The Anderson Center for the Arts is located on the campus of Binghamton University, State University of New York. The facility includes three theaters Osterhout Concert Theater, Chamber Hall, and Watters Theater and is available for on-campus and off-campus usage as a presenting house for disparate purposes - the primary one being theatrical/musical performance. The facility was designed by the architectural firm of Hutchins, Evans and Lefferts of New York City and opened in 1985. The complex is designed to meet the needs of every performing group - soloists, chamber ensembles, symphonies, dance, or large theatrical productions complemented by a full-scale orchestra. The University's Fine Arts complex, which house the Anderson Center for the Arts, provides additional spaces for the academic departments in the form of two studio theaters and the Jean Casadesus Recital Hall used by the Theater and Music Departments, respectively. This combination of small studios and large theaters creates a versatile setting that is both intimate and spectacular, integrating music, dance, drama, and the visual arts, while serving the academic needs of the University as well as the region.
