Theatre & Cinema majors at Radford University work in modern, state-of-the-art facilities, comparable to professional theatres throughout the nation. All teaching and production activities are housed in the Silverman Fine Arts Center, within Porterfield Hall.

The 490-seat Pridemore Playhouse has a 40-foot proscenium opening, computerized lighting control, a hydraulically-controlled orchestra pit and thrust stage, a 68-foot stage house with full counter-weight system, fully equipped scene and costume studios, sound lab, a student computer room equipped with CAD software, and storage areas.

The Silverman Fine Arts Center also contains a “black box” studio theatre with a L’Air sprung floor and flexible seating and lighting arrangements to allow for ample variation and experimentation in staging.
