Department of Performing Arts

The Department of Performing Arts is housed in the Brooks Center for the Performing Arts at Clemson University. Established in 1994, the Brooks Center has been the hub for the performing arts in Clemson for more than two decades. This 87,000-square-foot facility serves as a professional roadhouse, hosting world-class professional dance, theatre and musical performances throughout the academic year in its spacious, yet intimate, 979-seat proscenium auditorium. Its 100-seat blackbox theatre is home to exciting student theatre performances, and a small recital hall serves as a multi-purpose space for classes, gatherings and student performances.

The department offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in performing arts with concentrations in audio, music and theatre, as well as minors in music and theatre. Clemson students of all majors can participate in a variety of ensembles and participate in music lessons for class credit.
