The Wortham Theatre, located inside Alice Pratt Brown Hall, is a traditional black-box theatre with a focus on electroacoustic music teaching and performance. Large-screen projection, multi-channel surround audio, and a MIDI-capable electronic grand piano enhance the production possibilities of the space, and it serves as a large teaching and workshop space for the Rice Electroacoustic Music Labs. Experimental and up-to-the-minute performances find a home in this very flexible space with its flat floor, movable seats, and theatrical lighting. This theatre seats approximately 200 and its small size ensures that everyone is close to the action, and the dedicated nature of the space allows rehearsals and technical work to go on without conflicting with other Shepherd School performances.
