project and future competitions in Bill’s classes.”
The “First Look” event, which will be held in early 2006, will give members of the public and college community an idea of what the theater will be like when it is completed. The theater is the centerpiece of a new visual and performing arts center the college is building at 11th Street and Santa Monica Boulevard.
The theater will feature both student work and professional engagements in music, theater, dance and more. The Madison complex also will house SMC’s music department.
The center, designed by Zecchetto Architects of Santa Monica, is funded with a combination of public and private funds and is scheduled to be completed in early 2007. The Madison Project of Santa Monica College is an arts education and community outreach organization that designs arts education programs for children and adults.
