A major $48 million campus expansion began construction at Pebblebrook in the summer of 2020. Included is a new 750-seat proscenium theatre with orchestra pit and theatrical rigging fly system, two large dance studios, a scene shop, PAPA store, administrative offices, and a technical theatre laboratory. The new spaces will be adjacent to the existing Reece Theatre. The two theatres will share a common lobby space. Completion of the SPLOST-funded project is expected by the fall of 2022.
