South Bend Civic Theatre - Wilson Auditorium

Comment on Facebook

Marjorie H. & James M. Wilson Auditorium Originally constructed in 1916 as the First Church of Christ, Scientist, the building is distinguished by its classic Greek columns and solid limestone exterior. Inside is a marble-ornamented main lobby (which Civic has designated the 1st Source Bank Main Lobby), a spectacular windowed dome over the Marjorie H. & James M. Wilson Auditorium, a second, upper lobby off the main auditorium, designated the Martha Jane Fields Lobby, and a spacious, lower-level, former social hall of the church that has been re-designed as the Barbara K. Warner Studio Theatre. The main auditorium seats 209, and features state-of-the-art lighting and sound features. The studio theatre seats 90-100 and is designed as a "black-box" which allows for flexible seating configurations and varying acting spaces.
