Southern Illinois University-Carbondale's 1,200-seat theater is located on the historic "old campus" and hosts every genre of performing arts. Constructed in 1918 and renovated in 1972, this magnificent facility is home to a 59-rank Reuter Pipe Organ.
President William Howard Taft gave the first public address when the building was dedicated to Henry William Shryock, president of SIUC from 1913 to 1935.
