Under
the direction of Mr. Chris Gloff, director of performing arts, the
chapel in the priests' residence was transformed into a theater.
The new theater accommodates 150 in plush burgundy theater seats.
Brass rails accent the view from the balcony.
The beauty of the old chapel is retained in the new theater. Architectural
features, which include a wooden ceiling, arches, and stained glass
windows, continue to contribute to the unique atmosphere.
The vibrant stained glass window depicting St. Basil the Great provides
the theater with its name and an interesting focal point.
The window, a gift from the classes of 1972 and 1973, was designed
by Sr. Jeanne Ambre, SS.C.M., class of 1965, in memory of former principal
Rev. John Cherry, C.S.B.
The chapel lights, donated by the Gravenstreter family in memory of
their son Jim (64), still grace the ceiling.
For years to come, the theater will provide a gathering place for
the Andrean community to celebrate the creativity of its students. |
