Music and Dramatic Arts Building (MDA)


Dalrymple Drive
海角社区
Baton Rouge, LA 70803

In September 2009, the Theatre & Dramatic Arts Building celebrated its grand reopening, following a 4.5 year, $22 million renovation that included not only restoration of classrooms and practice space, but performance venues such as the historic Claude L. Shaver Theatre and creation of a new black-box Studio Theatre. These improvements have allowed the CMDA to keep pace and even surpass other regional institutions in terms of facilities, programs offered, and involvement in the community.
