Welcome to the Performing Arts Center at Cal State San Bernardino
The all-new Performing Arts Center at CSUSB represents a bold investment in creativity, collaboration, and community engagement. The facility serves as a dynamic hub for artistic excellence and expands the university’s capacity to present high-quality performances and educational experiences.
At the heart of the center is a state-of-the-art 478-seat main stage, engineered to deliver exceptional acoustics, sightlines, and technical flexibility. This premier performance venue supports a wide range of musical, theatrical, and interdisciplinary productions, providing students with professional experience and audiences with an immersive entertainment destination. Complementing the main stage are multiple rehearsal halls and practice rooms, thoughtfully designed to accommodate individual study, ensemble work, and full-scale production preparation.
The Performing Arts Center also features a modern recording studio, enabling students and faculty to engage in audio production, composition, and recording projects within a controlled, industry-relevant environment. Multiple student lounges create welcoming spaces for collaboration, reflection, and informal learning outside of the classroom.
The center will host a diverse calendar of music and theatrical performances throughout the academic year, showcasing student talent, faculty artistry, and the work of visiting professionals. In addition to serving the campus community, the facility will also offer regional organizations and partners access to a premier performing arts venue.
The new Performing Arts Center will work in conjunction with the original Performing Arts Building, helping to expand opportunities for interdisciplinary programming and larger-scale productions. Together, these facilities position CSUSB as a leading cultural and educational resource in the region—one that celebrates artistic expression, supports student success, and invites the broader community to experience the transformative power of the performing arts.
