Varenhorst created two theater performance spaces with a total of 28,000 square feet on the 16th and 17th floors of the University of the Arts’ Terra Building. The Ellen and Ronald Caplan Center for the Performing Arts includes a 200-seat Recital Hall for musical performances and a 100-seat Black Box theater for experimental productions. New classrooms and state of the art theater systems support the educational goals of the University’s School of Music and Theater Arts departments.
