Purple Masque Theatre

Nestled within the iconic limestone exterior of Memorial Stadium is the new home of the Purple Masque Theatre. After making a move from the east side of the stadium to the west side, the Purple Masque brings its historic purpose dating back to 1974 into a state of the art new facility. The Theatre provides an expanded space for experimental theatre and student learning (through showcases, workshops, stage readings, Ebony Theatre productions, and more).
