The new performing arts center at Texas State is finally open. In this Bobcat Update, Zach Harrow tells us why all students should be excited about the newest addition to Texas State University.

On February 27th, Texas State finally pulled back the curtain on the new 40-million-dollar performing arts center. Located on the corner of University Drive and Moon Street, the center comes in at just over 69-thousand-square-feet.
(Stand Up)After years of construction and millions of dollars, the new performing arts center is finally open and is already being used by Texas State students and teachers to its full potential.
Across the street from the original Texas State Theater building, the center will host all future theater, dance and music events by Texas State.

The center includes classrooms, rehearsals studios, faculty offices and, most importantly, performance stages. Having a new building doesn't mean the theater department will abandon its older facility. The familiar round building will continue to be used, though it's clear the new structure will offer many enhancements.

The premiere production in the new performing arts center will be Cole Porter's musical, "Anything Goes," starting April 7th.
