After many years of seeing a desperate need for a performing arts center in Claremore, not only for the school district but for the community as well, Frank Robson and his wife put the plans in motion. That dream became a reality and a new 67,250 square feet performing arts center was built.

The Center includes a 1,200-seat theatre, 200-studio theatre/drama classroom, and educational support space. The new Center opened with the Oklahoma Shakespearean Festival’s professional touring production of the Disney musical, “Beauty and the Beast.”

Schuler Shook assisted with the planning and equipping of the theatre and all related support spaces.
