The Masonic Auditorium

The Masonic Auditorium is the site of weekly student performances during the summer season.  Many groups rehearse in the hall during the week, and there are often special activities held in the building.  The Masonic Auditorium can accommodate over 1,200 audience members, and the unique design of the building allows visitors to be outdoors while inside.  A concession stand and public washrooms are located in the hall.
