Through association with The Clarence Brown Theatre, the facilities for actor training at The University of Tennessee are among the finest in the nation. The theatre offers a full production calendar of new and classical plays, musicals and international work that are vital to the cultural life of the region. This enables actors in training to acquire experience under the guidance of a faculty of professional artists as well as academic scholars, within a community that includes actors, directors, designers, dramaturges and technical artists. In addition to The Clarence Brown, the department has two other performance spaces: The Ula Love Doughty Carousel Theatre, and The Clarence Brown Lab Theatre.
The Clarence Brown Theatre is a 574-seat proscenium theatre built in 1970. It is dedicated to Clarence Brown, distinguished film director and UT alumnus. Located in the center of the UT campus, The Clarence Brown is home to the box office, scene shop, costume and craft shop, electrics and lighting shop, a properties shop, actors’ dressing rooms and offices. The theatre provides access and seating for the physically challenged, and listening systems for the deaf and hearing impaired.
The oldest theatre on campus, the Carousel Theatre was constructed in the early 1950’s and named for CBT benefactor Ula Love Doughty. It is an arena theatre with flexible seating for approximately 350. All seating is general admission.
The CBT also houses a Lab Theatre used for theatre instruction, rehearsal, and new – our CBT Studio Series. Most performance and movement classes are held in the Lab Theatre. It also is host to CBT Studio Series. Information on these performances is available at the CBT Box Office.
