1 forming arts, and music and drama, has become a great asset to Shepherd College. The theatre in the Creative Arts Center is modern and professional, with a seating capacity of approxi- mately 48O for concerts, programs and amateur play performances. The large, proscenium stage, as opposed to the small working space previously used at Reynolds Hall, became a definite plus for performers. Behind the stage is the modern con- venience of the loading dock, used to bring in such items as the Steinway Concert Grand Piano housed in the CAC theatre.

A much needed addition to Shepherd's facilities was the CAC photography lab. This professionally- equipped room has offered much for the photography majors working on the college newspaper or yearbook staff, and also those working simply to im- prove their skills. Other additions to the CAC include a commercial art lab, professionally- lighted art galleries and a complete art department, featuring rooms for metal workers and sculptors.

Puppet Theatre to the whimsical James Thurber play The 13 Clocks. A photography exhibit by Bart Parker challenged photographers of all levels. Concerts by the Invitational Choral Clinic, the Shepherd College Jazz En- semble, the Millbrook Center Chamber Orchestra and many others helped
