Celebrating Hal Herman’s Legacy with the Virtual Opening of the Harold Herman Lab Theatre

Shenandoah Conservatory recently celebrated the opening of a new state-of-the-art teaching and student performance space: the Harold Herman Lab Theatre. In that virtual celebration, we provided an overview of the space, remembered our beloved Harold “Hal” Herman, and honored the many donors and friends who made this special project possible.

The Harold Herman Lab Theater builds upon Hal’s reputation for excellence in theater, his commitment to the highest levels of teaching and student performance, and his legacy at Shenandoah. The Harold Herman Lab Theatre is equipped with state-of-the-art lighting design and sound tools and offers the flexibility of both a multi-use performance space and classroom with seating for approximately 60 guests.

We are now thrilled to share an exciting virtual experience with you. Visit su.edu/hhlt to view the virtual celebration and to learn more about Harold Herman and his contributions to Shenandoah Conservatory and Shenandoah Summer Music Theatre.
