West Burlington, Ia- Southeastern Community College and the Capitol Theater entered into a one-year lease agreement beginning July 1, 2021.
The agreement will allow the college increased access and use of the building, as well as opportunities for student learning in the business of running an event facility. This agreement coincides with the college’s initiative to broaden performing arts programming.
The college is expanding its music offerings in the upcoming fall semester, introducing digital music production courses to coincide with its traditional offerings.
Music instructor Dr. Daniel Pappas looks forward to the opportunities that the space will lend to the program.
“I am excited about the real-world experiences our students will get by performing at the Capitol,” he says. “The opportunity for students to take what they learn in a studio environment and use it for a large performance space will be invaluable.”
SCC’s music program has held performances at the Capitol Theater each spring for several years, and the college looks forward to presenting more events.
