Since 1983, the Williams Center for the Arts has hosted the world’s finest performers in classical and world music, jazz, dance, theater, and more. It is home to the Williams Center Gallery, the art and music departments, the College Theater program, and the student-led Arts Society.

In addition to professional performances, the College’s six student ensembles perform twice a year and the theater program and Marquis Players hold 4-5 productions during the school year. The center also hosts numerous workshops and master classes put on by top performers and artists, such as Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, legendary Broadway composer Stephen Sondheim, and many more.
