Holy Cross’ $110M Prior Performing Arts Center opens for fall 2022 semester

The Prior Performing Arts Center at Worcester’s The College of the Holy Cross is now in active use with the start of a new semester and will be open to the public during a community day on Sept. 24th, the College announced on Thursday. 

The center includes Luth Concert Hall, a 400-seat proscenium theater; Boroughs Theatre, a 200-seat flexible studio space; and the relocated Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Art Gallery.

The 84,000-square-foot facility was designed by New York’s Diller Scofidio + Renfro, the firm behind the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, the Museum of Modern Art’s redesign in New York and the redesign of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York as well as many other cultural facilities.

English professor Kyle Frisina was selected as the interim director of the arts center. In addition to her academic credentials, she has served as director of play development at Second Stage Theater and associate producer at New York Stage and Film, both in New York City.
