About the Venues
The Tobias Theatre at Newfields
4000 Michigan Road, Indianapolis, Indiana 46208
The Tobias Theater is a 530-seat masterpiece that has been declared the “best listening room in Indy” and “best screening room in Indianapolis” by Indianapolis Monthly magazine. There’s room to relax and enjoy concerts, comedy, live podcasts, and dance!
LILLY HALL
4741 Clarendon Rd E Dr, Indianapolis, IN 46208
Dedicated in 1962, Lilly Hall is the home of the Jordan College of the Arts, which includes the School of Music, the departments of Dance and Theatre, as well as the Art + Design and Arts Administration programs. In 2003, the Lilly Courtyard Building—a 48,000-square-foot expansion of Lilly Hall—opened. Lilly Hall houses faculty offices, more than 20 practice rooms, five dance studios, two black-box theaters, nine mediated classrooms and rehearsal halls, soundproofed electronic music and percussion studios, a Multisensory Learning Facility, and music libraries for the band, orchestra, and choral departments. Lilly Hall was built using major funding given by Lilly Endowment Inc. and is named in honor of the Lilly family.
