Kents Hill School recently cut the ribbon celebrating the conversion and transformation of their former Newton gym into the Performing Arts Center in Newton Hall. A multipurpose gathering and performing arts facility the Center includes the Vivian Russell Theater “where Morning Meeting will be held, visiting lectures and presentations will be hosted, and, of course, Kents Hill’s theater troupe and musical groups will perform.”

The Center also features music practice facilities, visual art gallery space and a recording studio

While the first phase is complete, work on phase two continues. 

“The refit will see the second part of the building’s new lobby completed, permanent theater seating installed, a stage manager’s booth added, a permanent video projector for presentations and movies, and lighting and sound systems for the stage.”
