Leave a legacy with an engraved paver at the new Dick Wolf Drama Center

The USC School of Dramatic Arts has just opened its stunning state-of-the-art drama center at the center of USC’s arts corridor. This 40,000 square-foot student “creative hub” includes a mainstage theatre, a Cabaret/Improv theatre, ample classroom studios, as well as a one-of-a-kind Professional Development Center and the Sparks Center for Community & Culture. This new creative 5-story space houses a beautiful courtyard, a vibrant lounge for students to convene, rehearse and collaborate at the center of USC’s bustling campus of 21 schools. Anchoring an arts corridor that includes the USC School of Cinematic Arts, Thornton School of Music and Kaufman School of Dance, this new drama center sits in one of the most prominent locations on campus, on the corner of 34th and Hoover.
