The David Copeland Blackbox Theatre at Boston University College of Fine Arts is one of several black box studio theatres that provide theatre students with a myriad of performance and design and production opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located on the third floor of the CFA Building (855 Commonwealth Avenue) in Room 354, the black box studio has a seating capacity of 20-60, giving audience members an intimate theatrical experience and our student actors an opportunity to make a connection with their audience (without breaking the fourth wall<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In December 2007, the black box studio was named after Mr. David Copeland (CFA’75), an actor, director, stunt performer, and horseman who graduated from CFA with a dramatic arts degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student Productions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The David Copeland Black Box Theatre holds a special place for many students. Not only does it serve as a classroom, and educational space, but many graduating seniors present their final thesis to an audience in this theatre. First-year graduate students also benefit from this space, as they come together for Masterclass, a series of collaborative projects throughout the academic year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
