The furniture for these rooms includes trapezoid tables that can be arranged in a variety of configurations, wheeled chairs, and a podium that can be moved into the center of the classroom.

These rooms are open to any department or discipline. If you would like to use these spaces to help your students engage in meaningful collaborative activities in your courses, contact Dave Fischer at fischer@canisius.edu to request an assignment to one of these classroom spaces. Please specify which room you are requesting.

Not all requests can be honored, but best efforts will be made to honor your request. NOTE: any faculty assigned to SC 1053 will be required to participate in training with the Media Center, giving instructors access to the maximum features available in the space.

Written by Bryony Lavery, “Frozen” tells the story of the disappearance of a 10 year-old girl (Rhona). The play follows Rhona’s mother (played by Dugan), the murderer who took Rhona and the psychiatrist who studies whether serial killers can help themselves. Over the course of years, the audience learns what happened to young Rhona, what happens to the man who took her, and the path to forgiveness and life taken by the mother.

Tickets are $20 for general admission, $15, $10 for students and free for Canisius students with ID. For reservations or more information call (716) 867-3102 or visit redthreadtheatre.info.
