JERITA FOLEY BUSCHMAN THEATRE

This intimate, 175-seat proscenium theatre opened when Ed Landreth Hall was first opened in 1949. It was originally named The Little Theatre, and was later re-named University Theatre in 1965. In 2005, it was renovated and renamed the Jerita Foley Buschman Theatre, after the patron who gave the leading gift for the renovation project. The Buschman Theatre now features new continental seating, and new carpet and paint. The building addition also includes the LaLonnie Lehman Lobby, named in honor of TCU's Professor of Costume Design & History, and funded by the Mike & Maryann Atkinson Foundation. The lobby is graced with vintage theatre posters which are a gift from the private collection of Lyle Dye, of North Creek, New York.

The first production in this theatre in 1949 was the American comedy You Can't Take It With You, by Moss Hart & George S. Kaufman. It was chosen to be produced there again in 2005 as the opening production for the Buschman Theatre. Since its opening, this theatre has been the primary home for Theatre TCU and has housed more than 250 TCU theatre productions."
