For twenty years, the intimate Hartshorn Theatre has been the home of the Professional Theatre Training and the presentation of the world's great plays. Now through the overwhelming generosity of donors and the leadership of David and Louise Roselle, both the Resident Ensemble Players and the PTTP have gained two additional performance spaces - the Wilhelmina Press Thompson Theatre and the Studio Theatre, both housed in the beautiful Roselle Center for the Arts.
