When Vincennes University opened the doors to the Center, it opened a world of opportunity to students, visitors and fans from around the globe. The building includes an 850-seat theater dedicated to the extraordinary life and years of exemplary professional work by a great Hoosier and American. Red Skelton touched the lives of every generation during his more than 70 years in the entertainment bu

siness. Although Red died in 1997, he continues to influence people of all ages through his achievements as a clown, comedian, actor, writer, painter, patriot and humanitarian. In addition to the theater, the Performing Arts Center includes studios, classrooms, rehearsal rooms and dressing rooms. The grand foyer serves as a gallery for Red Skelton paintings, statues, and movie posters. The theater will host Vincennes University theatrical and musical productions along with special events, convocations and conventions.
