Built in 1908, formerly known as the Kahn Building, this 39,740-square-foot facility housed the offices and storage space for Kahn & Co., a national linen distributor. The building, named for Tom Crites, member of the SCAD Board of Trustees, now houses the 150-seat Mondanaro Theater, set design and scene shop, dance studio, classrooms and a costume studio, among others. Students in the performing arts program develop skills within an arts environment that emphasize visual creativity, advanced design technologies, hands-on production and cultural dialogue. Production design graduates often embark on careers such as art directors, television producers, production designers and theme park designers while performing arts graduates pursue careers as actors, directors, casting directors, models, producers and technical directors.
