H-E-B Black Box Theater Breaks Ground at St. Philip’s College
On March 28, St. Philip’s College celebrated the groundbreaking of the new H-E-B Black Box Theater, a significant addition to the Watson Fine Arts Center, enhancing the Fine Arts and Kinesiology Department. This development was supported by a generous $1 million donation from H-E-B, along with crucial funding from the U.S. Department of Education’s Title III program.
Winell Herron of H-E-B emphasized the company’s commitment to supporting education and the arts, highlighting the importance of fostering creativity and innovation. The H-E-B Black Box Theater, spanning 20,000 square feet and seating up to 200 people, aims to serve over 1,000 students. It’s envisioned as a center for artistic education and a community space for cultural engagement.
Dr. Adena Williams Loston, President of St. Philip’s College, remarked on the theater’s potential to advance educational and artistic opportunities, particularly in acting, dance, music, and set design, for students and the broader east San Antonio community.
