Red Skelton First Annual Festival / Grand Opening Gala

When Vincennes University opened the doors to the Red Skelton Performing Arts Center in the spring of 2006, a world of opportunity will await students, visitors and fans from around the world. The building includes an 850 seat theater dedicated to the extraordinary life and years of exemplary professional work of a great Hoosier and American.
 
Red Skelton touched the lives of every generation during his more than 70 years in the entertainment business. 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 classrooms, rehearsal rooms and dressing rooms. The grand foyer serves as a gallery for Red Skelton paintings, statues, and movie posters. A variety of uses are envisioned for the Performing Arts Center. The theater will host Vincennes University theatrical and musical productions along with special events, convocations and conventions.
