While Belmont Abbey College expands its performing arts facilities, the historic Haid Theatre is receiving a comprehensive renovation that enhances the functionality of the existing 200-seat venue while maintaining its role as a valued campus performance space. The improvements respond to evolving facility needs and reflect the College’s commitment to preserving a theater that has long served both the campus and the broader community for over 140 years.

Our team carefully removed the existing stage in 48 hours and is rebuilding the performance platform designed by LITTLE Diversified Architectural Consulting. Restoration projects like this require precision, planning, and respect for the building’s history. Every step brings us closer to preserving this cherished campus landmark while preparing it for the next chapter.

With an expected completion in mid-August, there will be no interruptions to the start of the Fall semester. Check out the performances lined up for the upcoming 26-27 season here.
