The Connors Family Fine Arts Center
home of the Resinski Black Box Theatre
Our new home for Theatre, Music, Visual, and Performing Arts is located on 181 St. Catherine Street in Loretto, Pa.
A grassroots effort by a passionate group of theatre alumni funded the construction of the Resinski Black Box Theatre, named after beloved director and drama professor Kenny Resinski, and his wife Bonnie.
JFK Student Center
Many SFU alumni consider the JFK Student Center nothing short of sacred because they spent much of their college life creating art in this space. Even with the opening of the Resinski Black Box Theatre, larger productions will still be performed in the JFK Auditorium.
The JFK Center features a large auditorium for live music, comedy, and theatrical performances. The auditorium has been the backdrop for generations of productions at SFU.
