Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts

The Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts is a performing arts facility at Fairfield University with two theaters of different capacities. The main hall seats 740 people, while the experimental theater accommodates around 150 and allows for smaller or more experimental productions.

The center was established in 1990 and named after Regina, the wife of Leslie C. Quick Jr., who supported its creation as a member of Fairfield University's Board of Trustees. This institution's founding represented a significant moment in the development of the university's arts facilities.

The center hosts theater productions, classical concerts, and dance performances that bring artists and audiences from the region together throughout the year. These events create space for artistic exchange and allow visitors to experience both contemporary and traditional art forms.

The venue hosts a regular series of classical music concerts performed by established artists and ensembles accessible to visitors from Connecticut and beyond. It helps to check the event schedule in advance to select performances that match your interests.

The center presents an annual Gerard Manley Hopkins Award for Excellence in the Arts that honors innovative artists and recognizes their contribution to the arts world. Past award recipients rank among the most respected figures in American theater.
