Powers Recital Hall provides a smaller space for more intimate performances and student directed theatre productions. An acting classroom, green room, and full shop facilities allow the NCWC Theatre Department to train its students in a first rate setting. Two art galleries host traveling art exhibits as well as the work of local artists and Wesleyan students. The Carlton Board Room, named after the long-time Chairman of the College’s Board of Trustees Phil Carlton, is a excellent space for meetings and special class presentations. Connected to the rest of the campus by the College Common, the Dunn Center for the Performing Arts is the largest facility of its kind in Eastern North Carolina and is considered one of the best cultural centers on the East Coast.
