The Asteria Theatre was recently named the winner of the Green Building Inititative's (GBI) Green Globes Project of the Year award. The theatre is the first performing arts center to use geothermal energy, which is sourced from CMU's campus-wide loop harnessing the earth’s energy for heating and cooling.
Join us at the Asteria Theatre, where the boundless universe meets the intimate stage. CMU Stages invites you to journey beyond the stars and into the heart of storytelling. Experience the magic of live performance as we bridge divides with creativity. For millennia the stars have united humanity in wonder and awe. But we need not always look up to the sky for inspiration. At CMU, the Asteria Theatre brings the stars to the stage. Look up, look ahead, and enjoy the show.
