The University of Pennsylvania announced today a $5 million gift to support from alumnus Ed Kane and Marty Wallace and name the new 325-seat proscenium theatre in the new Student Performing Arts Center, designed by Steven Holl Architects and currently under construction.
When the building opens in early 2027, the Edward W. Kane Theatre will serve the 2,000-plus undergraduate students on Penn’s campus who participate in performance groups ranging from dance to musical theatre and beyond.
