Our talented friends at ASH Theatre are using our space to rehearse for their upcoming trip to the International Thespian Festival while their school is under construction.

We always love to see our empty space filled up with creativity!

All of the amazing work on our stage couldn’t happen without the support of our incredible community partners like Aubrey Bolen The Indian Creek Studio. His commitment to creating excellence on local theatre stages is truly inspiring to all of us at Empty Space Players.

Thank you to all who supported the Empty Space Players during the 2025/2026 academic year.

This was a year of incredible growth for our program, featuring several major milestones including:

Over 40 students participating in our season productions, plus over 80 students performing in our Intro to Theatre class plays!

Three world-premiere scripts, written by local high school and college students in our first-annual Young Playwrights’ Festival.

An amazing collaboration with Rapides Symphony Orchestra for their holiday concert.

The return of musicals to the LSUA stage, this time featuring a cast and crew made up entirely of students!

It’s a great time to get involved in the arts at LSU Alexandria. We hope you’ll continue to support us as we build this program.

Watch this page for the 2026/2027 season announcement, coming soon!

We can’t wait until our Empty Space is filled with music again on Friday, May 9!

The Black Box Sessions returns to LSUA College of Liberal Arts, bringing artists and audiences together in an intimate, one-of-a-kind setting.

Inside our black box theater, each performance will go beyond the music, featuring conversations that highlight the stories behind the music.

This year's lineup features a strong group of artists, each bringing their own sound and perspective to the stage.
