About the theater
SCADshow is where stars, guests, and patrons connect through arts, culture, entertainment, community, and conversation. With two state-of-the-art theaters — a 700-seat main stage and an intimate 130-seat space — equipped with industry-leading projection and sound production technology, SCADshow offers the best in high-quality cinema and live-show experiences.
Located in the heart of Midtown Atlanta, SCADshow is home to the university signature events SCAD TVfest and SCAD AnimationFest, yearly festivals dedicated to the celebration of television, streaming, and digital media. The theater also hosts a regular lineup of screenings and live performances.
SCADshow’s theater spaces are complemented by SCAD COURT, an artfully crafted courtyard that houses a 31 ft. by 18 ft. LED wall, empowering event partners to create an immersive outdoor experience and showcase photos, video, and branded content.
