About Gracie
The Gracie is named for Grace McCollum, the granddaughter of longtime Husson trustee and friend Hilda Hutchins McCollum. The facility includes a 500-seat proscenium theater, 360 in the orchestra, 140 in the balcony, a fly system with 26 counterweighted line sets, rehearsal hall, orchestra pit, scene design and construction area, sound, recording and light booths and 3 full dressing rooms. Also the Gracie is wired with a 3-way mic split and the ability to feed live performances to a 34' mobile truck for live broadcast to local radio, TV, online and audio recording purposes.
Since its opening in 2009, the Gracie has hosted a wide variety of events from concerts to lectures, to theater shows to a drum clinic by Todd Sucherman from Styx. As she continues to mature, our hope is that Gracie will become a centerpiece for arts and learning, not only at Husson University but throughout the greater Bangor area.
