The Loretto-Hilton Center for the Performing Arts

130 Edgar Road (on the campus of Webster University), Webster Groves, Missouri

The Loretto-Hilton Center for the Performing Arts, built in 1966 on the campus of Webster University, was the first facility in the United States designed specifically to house both a professional acting company and an undergraduate theatre arts department.

Today, the Loretto-Hilton Center is home to two professional performing arts companies — The Rep and Opera Theatre of Saint Louis — and to Webster University’s Conservatory of Theatre & Dance.
