WELCOME TO THE

Hendricks Hall : 1921 | hendrickshall.com

The Hendricks StoryBuilt to serve the campus and the community as a venue for the performing arts and public forums, Hendricks Hall has served in a variety of roles since its dedication on Oct. 22, 1923. Through the years, the use of the Hall has been as diverse as the individuals who have graced its doorways, from student assemblies, convocations and senior exams to Broadway plays, musicals and operas; from lectures by world leaders, first ladies and Supreme Court justices to famous comedians, magicians and country music stars.

Why RenovateAt a recent pre-performance dinner for the 2016 Presidents Gala at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, guest host Michael Stern, Musical Director of the Kansas City Symphony Orchestra, addressed those in attendance making the following comment "...the performing ensembles at UCM are of the highest quality. It is time that their performance venue matches the quality that the students and faculty have achieved."

Current State of Hendricks Hall

• A suspended acoustic ceiling was added in the 1950s in order to reduce reverberation in the Hall, making the facility primarily a lecture space.

• The acoustic ceiling not only covered a beautiful carved ceiling with ornate moldings, medallions and cornices, it rendered the Hall nearly useless for performing ensembles that rely on reverberation to allow for the highest quality experience for audiences and performers.

• Since the installation of the acoustic ceiling little work has been done in Hendricks Hall other than replacement of seats, attempts to add amplified sound, and small cosmetic updates.

• The pipe organ is no longer functional.

• A temporary stage extension must be erected for ensemble performances to place performers outside the proscenium and add what little reverberation is still possible with the acoustic ceiling.

Renovation, Restoration, and PreservationTo date, a total of $250,000 in pledges and gifts have been identified as a start toward the $3.2 million dollars needed to complete the following renovation and restoration phases:

Phase 2 - Restoration of the original plaster ceiling Phase 3 - New organ built and installed; new stage extension and acoustic proscenium Phase 4 - Renovation of the dressing rooms, green room, and audio and aesthetic updates
