At the University at Buffalo, students are given the opportunity to design the productions such as a play, musical, or two dance concerts. UB has three theaters used by the Theater Department. The Drama Theater, which seats approximately 388, is where the Zodiaque Dance Company and musical are typically held, while the Black Box Theater, with a maximum of 150 seats, is where the Zodiaque Dance Ensemble and play are held. There is also the Katherine Cornell Theater where the Emerging Choreographers Showcase is held.
     The Department of Theatre and Dance allows students to take roles in every aspect of theater during their time at the university.  ​
