About Danny Peterson Theatre at the Morrison Center

Welcome to the Danny Peterson Theatre, a versatile black-box venue housed inside the Velma V. Morrison Center for the Performing Arts on the Boise State University campus. With a flexible seating design, this intimate performance space hosts BSU productions, touring shows, and community events. The theatre’s adaptable configuration supports a range of productions—from intimate readings to fully staged performances—while maintaining an academic rhythm as part of Boise State’s educational mission.

Located at 2201 Cesar Chavez Lane, Boise, ID 83725, the Danny Peterson Theatre offers easy access to campus amenities, parking, and a variety of nearby lodging and dining options. Whether you’re planning a campus visit, a night of theatre, or a family outing, we’ve got you covered with practical details and trusted partner recommendations.

Seating in the Danny Peterson Theatre is configurable with four movable seating banks and a 21‑foot grid height, providing a flexible stage area that adapts to each production. Capacity runs at about 210 seats, with on-site parking included when you attend Morrison Center events. On performance nights, a courtesy shuttle may operate to help you reach the venue from surrounding lots. The space doubles as an academic classroom, so configurations can vary by production, and there is no single fixed seating chart.

Transit to the venue is convenient via Valley Regional Transit routes serving Boise State campus, including Routes 2 Broadway, 3 Vista, 29 Overland, 40 Caldwell/Boise Express, and 45 Boise State/CWI. If you’re driving, use the Brady Garage (west side) or the West Reserve Lot for parking; accessibility parking is available. Check your event details for parking inclusions and shuttle times.
