About OSU Mount Hall Theatre

OSU Mount Hall Theatre has a storied place in Ohio State’s campus history. While Mount Hall itself has been repurposed for OSU offices, the Mount Hall area remains a key West Campus transit stop and a hub for campus activity. This page provides a comprehensive overview of the venue’s legacy, current status, and practical details for visitors and performers alike. For on-campus theatre spaces, OSU now concentrates operations in the Theatre, Film, and Media Arts (TFMA) Building, which opened with a dedication in April 2024, continuing OSU’s tradition of high-quality performances and events.

While Mount Hall is no longer used as a performance venue, its location on West Campus remains accessible via the CABS Campus Connector, with Mount Hall listed as a transit stop. Parking is typically plentiful in free West Campus lots with accessible spaces behind Mount Hall, and the building’s east entrance is commonly used by staff and visitors. For event attendees, consider nearby campus lodging like The Blackwell Inn (on OSU campus) and other local accommodations. When planning visits or performances to OSU, we’ve got you covered with practical details and insider recommendations to make your experience smooth and straightforward.
