"I was the first custodial engineer for the Bernhard Arts and Humanities Building and the Mertens Theater, when it opened in 1972. I worked for University of Bridgeport Buildings and Grounds, Al Dickinson was Building Manager and Eddie Tisdale worked the overnight shift. I took care of the theater and gallery, cleaned every room, scrubbed every fixture, and stripped and buffed every floor there for almost 2 years, all while studying under some pretty great UB professors. It was fun debating aesthetics with Bruce Glaser, Chairman of the Art Department, while vacuuming his hallway. We had quite an audience! During the summers, I washed every window on campus, inside and out. When I worked night shift, I used to get all my work done and then practice piano in one of the many practice rooms, or edit a movie on one of Prof. Warren Bass' 6 plate 16mm Moviola Film Editors. I was greatly influenced by my experiences in that building then when it was new. Looking back, those were some pretty great days in an idyllic location at the foot of the park. Maybe I'll be invited to come back and reminisce someday!"
"Nice theater but otherwise an old utilitarian school building"
"One of the largest Theater's in Bridgeport but is is poorly maintained and has not been brought up-to-date with the lighting and sound systems needed for a professional theater. It is mostly used by the University fro their productions and Graduation ceremonies"
"Great facility. Grateful we could have the play for BIA there!"
"Found on the campus of the University of Bridgeport, this theatre is clean, very well lit, and has high tech theatrical equipment. This theatre is mostly used for plays, and practice for people who are theatre majors. Good views from every angle."
