Seating approximately 3500, it was built in 1925 in a natural amphitheater and used for convocations, rallies, pageants, and commencement exercises. Today it's used for outdoor concerts, religious ceremonies and a quiet place to study or daydream. The area behind it called "The Enchanted Forest" was cleared out in the early 1930's when the Greek Theater Gardens were designed - a garden type park complete with a lagoon. The reflection pool was 150 ft. long, 30 ft. wide and 2 ft. deep with a 8 ft. high statue of the explorer "Desoto". The statue was crushed and thrown into the Mississippi River; the same fate as the Spanish discoverer.
