You are looking east from the edge of the Pierson and Florence Grieve courtyard on the U of M's west bank campus. On the left is the Meredith Wilson Library. Farther back and on the right is the Rarig Center, where the theater department performs. The Carlson School of Management is behind you.

The theater department used to perform for children in a peppermint-striped tent on River Flats park(on the east bank). The showboat was moored there, but it has since been destroyed by a fire while undergoing renovations in St.Paul.
