Clowes Memorial Hall officially known as "Clowes Memorial Hall of Butler University" is a theatre located on the campus of Butler University, in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. Opened in late 1963, it has hosted numerous concerts, plays, and guest speakers.

History

Clowes Hall opened on October 18, 1963, in memory of Dr. George Henry Alexander Clowes. Clowes was a former researcher for Eli Lilly and Company. Clowes maintained a lifetime love of the arts, and with the help of his wife, and Butler University, the Clowes fund was created to help build what is now Clowes Memorial Hall.

Notable performances

The Clowes Memorial Hall has been home to a number of music performances and productions, including Les Misérables.

In 2011, Adam Lambert recorded his Glam Nation Tour at the venue for the Glam Nation Live CD/DVD set.
