The Touhill brings the performing arts to the University of Missouri-St. Louis campus community and to audiences from the St. Louis area and across the Midwest and serves as an academic laboratory for the UMSL College of Fine Arts and Communication.
Better known among locals as the Touhill, the Blanche M. Touhill Performing Arts Centeris situated on the University of Missouri-St. Louis campus. It is not only well known for its performances but also for its actual structure, designed by famous architect I.M. Peiand his firm.

The Touhill functions as an entertainment venue - Dance St. Louis performs here - as well as a "learning laboratory." Performances and practice sessions take place in both Touhill theaters and the practice facility; the center is also home to a number of master classes and the beloved summertimeJim Widner Big Band Jazz Camp.
