In September 2004, Shady Side Academy celebrated the official opening of The Hillman Center for Performing Arts with an inaugural performance in the Richard E. Rauh Theater. Beginning in 2005, the Hillman Performing Arts Series, which featured professional performances from showcasing local and global artists, commenced to great acclaim. In 2008, the Hillman also began exhibiting art in its lobbies. Music, theater, magic, dance, film, lectures and more are available in the Hillman, almost every week throughout the year.
