The UIS Performing Arts Center venues are temporarily closed!
While our performance venues are closed for 15 months due to a major campus plumbing infrastructure update, our ticket and administrative offices remain open.
Our stages may be dark, but the UIS Performing Arts Center is still active behind the scenes. We're continuing our educational and community outreach programming鈥攁nd working hard to refresh Sangamon Auditorium to enhance your future patron experience.
After 44 years, the UIS Performing Arts Center is planning for a well-earned refresh. But we need YOUR help to make this a reality...new seats, new carpet, expanded wheelchair accessible spaces, updated surface, and improved equipment can create an even better experience for every audience member.
With your help, when the curtain rises again in Fall 2026, patrons will return to the performances they love in a revitalized venue.
Your gift will set the stage for the 2nd Act. !
We've reached $415,000. Thanks to your support, we're on our way to our $1.25 million goal鈥攍et鈥檚 keep going!
