The curtain first rose on Sangamon Auditorium in 1981. Now, after 40+ years of unforgettable performances, it’s time for a well-deserved intermission.
The UIS Performing Arts Center is getting a well-earned refresh. New seats, updated surfaces, and improved equipment will create an even better experience for every audience member. When the curtain rises again in Fall 2026, patrons will return to the performances they love in a revitalized venue.
