Performing Arts and Lecture Series
Inspiring Students Through the Arts
At 51³Ô¹Ï, we believe that education goes beyond the boundaries of textbooks and lectures. We understand the importance of nurturing a vibrant campus community, and in doing so, we explore and celebrate the arts through our Performing Arts and Lecture Series (PALS) for students. Through the PALS program, we showcase a variety of art forms for students to gain a deeper appreciation for diverse cultures and traditions.
Students can receive their free tickets at the box office in the School of Theatre Building.
