at your performances?

Q: Who performs at the Modlin Center?
A: We want our audiences to have deeper artistic experiences than just
a typical performance. We welcome popular artists if they can provide unusual
programs and if they enjoy developing connections with our students and the
larger community on and off-campus. Our programming reflects our desire to provide
you with choices you won’t have on stages elsewhere—because we feel you deserve
more than a cookie-cutter experience.

here, and many people who come here are trying things out for the first time.
