Lobby Activities:
Before some events for family audiences, we provide free pre-show activities for children. Often, community groups will participate and lead activities that are related to themes in the show.
Partnerships:
The UIS Performing Arts Center is happy to work with local organizations to plan special activities. In recent years we have worked with the Girl Scouts of Central Illinois to create custom interactive pre-show learning experiences.
Angel Tickets:
Through our Angel Ticket program, local non-profi¬t social service organizations are given tickets they can distribute to the people they serve who would normally be unable to attend our events due to their social or ¬financial situation.
In 2019/2020, a total of 229 tickets were donated to 13 organizations.
To inquire about Angel tickets for your organization, contact Carly Shank at carmi1@uis.edu.
Fundraising Donations:
To help support the efforts of non-pro¬fit organizations in our community, we regularly give away tickets for use in fundraising activities.
In 2019/2020 a total of 100 tickets were donated to 42 organizations.
To inquire about donated tickets for your organization, contact Carly Shank at carmi1@uis.edu.
For more information about any of these activities, or if you have an idea for working with the UIS Performing Arts Center, please contact Carly Shank at (217) 206-8286 or carmi1@uis.edu.
