Show History

UIS Performing Arts Center (Sangamon Auditorium) opened its doors on February 21, 1981, and has since hosted thousands of performances and events.

Some have been public events; some have been private meetings; some have been children’s shows; and some have been for university students, graduates, and their family and friends. In addition to the many performance events, the UIS PAC has hosted debates and inaugurations. In all, over two million people have ventured to UIS Performing Arts Center from Illinois and beyond. We invite you to look back at highlights of the major events presented and hosted by the UIS PAC.
