Most spring events available to University Park students for $5 per ticket

Thanks to a grant from the University Park Student Fee Board, Penn State students can cross “see a live performing arts event” off their bucket lists. Tickets to the remainder of the events in the Center for the Performing Arts spring season, except for touring Broadway’s “Hairspray,” will be $5 each for University Park students. Tickets are available online, by phone at 814-863-0255, or in person at Eisenhower Auditorium from noon to 4 p.m. weekdays. A grant from the University Park Student Fee Board makes Penn State student prices possible. Tickets will be $5 per student to attend these presentations at Eisenhower Auditorium:
