Krannert Center for the Performing Arts at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign proudly announces the 2024-25 performance season, featuring an exciting mix of both emerging and world-class artists. Events from September to May showcase national and international performers and multiple GRAMMY award-winners, as well as university student performances in music, theatre, lyric theatre, and dance.

Farce, tragedy, and evenings of classic favorites will be included in Lyric Theatre @ Illinois’ 2023-24 season. Julie Gunn, Co-Director of Lyric Theatre since 2013, says the mission remains the same: give students the venue and opportunity to enchant the audience.

Two iconic performing arts venues in Champaign-Urbana, Krannert Center for the Performing Arts and the historic Virginia Theatre in downtown Champaign, will collaborate on two events this spring under the title “Krannert Center at The Virginia.” It is the first time the two venues have worked together this closely.
