About Arthur Miller Theatre

The Arthur Miller Theatre is a versatile performance venue within the Walgreen Drama Center on the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor. With a capacity around 250 seats (some sources note 270), this flexible space can operate as proscenium or thrust, adapting to each production. The theatre hosts University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance (SMTD) performances, contemporary SMTD productions, and community programs. Most seating is general admission, and the space can be configured for end-stage or thrust stage layouts. Below you’ll find practical details to help you secure your seats and plan a visit.

Parking behind Walgreen Drama Center (Lot NC27) is common for events, with additional lots NC43 and NC10 recommended. Expect event parking around the best available price, though construction in the area can reduce available spaces. The University of Michigan bus system offers free rides for UM students and staff, with routes like the Blue Line serving central and north campus areas for easy transit to the venue. For those staying nearby, consider walking options to local hotels such as Graduate Ann Arbor and Bell Tower Hotel, both within a short stroll of the campus. We’ve highlighted affiliate hotel and restaurant options below to help you plan conveniently.
