About Jorgensen Center
The Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts is the premier multi-venue cultural hub on the University of Connecticut campus in Storrs. With a main auditorium seating about 2,300 and the Harriet S. Jorgensen Theatre seating 485, this public performing arts center hosts a wide range of performances—from classic strings and chamber music by the Lenard Series to historic visits by legendary artists. Whether you’re catching a concert, a play, or a special event, we’ve got you covered with practical details to secure your seats with ease.
Explore two main performance spaces, plus the Jorgensen Gallery, and plan your visit with parking, transit, and nearby lodging and dining options. We’ll help you find the right seating, navigate campus parking, and book comfortable stays nearby.
Seating charts are available on the official Tickets & Information page, and parking is gateless starting about one hour before showtime with charges included in your Jorgensen ticket. The Nash-Zimmer Transportation Center serves as the campus transit hub, with CTtransit and UConn shuttles connecting to Downtown Storrs and surrounding areas. Nearby hotel options include Graduate Storrs (on Bolton Road) and The Inn on Storrs (Storrs Road), with Graduate frequently highlighted in partner promotions. For a complete live experience, keep an eye on the Lenard Chamber Music Series and other intimate performances that leverage the thrust-stage setup in the Lenard Series venues, alongside larger-capacity shows in the main auditorium.
Browse upcoming events, secure your seats, and plan your visit to Jorgensen Center—where accessible parking, reliable public transport, and convenient on-campus and nearby lodging come together for a smooth experience.
