Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of some Bradley University supporters, most notably the late Mabel Dingeldine (class of 1914), the University’s music center is a reality. The Eleanor Sikes Peters Recital Hall with 440 seats is used for Chamber Orchestra, Chorale, Community Chorus, recitals, Jazz Band, Symphonic Band, and Symphonic Winds. Six practice rooms are also available. For information concerning use, call ext. 2595.

Cultural Events Box Office Phone: ext. 2650
In 1908 Lydia Moss Bradley presented as a gift to the institution a new structure to be used as a physical education facility. In 1978 that same beautiful structure, through the generosity of a number of friends of the University, was renovated and rededicated as the Hartmann Center for the Performing Arts. The Meyer Jacobs Theatre with an audience capacity of 280 offers a large flexible stage and computerized lighting system.
The Bradley University Theatre presents a season of plays and musicals each year which offers students opportunities in all areas of performance and production. Casts and crews are open to all students at the University.
The Box Office accepts Bradley Quick Cash, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, checks and cash. For more information visit our website at theatre.bradley.edu.
