The Square

Join us—and your neighbors, your colleagues, and your soon-to-be friends from across the street or across the country—here at the crossroads, for music in full color, for theatre in life’s context, for dance in all its dimensions—for understanding, wonder, and joy. You can eat, drink, be merry, shop—and a whole lot more!

Of course Krannert Center offers plenty of performances (more than 300 each year, not that we’re counting or anything), but more important is that we offer plenty of experiences. We’re just off the Quad, just off Lincoln Avenue, just off Kirby Avenue—just close enough to be convenient and just far enough out to be a respite. You can plug in by meeting colleagues in the voluminous Lobby, by tapping into our free wifi, and by heading to a show. Or you can unplug by hiding out at a table just off Stage 5, sitting out in the Amphitheatre, or . . . by heading to a show (we have plenty of acoustic options). You can take a free tour or grab a snack or just wander around downstairs to get a snippet from an upcoming musical act or a glimpse of the props for the next play. We have meeting space, study space, dining space, and just plain old space for you to stretch out in. Come on over.
