Venue Information

The building of the H. Ric Luhrs Performing Arts Center, was one of the high priority facilities in Navigating into the Future Campaign and was the vision of Tony Ceddia (SU president, 1981-2005)for more than a decade. Based upon extensive analysis and careful planning, the design of the new Center was developed to nurture creativity and enhance teaching at Shippensburg University. 

A special attribute of the Luhrs Center is its scale. The Center's 1,500-seat theatre expands, by two and one-half times, the number of people who can attend programs and performances on campus. This makes it possible for professional touring companies to visit the campus, bringing the best of the stage to the Center. The artistic facilities and teaching areas of the Center stimulates creativity and, most importantly, addresses the issue of “no space, no place" that has been a problem for decades.
