What Lincoln Center is to New York and Kennedy Center is to Washington D.C., Krannert Center is to the Midwest - a magnificent showcase for the performing arts.  This professional laboratory for the University of Illinois dance, theatre, opera and music departments hosts internationally famous artists such as Ravi Shankar, Emmy Lou Harris, Herbie Hancock, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Mark Morris Dance Group.  The Promenade gift shop, Intermezzo cafe, and Ticket Office can be found in the vast lobby connecting the four main theatres.
