Performance Venues

PAC Priority Spaces

Student groups who are part of Penn’s Performing Arts Council (PAC) may receive prioritized access to the certain campus venues for their performance bookings. This prioritization does not extend across all dates or times. PAC groups must request performance dates and venues via the Space Allocation process, which takes place during the Summer (for the Fall Semester) and Fall (for the Spring semester).
