Performing Arts and Lecture Series

Inspiring Students Through the Arts

At North Greenville University, we believe that education goes beyond the boundaries of textbooks and lectures. We understand the importance of nurturing a vibrant campus community, and in doing so, we explore and celebrate the arts through our Performing Arts and Lecture Series (PALS) for students. Through the PALS program, we showcase a variety of art forms for students to gain a deeper appreciation for diverse cultures and traditions.

Students can receive their free tickets at the box office in the School of Theatre Building.
