Box Office Performances
The Box Office handles ticketing for most events that take place in the three Nazarian Center performance spaces, Sapinsley Hall, The Forman Theatre, and the Auditorium in Roberts Hall. These include music concerts, plays, and dance shows presented by RIC's Music, Theatre, and Dance department as well as some performances and events produced by outside groups such as local dance studio recitals and holiday shows.
Please note: Some events are not available through the box office. Admission may be free or use online registration or other means. If you do not find the event you are looking for through the box office, you may find it in our listing of all campus events with info on how to attend.
Info on admission to athletic events can be found at our athletics website.
