Engagement Opportunities

CHAT AND CHEW

Chat & Chew events, held before selected performances throughout the year, give you the chance to meet and talk with artists in a small, informal setting. The $3 Chat & Chew tickets include admission, pizza and sodas; you can add Chat & Chew when you order your $9 student ticket, or purchase Chat & Chew separately during the Monday free ticket giveaway. Chat and Chew is only available for UMCP students. Seating is limited, so purchase your tickets today!

Receptions

The Center opens its doors to campus organizations this fall with a reception package. For $250, join us for an hour after a performance to socialize & enjoy light snacks in a sophisticated atmosphere. We will decorate the lounge to accommodate your party and provide trays of finger food & soft drinks. You need only to invite the guests and enjoy socializing with your friends and/or co-workers as part of an elegant evening at the Performing Arts Center. Please contact Marketing at claricesmithcenter@umd.edu or 301-405-4059.

Blogs

Many of the artists and pieces displayed at the Center are unusual or brand-new. Learn more about the creative process & gain insight into the works' meaning by reading the artists blogs. Or check out blogs by your fellow students, who have plenty to say about performances, life on campus and the world beyond.
