Events Calendar

Here's the schedule of our Spring 2025 events.*
Please join us for another exciting semester of Dance, Music, and Theatre performances, Art Gallery exhibitions, and the Auteur Film Series.

There is no cost to attend these performances. However...
because seating is very limited in the Black Box Theatre and Alt Lab Theatre we strongly recommend
making reservations for performances in those venues (click the underlined title of the performance you wish to attend to make your free reservation).

Event titles without an underline do not require a reservation.
There is no reserved seating. Patrons will be seated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Please arrive no later than 10 minutes prior to each performance.
Unclaimed seats will be released 10 minutes prior to each performance.

Please note that due to renovations beginning in April to the John Anthony Theatre, Fine Arts performance events will happen in a variety of different locations –
Plano Campus (The Art Gallery, Black Box Theatre, B148, C103, and the Living Legends Conference Center), and the Wylie Campus Conference Center.

We strongly recommend that you review the maps (links below) and allow yourself sufficient time to get to campus, find a parking spot, make your way to the correct venue, and be seated before the performance starts.

* Event dates and details are subject to change.

Unless otherwise indicated all events are at the Collin College Plano Campus.
