Irvin L. Young Auditorium

Located on the University of Wisconsin - Whitewater, the Young Auditorium was built to serve as a major regional, cultural, and educational center, to be a resource for professional performing arts, and to enrich the lives of the citizens in this area.

Young Auditorium will provide the university students and all citizens of this area with a facility in which to experience a wide variety of events, including the best in professional performing groups, Continuing Education offerings, lecture presentations, student performing arts, conference, and community activities. Programming will reflect a commitment to artistic excellence, enhancement of student life, community cultural growth, a variety of art forms, and culturally diverse presentations.

Young Auditorium will be accessible and serve all segments of this varied community from elementary students through senior citizens, including those who are physically challenged, developmentally disabled, and economically distressed. A partnership with area school districts will serve school children. The complex will provide an arena for outreach between the university and community at large.

Young Auditorium will work to identify the educational, cultural, and social needs of the region and offer programs and activities that meet these needs.
