The Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts has booked a wide variety of national and international artists for the coming year. The Center Presents Season sponsored by Allied Solutions includes more than 70 events in the usual range of genres.

Whether its a soaring symphony inside the 1,600 seat Payne & Mencias Palladium concert hall or a more intimate performance at the Studio or Tarkington, there's a show for you on this year's schedule.

Accessibility improvements on the Allied Solutions Center campus over the past year have included doubling the number of accessible parking spaces, including five new van-accessible spaces for groups. Handrails have been installed in the stair-step aisles of the Tarkington theater, which also features new LED stage lighting. The website at TheCenterPresents.org – the only authorized online source for tickets to our venues – has been enhanced with the UserWay widget to give viewers more control over the experience.

At the Payne & Mencias Palladium, touchless automatic door openers have been installed in restrooms, and a new Auracast assistive-listening system sponsored by Professional Hearing Services improves clarity and flexibility for the hard of hearing. 

The Palladium also remains a certified Sensory Inclusive™ venue through KultureCity, with trained staff who are ready to support guests with sensory needs.
