Nazareth’s fall 2020 plans are guided by our core values to provide the highest quality educational experience to our students and ensure the health and safety of our College community and the wider community. We are following state mandates as we innovate and adapt to continue enabling and preparing students to pursue their life’s work and to make a difference in the world.

Nazareth’s plans to transition back to on-campus operations are guided by the expertise of health and safety agencies and are subject to the updated guidance from the state and federal government. Details continue to be finalized, and will be shared progressively on these webpages.

As we have prioritized the academic needs of our Nazareth students for their return to campus this fall, and as we await re-opening guidance from the Governor's office on the requirements for indoor performing arts activities, we have made the decision to postpone the start of our 2020-2021 season.

We have determined that there will be no professional performance activities with public audiences at the Arts Center for the duration of the fall academic term (August 17 - November 24).

We are hopeful that our planned December programming of Garth Fagan Dance, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra's Sunday Matinee Series performance, and The Capitol Steps can continue; however, that has not yet been determined.

We will miss seeing our theaters filled this fall but look forward to once again safely gathering to experience incredible live performance at the Arts Center. 

The Arts Center Box Office remains closed. We will alert our patrons when we resume normal box office operations, once shows are announced and tickets are on-sale.

If you have ticket-related questions, email artscenter@naz.edu or call 585-389-2172. Please be patient as our response time to both email and voicemail has increased while our staff works remotely.
