H. Ric Luhrs Performing Arts Center

Since opening its doors in 2005, the Luhrs Performing Arts Center has brought world-class entertainment to Shippensburg University and the surrounding region—enriching campus life, inspiring audiences, and strengthening the cultural fabric of the Cumberland Valley.

Beyond the stage, Luhrs plays a vital role in the local economy and serves as a dynamic learning space for Ship students, offering hands-on experience in arts management, production, and hospitality.
