The Silver Center for the Arts is a beacon of creativity, culture, and community. From dazzling theater productions in the Hanaway Theatre to intimate recitals in the Smith Recital Hall, the Silver Center is a haven for artists, students, and audiences alike.
The Silver Center for the Arts
Since the Silver Center opened its doors in 1992, our mission has remained the same: to engage, educate, serve and support the students of Plymouth State University in the study, performance and appreciation of the performing arts. As the major performing arts center in central New Hampshire, the Silver Center also serves as an regional arts presenter in order to provide a rich, rewarding cultural experience for students, faculty, staff and the public at large by presenting guest artists whose work reflects the best in American and world cultures. We invite the community to join us for performances by students and faculty as well as professional guest artists.
