Performing Arts Series

Live In-Person Events Canceled through the Spring 2020 Semester
While we continue to advance our students' academic progress, we must do our part to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus: All live, in-person Bryn Mawr College Arts Program events on the Bryn Mawr and Haverford College campuses are canceled through the end of the spring 2020 semester. 

Our faculty and students continue to create, learn, and grow together in a remote learning environment. We will share any details on virtual experiences, rescheduled dates for canceled events, and events in future seasons, as soon as details are available.

Providing talks and workshops free to the public to develop arts awareness and literacy, the Bryn Mawr College Performing Arts Series has partnered in recent seasons with such organizations as the Barnes Foundation, Pennsylvania Ballet, Bryn Mawr Film Institute, and FringeArts.
