PAGE AUDITORIUM  

Page Auditorium

 
Built in 1931, Page Auditorium is one of the oldest landmarks on Duke's West Campus. Located adjacent to Duke Chapel and connected to the Flowers Building and Brodhead Center, this historic venue offers seating across two levels—the orchestra and balcony—with a total capacity of 1,170. The orchestra level is fully accessible through a lower entrance from Bryan Center Plaza and the traffic circle, while the balcony is accessible by stairs only. Following a renovation in 2015, a small exhibit featuring one of the original 1952 Carbon Arc spotlights is on display in Hanks Lobby just outside Reynolds Industries Theater celebrating the auditorium's storied past.
The Page Auditorium Box Office opens one hour before each performance and is located on the venues upper level, adjacent to Chapel Quad. The main location for the Duke University Box Office is on the top level of the Bryan Center, and it is open Tuesday through Friday from 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM.
