UA Presents bring several shows to the Tucson area when school at the University of Arizona in session. Several past acts include Broadway shows (Oliver, Hairspray, Cookin, Wonderful Town); live music 9 (Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, Bobby McFerrin and Al Di Meola and Manuel Barrueco); dance performances (Miami City Ballet, Momix, Paul Taylor Dance Company, Beijing Modern Dance Company). The company itself has had some problems with low attendance to shows and has had to cut some shows from its upcoming season. The shows and acts that do come are always top notch thought. Centennial Hall is a great venue, easy to see from every seat, has been there for a long time, and is ever rumored to have a ghost! It is located just inside the main gate of the UA. The only setback I would say are the ticket prices, which may be contributing to the loss of ticket sales. They do have discounts for people that work at the UA and students.
