To Enlighten • To Entertain • To Educate
James W. Miller Auditorium is located on the campus of Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo and is the premier performing arts venue in West Michigan. We are dedicated to strengthening the cultural life of West Michigan, engaging with our community through outreach and the magic of live theatre.
At Miller Auditorium’s grand opening celebration in 1968, Western Michigan University president James W. Miller promised that the new building would present the performing arts "not as culture for culture's sake, but for the enrichment of the lives of our students, our faculty and our friends in the community."
Our state-of-the-art facility is host to entertainment of all kinds: touring productions straight from Broadway, live concerts, comedy events, family shows, and more. Our dedication to community outreach and education runs deep. When you see a show at Miller, know that you are supporting these goals. (Want to help even more? Consider becoming a Friend of Miller.)
