Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts

2132 Hillside Road

Storrs, CT 06269

Located on the University of Connecticut campus in Storrs Mansfield, the venue sits approximately 25 miles east of Hartford, CT, making it an easy cultural outing from the capital region.

• Parking: On-site parking is available in nearby university lots and garages, often free or included with your ticket for evening events. Lots can fill quickly during major performances, so early arrival is recommended.
• Public Transit: Limited public transit options are available. UConn campus shuttles serve the area, and regional bus service connects to Hartford and Willimantic.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are located near the main entrance on Hillside Road.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before showtime. This window gives you time to find parking, move through the lobby at a relaxed pace, and explore exhibits or concessions before the curtain rises. Because parking can fill quickly during major performances, early arrival is the best way to start your night stress-free.

Jorgensen Center is an indoor venue, so weather won’t affect the show itself, but it can impact your drive and walk from the lot. Give yourself extra time in inclement weather and follow campus signage to the closest available parking. Elevation changes are minimal and the walk from parking to the entrance is short, which makes arrival straightforward.

If you’re using public transit, confirm campus shuttle routes and regional bus schedules in advance. For rideshare, plan your pickup and dropoff on Hillside Road near the main entrance. Cell service is generally reliable, though it can be spotty in lower auditorium levels — download your tickets ahead of time for faster entry.

Make the most of your visit by arriving early to enjoy the lobby’s rotating art exhibits and occasional pre-show talks — they’re part of what makes a night at Jorgensen Center feel special. If you’re meeting a group, the lobby is an easy rendezvous point before heading to your seats.

Dining before the show is simple thanks to nearby Storrs Center, which offers a range of casual and sit-down options within a short drive.
