HISTORY

The Performing Arts Building was officially dedicated on March 8, 1997. The first full season began in September 1997. Since then, thousands of patrons have attended events held in this beautiful facility.


In August 2003, the Performing Arts Building was officially renamed the James Lumber Center for the Performing Arts, recognizing trustee James Lumber, who served on the College of Lake County board for over 35 years. The James Lumber Center for the Performing Arts is a project of the College of Lake County Foundation.
