Page Auditorium is 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.

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.

Accessible parking spaces are located in the Bryan Center Parking Lot and in Parking Garage 4, with a convenient drop-off area located in the Bryan Center Lot/Traffic Circle. Automatic door openers with remote control functions are installed at both the walkway and circle entrances.

An accessible pathway leads from the parking and drop-off areas to the orchestra level via a gently sloped sidewalk and ramped entrance. Please note, this is the only ADA-accessible entrance. The upper entrance from the Chapel Quad leads you to the balcony level of the building and the building has no elevator.

Accessible seating is offered at the orchestra level and can be purchased in advance. Page Auditorium is also equipped with a Listen Assist System, available from the House Manager at all events. Large print programs are also available upon request with advance notice. ASL services must be requested at least three weeks in advance.

To help us provide the best accommodation for your needs, please contact the Box Office in advance of your arrival at tickets@duke.edu or 919-684-4444.

Venue History

A recently renovated 1,170-seat auditorium, Page Auditorium is one of the oldest buildings on Duke’s West Campus. Built in 1931 in the Collegiate Gothic style, it faces Duke Chapel.

In 2015, Page’s acoustics, lighting, and seats were upgraded, and its seating was reconfigured to allow more legroom in the balcony. There is accessible seating on the orchestra level, along with accessible restrooms.

Duke Arts Presents programs large-scale concerts at Page Auditorium, featuring artists such as Anoushka Shankar, Gregory Porter, and Rhiannon Giddens.
