Directions

The University Theatre Ticket Office, The Crafton-Preyer Theatre and the William Inge Memorial Theatre are located inside Murphy Hall, 1530 Naismith Drive, on the KU Campus in Lawrence, Kansas. Murphy Hall has a circle drive at its main entrance. The main entrance is a row of nine glass doors. Through the glass doors and to the left is the University Theatre Ticket Office and to the right is the Crafton-Preyer Theatre. Straight ahead, up the ramp, then to the right and down a long hallway is the William Inge Memorial Theatre, at the end of the hall on the right.

From I-70 (also known as the Kansas Turnpike) Take the West Lawrence exit (#202). After passing through the tollbooth, continue straight ahead (south) on what becomes Iowa Street (Highway 59) until you reach 15th Street (stoplight, large dormitories on the left). Turn left (east) onto 15th Street. At Naismith Drive (four way stop), turn right. This immediately takes you along the west side of Murphy Hall, which is the main entrance.

From K-10. Heading west on K-10 from the Kansas City area, K-10 turns into 23rd Street as you approach Lawrence. Stay on 23rd Street until you reach Naismith Drive (stoplight, Burger King is on the left). Turn right (north) onto Naismith Drive. The road is a divided boulevard. Once you come to the end of the divided road, Murphy Hall is directly ahead. Turn left at the stop sign. Road (still called Naismith) curves right and immediately takes you along the west side of Murphy Hall, which is the main entrance.
