Wright Auditorium

Wright Auditorium is a multi-use facility operated by ECU’s Division of Academic and Student Affairs. The structure entered service in 1937 and has been renovated twice, most recently in 1981. The College of Fine Arts and Communication is a major tenant, producing series and events including the S. Rudolph Alexander Performing Arts Series, Family Fare, Arts Smart, Dance@Wright, ECU Symphony Orchestra, Bandorama, the Billy Taylor Jazz Festival and more.
