Pullo Center


The Pullo Center is located in York, Pennsylvania, United States, on the Penn State York campus. The theatre has approximately 1,000 seats and hosts performances from concert to Broadway to comedy. The center can be rented for community functions. Organizations using it have included the York Youth Symphony Orchestra, York Junior Symphony, Dreamwrights, and Spring Garden Band.
In addition to housing the theatre, the building is home to Penn State York's Lee R. Glatfelter Library. In the atrium, just outside the main entrances to the library and theatre, is the Bistro at Penn State York. Classrooms on the lower level round out the contents of The Pullo Center. These classrooms are used by faculty and students throughout the year as additional classroom space on Penn State York's campus.
