Edwards Auditorium

Edwards Auditorium is one of the many performance venues at the University of Rhode Island. Guest speakers, musicians, dancers, and presentations take place in this moderately sized auditorium. The building has recently undergone improvements, so seats are more comfortable, bathrooms more accessible, and overall appearance is sharp.
I love this auditorium because every event I have ever been to has seemed intimate. You aren’t in a gym, or a sporting arena. You can actually see the person on stage, and become easily transported to their world. The audio system is fantastic, so you won’t miss a word, nor a note.
Events take place almost every weekend, and most are open to the public.
I shy from giving this venue 5 stars because it does not have the best parking. If you are a student, one either walks, or knows the secret safe parking lots. If this is your first time to URI or to Edwards Auditorium, you have to search for open lots along Upper College Road. I would plan on giving yourself an extra 15 minutes to search, park, and then walk to the auditorium!
