Share

Actor and comedian Jay Pharoah will take the stage in the College of Fine Arts and Communication (COFAC) Recital Hall at 7 p.m. on Sunday, March 23.

Pharoah is one of the industry’s most highly-anticipated leading men. Best known for his spot-on impressions, Pharoah spent six seasons as a cast member on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.” In 2017, he shifted to his first leading role as Floyd Mooney in Showtime’s “White Famous,” which was executive produced by Academy Award-winner Jaime Foxx and inspired by Foxx’s real-life experiences.

The recommended audience age is 16 and older.

General admission tickets are $25 and $20 for seniors. Admission is open free for WIU students with ID.

Tickets can be purchased at the WIU Box Office in Hainline Theatre, by calling (309) 298-2900, or by visiting westernpresents.com.
