FAQ's & Policies

Arrive Early

We recommend that you arrive at least 30 minutes prior to event time. Events start promptly at the published time. If you arrive late, you and your party will be seated at an appropriate pause in the program or at intermission. For events without an intermission, you will be seated at an appropriate interval at the discretion of the house manager; in some situations, this can mean being given an alternate seat for the entirety of the event.

Bringing Children to Events

All patrons must be ticketed, regardless of age. We strongly request that parents determine if their child can sit quietly for the duration of the performance. If you do find yourself with a restless young one, the lobby has multiple monitors on which parents can watch the event.
