Plan to arrive at least one hour before the time shown on your ticket. This allows for plenty of time for you to pick up your tickets at the box office, find your seat and place your drink order for the intermission as well as allows for unexpected transportation delays. Patrons are asked to arrive between 6:00 and 7:00 pm for performances beginning at 7:30 pm and between 12:30 and 1:30 pm for performances starting at 2:00 pm to allow enough time for front of house staff to check documents and tickets.
