Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before your performance. This window allows time to navigate campus lots, pass through security screening, and settle in ahead of curtain. If you’re using the subway, factor in a brief walk from Bedford Park Blvd stations.

Although it’s an indoor venue and weather won’t affect performances, it can influence your arrival. If rain is in the forecast, consider rideshare or allow extra time for parking and walking. Coat check is available in the lobby, so you can enjoy the show without carrying extra layers.

For drivers, early arrival helps you secure on-site parking and avoid campus congestion. If you’re meeting a group, choose a simple rendezvous point like the lobby’s event information desk or a visible art display — then head to your seats together to keep things smooth and stress-free.

Venue Navigation

The hall’s layout is straightforward — Orchestra on the main level, with Mezzanine and Balcony above, all connected by elevators and ramps for easy access. Signage is clear, and staff can direct you to your section quickly.

You’ll find concession stands for snacks, beverages, and light fare, plus restrooms, ATMs, and a coat check. Merchandise tables are available during select performances, and the lobby’s contemporary art displays make for great pre- and post-show conversation. If you plan to explore the lobby or move between levels, comfortable footwear makes the short walks easier.

Pre-Event Planning

Build time into your evening to explore the venue’s modern lobby and art installations — it’s a welcoming space to meet up, take photos, and soak in the atmosphere before the lights go down. If you prefer a quick bite or drink on-site, concessions offer snacks and beverages so you can head to your seats right on time.

For groups, designate a clear meeting spot like the event information desk or a specific lobby art piece. Once inside, confirm your section, row, and seats together — it’s especially helpful if some of your party is seated in the Mezzanine or Balcony. And if you want a smooth exit, note the nearest staircase or elevator to your section before the show starts.
