• Rideshare & Dropoff: Rideshare pickup and dropoff are available near Butler Arts Center entrances for quick arrivals and departures.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 30–45 minutes before showtime. This gives you time to park in a visitor lot, pick up or scan your mobile tickets, and settle into the intimate space before the performance begins. Because the studio accommodates approximately 80 guests, arriving a little early helps you avoid lines and enjoy the calm before curtain.

Weather isn’t a factor — Lilly Hall Studio Theatre is fully indoors. You’ll find minimal walking from campus lots to the venue entrance, and accessible routes are available if needed. If you’re using IndyGo, check the schedule in advance and allow a few extra minutes to move between the nearest stop and the theatre.

If there’s a parking fee in effect for your event, having a cashless payment option ready can speed up entry. Rideshare is a smart choice if you prefer to skip parking entirely — just set your destination to the Butler Arts Center entrances for an efficient drop-off.

Venue Navigation

The studio’s black-box design means the room can be reconfigured for each production, with seating positioned to fit the creative vision — from thrust to three-quarter or other immersive layouts.
