Pre-Event Planning
Arrive early to explore Williamsburg’s vibrant dining scene, then head to the bar inside National Sawdust for a pre-show drink. The venue’s modern, angular interior is part of the experience — give yourself a moment to take in the design and any immersive lighting or projections before the performance begins.

Use Ticket Purchase to coordinate seat types across your party and ensure everyone’s in the same area if the show features a mixed seating configuration.
If you’re attending a premiere or a composer showcase, keep an eye on the program notes and on-site merchandise. It’s not uncommon for National Sawdust events to feature new works, and you may have the chance to pick up releases or artist-specific items during select shows.
