Insider tips

Check the official website's calendar in advance as the venue often hosts private school events that close it to the public.

Arrive early to locate parking in the surrounding streets, as the central location can be busy during show nights.

Bring a light sweater, as the internal climate control is often set to a cool temperature.

What to avoid

Do not expect parking directly at the entrance, as the street is often congested and limited; avoid relying on finding street-side spots immediately before showtime.

Good to know

Operations often align with the academic calendar; performances are subject to change based on school events.

Etiquette

Smart casual; silence electronic devices; avoid late entry once the performance has commenced.
