FAQs

Is there a dress code for presentations?

The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center does not have a dress code. Patrons are encouraged to wear comfortable, business casual clothing. You may also wish to dress formally for opening nights and special events.

What happens if I'm late for a performance?

Late arrivals must wait in the lobby until they can be seated at a time that has been pre-arranged with the performers. This usually takes from 5 to 30 minutes depending on the performance. For this reason, visitors are encouraged to arrive before the show begins.
