Our shows range from dancing and rock’n’roll to classical and singer-songwriters, so the norms may change per show. If you are not quite sure what to do, here is a good rule: go by what other concertgoers are doing. If they are clapping, singing and dancing then you should, too; but, if they are sitting quietly and listening intently to every sound then you probably should, too.

We recommend bags smaller than 14” x 14” however, exceptions can be made for bags containing medically-necessary items. Please note, any bag brought into the venue may be subject to search.
