Seating Policy for The Brown Center for the Arts

Our events in The Brown Center for the Arts and Black Box performing spaces are often at capacity! This is great news but also means that we need to be even more aware of theater etiquette in order to show optimal support to our student performers and to ensure every theater supporter is able to get a desired seat. For events in the Black Box and The Brown Center for the Arts we need you to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the show! Leaving blocks of unfilled seats is discouraging to our student performers and in many cases prohibits others from attending the performance. So, please be courteous, only reserve the seats you need, and arrive at least 15 minutes early. 

If you have ticket reservations using a membership benefit (Titan Club, Comp Tickets, Staff, or anything $0 on the ticket website) you need to arrive at least 15 minutes early to lock in your reservation and guarantee your seats! If reservations are not claimed at that point and the performance is sold out, or the front section is sparsely populated, the production leads may give those seats to waiting patrons. 

Please note that all late arrivals are disruptive to the performers and the audience around you. Latecomers will be (re)seated at the house manager's discretion, and if you arrive more than 15 minutes after the start of the show, there is a chance your seats will be released to others. We cannot offer refunds or exchanges for late arrivals or missed performances. 

if you know you aren't going to be able to use your reserved seats, or if you know you are running late, please call 719-488-6233 for the box office phone (we are unable to check voicemails on show evenings).
