Popejoy Schooltime Series - Always new worlds to explore

HOUSE POLICIES

Popejoy Hall seating

Seating

  • Pay Together, Arrive Together, Sit Together
    • Orchestra section seating will be assigned to those who pay earliest.
    • Seating within each section is on a first-come, first-seated basis.
    • Groups must pay together to be assigned to the same section and enter the hall together to sit together.
  • Once your complete group has arrived, please check in with an usher prior to entering the building.
    • Look for the sign outside and wait for an usher to escort your group into the lobby.
    • If you choose to use restrooms prior to seating, the entire group must be reassembled before you enter the hall. This may change your place in line.
    • Have your admission ticket clearly visible at the front of your group.
  • An usher will take your admission ticket and escort you to the next step of check-in.
  • If schools have several classes attending, they do not have to wait for the others to be seated.
    • At house discretion, where we have a wide range of grades at one performance, we may place older students behind younger ones within designated sections.
  • All groups, regardless of size, are asked to fill in every empty seat.
    • Schooltime shows are often sold out, which means we cannot leave any empty seats.
    • We work with very tight time constraints to seat everyone in time for the performance.
    • We will do our best to keep small groups together but there are no special sections except for ADA special needs.
    • You do not have your choice of seats.
    • If there is a concern, contact an usher. Please do not re-seat yourselves.
  • We ask adults and taller patrons to please be aware of smaller children behind them and to adjust accordingly.
