- PLAN AHEAD
- Design your own First Night! It’s impossible to see everything, so pick a few performances and plan back-up options, in case your first choice is full.
- GET AN EARLY START
- Admission to performances is first-come, first-served. Events begin at scheduled times and venues are cleared between performances. There is no reserved seating. Late admission is at the discretion of site management.
