Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes early. This gives you time to park, pass through security, and explore the mid-century modern lobby without rushing. Early arrival also helps you avoid pre-show lobby congestion and ensures you’re seated before the lights dim.

Because the Berglund Performing Arts Theatre is an indoor venue, weather isn’t a factor once you’re inside.

Public transit riders can take advantage of Valley Metro routes that stop within walking distance. If you’re using rideshare, head to the designated area near the main entrance for quick dropoff and pickup.
