• Rideshare & Dropoff: While there isn’t a designated rideshare zone, convenient drop-off is possible at the main entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

To make the most of your evening, plan to arrive 45–60 minutes before showtime. On-site campus parking is typically a breeze, but a little extra time helps you find your spot, take a short walk to the entrance, and locate your seats without rushing. It also gives you a chance to enjoy the venue’s spacious lobby and rotating art displays before the performance begins.

Since the Brownstone Center is an indoor venue, weather won’t impact the show experience. That said, it’s still smart to check local conditions for your drive and allow a few extra minutes if it’s raining or there’s game-day traffic on campus.

Public transit is limited in Poplarville, so driving or carpooling is the best option for most guests. If you’re using rideshare, arrange your pickup near the main entrance and coordinate a clear meeting point after the show. Guests using balcony seating should allow a few additional minutes for stairs; accessible ramps serve the main seating areas.

Venue Navigation

The Brownstone Center features a traditional theater layout with orchestra seating on the main level and a balcony above. The lobby is spacious and well-suited for pre-show gatherings, intermission chats, and viewing art displays that frequently highlight local and campus talent.

You’ll find concessions offering snacks and beverages during events, along with restrooms and accessible facilities. Merchandise stands may be available for select performances. If your tickets are in the balcony, be prepared for a short stair climb; comfortable footwear makes moving between levels easier.

Pre-Event Planning

Make it a stress-free night by planning a simple meetup in the Brownstone Center’s spacious lobby. It’s a convenient spot to gather your group, enjoy the art displays, and review the program before the performance begins. If you’re coordinating with friends, share seat locations in advance so everyone knows where to go once doors open.
