Plan to arrive 30–45 minutes before showtime to park, pick up concessions, and get comfortably seated — especially for popular events and school productions that draw big community crowds. The campus setting is straightforward, and signage toward the theater entrance on Millwood helps guide you in quickly.

Because it’s an indoor venue, weather won’t affect your time inside; however, if you’re walking from Caltrain (about 1 mile), consider bringing a light layer for cool evenings.
