| Theatre opening & performance start times | ||||||||||||||
|
Most evening performances held at the Centre commence at 8:00pm, however this does vary and we recommend that you read your ticket or the performance information carefully to be sure you dont miss the start.
The time printed on the ticket or displayed in performance
information is the time that the performance actually
commences. Most artists request that latecomers
only be admitted at a suitable break in the program,
which may not be until interval. To avoid missing
the performance or inconveniencing the artists and
audience members we advise patrons to be at the
theatre at least 20 minutes prior to the start time.
