Performance Details

• Doors Open: The Herberger Theater will open its doors 30 minutes prior to the show.

• Showtime: Performances will start promptly. Parking/traffic can be difficult, so arrive way earlier than you think you need to.

• Arriving Late: If you are late, you need to wait until applause to enter the auditorium. Have your seat area memorized so you can get there quickly during the blackout. Walking in during a dance number is very inappropriate. Do not be rude and block other’s view of their children’s dance. Dancers work all year to be on stage for 2 minutes, so please don’t be that person who ruins that 2-minutes for their family! COME EARLY!

• Duration: The showcase will run approximately 90 minutes, with a 10-minute intermission.

• Parking: Please go to the Herberger Theater Center page to learn about their recommended parking garages. Most parking is paid. Please plan accordingly to ensure a timely arrival.

• Entrance: Parents and guests should enter through the main doors of the Herberger Theater Center.
