F. M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts
Best time to visit
Evening performances from fall through spring offer the most touring shows and lively atmosphere; check the event calendar for Broadway and headliner dates. For quieter visits and better photo opportunities, pick a weekend matinee and arrive 30-45 minutes before curtain.
Budget tips
Ticket prices vary by show, commonly $20 to $80 with premium seats higher; check the Kirby Center box office for lower fees compared with third-party sellers. Sign up for the venue newsletter, look for student and senior discounts, and watch for day-of rush or matinee deals.

About
Brze činjenice: Step inside and you’ll notice an ornate lobby where painted ceilings and glittering chandeliers set a cinematic mood. Crowds pack the house for touring Broadway shows and indie concerts, with acoustics that make whispered lines and breathy violin solos feel immediate.
Istaknuto: Scarlet velvet curtains rustle underfoot and the midair hush before the first note makes chandeliers shimmer like low stars. Backstage, faded playbills pinned to a corkboard smell of paper and lamp oil, offering a tactile timeline that rewards quiet snoops.
Insider tips
- Wear smart casual and bring a light layer, the auditorium can run cool.
- Arrive 30-45 minutes before curtain to secure parking, snap photos of the marquee and lobby, and avoid long entry lines.
- Photos are fine in the lobby and near the marquee, but avoid flash and do not photograph during performances.
- Buy directly from the Kirby Center box office to save on service fees, and ask about student, senior, and group discounts.
