Tickets can be purchased online at smc.edu/tickets or by phone at 310-434-4165 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. Tickets purchased on performance weekends at the Theatre Arts building box office will be $3 higher. Parking is free, and additional information on transportation and directions is available at smc.edu/transportation.
