Late Seating: Late seating breaks usually occur after the first piece on the program or at intermission to minimize disturbances to other audience members and those performing on stage. Late patrons will be seated at appropriate breaks at the discretion of the house management staff.
No Smoking: All public spaces in HPC are smoke-free.
