Reservation Information

Seat reservations for the current production can be made at www.bit.ly/reservehbb.

There is no charge to attend HBB events but donations of any amount are kindly accepted at the door. One-time and reocurring donations can also be made online through the LSU Foundation by searching for "performance studies area enhancement fund." 

Seating

The HBB is a fairly intimate space with chair-on-riser seating. Audience capacity ranges between 50-100 people, as determined by the director of each show. All seating is general, although accommodations are made for people who need or request them. Typically, we open theatre doors to the house 10 minutes before the start of each show. When attendance is heavy, patrons are admitted according to their ticket numbers, the lowest numbers first. As the director prefers, late arrivals may or may not be admitted to the theatre once the show starts.

Parking

There are parking lots directly adjacent to Coates Hall. For the Friday and Saturday night shows and the Sunday matinee, the lots are typically free of traffic and you'll find plenty of places to park. For the Wednesday and Thursday night shows, these same lots are busy and finding a place to park is more difficult. If the lots are full, we suggest you try the union parking lot located directly across the street from Coates Hall or additional spaces on Tower Drive.

To access Coates Hall by wheelchair, park in the north or south lots of Coates Hall.
