Photography Policy

Last Updated: Friday, April 24, 2026

Photography within the theater is permitted by advance arrangement and subject to the following guidelines:

Theater Photography Sessions
Photography sessions in the theater and inner lobby are available for a fee of $400, plus a Certificate of Insurance (COI). This includes up to 90 minutes of access. A member of the technical crew will be required on-site during the session and can assist with basic stage lighting as needed. Lighting that is more complex than a general wash and other technical requests are subject to approval by the Technical Manager and additional fees will apply.

Access is limited to the theater and inner lobby areas only. Dressing rooms, backstage areas, and other restricted spaces are not available for photography use.

Facility Use
Restrooms located in the lobby may be used as intended; however, they may not be used as dressing rooms or makeup stations. Any use beyond standard restroom purposes may result in an additional cleaning fee to ensure the space is restored for public use.

Lobby Photography
Photography in the outer lobby is permitted at no charge, provided no additional lighting or equipment is set up and without disrupting business at the box office or access through the lobby into the theater.

Scheduling
All photography sessions must be scheduled in advance and coordinated with theater staff to ensure availability and avoid conflicts with scheduled events.

Professional Photography Shoots
For video, film, fashion, or commercial photography shoots, please complete a rental inquiry form and we will be in contact to discuss. To access this form and for more information regarding rentals, please visit this page.
