General Rules:

Items not allowed - cameras and electronic recording devices

While the Ferguson Center does not have a policy
prohibiting cameras, many artists do. When an
artist requests a "no camera" policy, our staff is legally required to enforce this on behalf of the artist. When in doubt, call the Ferguson Center Ticket Office at (757) 594-8752 prior to the performance or ask the House Manager on the
evening of the event. The use of video or sound
recording devices is prohibited.

Smoking Policy - Ferguson Center for the Arts is a non-smoking facility. Smoking is permitted in designated outdoor areas.

Children Rules:

With the exception of Family Series events, all
persons regardless of age must have a ticket for
admittance into the theatre. Please carefully
consider whether a performance is appropriate for
children before planning to attend. Should a child be unable to sit quietly in his/her seat throughout a perfromance, our ushers will request that the child be removed from the theatre.

For Family Series events, children age one year and younger may be admitted to the theatre without a ticket, provided that they sit on an adult's lap and do not occupy a seat.

Please note that rental events not affiliated with the Ferguson Center may have a different Lap Seat Policy. If you have questions regarding our policy or the appropriateness of a particular performance, please call the Ferguson Center Ticket Office at
