Patrons will come to the box office outside the main lobby doors and will present a valid ID to pick up Will Call tickets. Please contact the presenting organization for clarification on particular events.

Soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, water, popcorn, and a variety of candy are available for purchase in the Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center lobby. Food and drink are allowed in the theater. The concessions are CASH ONLY. ATM’s are available across the street in the lobby of the Frederick, down the street at Chase Bank and at Pullman Square.

There is no dress code for events held at the Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center. Typically our patrons dress from casual to business casual for our performances. Your comfort is our upmost concern. Some patrons do enjoy dressing up, while others come in business attire, school attire, or whatever is comfortable. 

A few recommendations:

• We do recommend bringing a light jacket because the theater can be chilly to some patrons. 
• We do not offer a coat check for our events. 
• We recommend shoes that can easily navigate stairs, carpet, and slight inclines. 

If you have misplaced something at the Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center, please call 304. 696. 3326. The staff at our partner organization, the Marshall Artists Series, will be happy to assist you in retrieving your missing item. Their business hours are Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm. 

Every person that comes into the Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center must have a ticket for entry. In case of emergency, the building uses the “ticket count” to ensure that all patrons have been safely escorted from the building. Furthermore, to ensure the comfort of our patrons we ask that all children and babies have their own seat for the duration of the performance. 

The Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center does not issue information regarding suitability for children. We leave that decision up to the parent of the child attending the performance. Presenting organizations have the desecration to issue suitability warnings for individual events. We encourage all parents to investigate, independently, to determine suitability for their child.  Most live events held at the Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center can be easily found by searching online for videos and audio clips.

If you or someone in your party plans to attend an event with a service animal, please notify box office personnel when purchasing your tickets so that we may make every effort to arrange for an aisle seat or other seat that can accommodate you and your service animal. Service animals are generally dogs that are individually trained to perform tasks for people with disabilities, including physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual or mental disabilities. Services animals may perform tasks such as guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling wheelchairs, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, or helping persons with psychiatric and neurological disabilities by preventing or interrupting impulsive or destructive behaviors.
