CONTENT

The views and opinions expressed by the artists my not necessarily be shared by the Lafon Arts Center or St. Charles Parish Public Schools.

Many of the shows at the Lafon Art Center are designed for families and are “kid friendly,” some are designated as for a more “mature audience”. We make every effort to inform ticket buyers about the suitability of a program for a young person. We encourage parents to enjoy shows with your children and ask that you use your personal judgment when deciding on the appropriateness of a performance for yourself, your children, and other patrons.

American Sign Language interpretation services are available for most performances with two weeks’ notice. Please contact the Box Office as early as possible to ensure that we can meet your party’s needs.

Wireless hearing enhancement systems are available free of charge to patrons with hearing impairments. The devices are checked out using a government issued ID on a first-come, first-served basis in the main lobby at the Will Call desk before each performance.

 

WEATHER

It is rare for a performance at the Lafon Arts Center to be canceled due to inclement weather, but in the case that a show is canceled, we will post information on our website, social media, and will make every effort to contact all affected ticket holders.

If the performance is still scheduled but inclement weather makes it impossible for you to attend, please contact the Box Office at (985) 331-3670. Our Audience Engagement Team will help you consider all the options. All ticket donations or exchanges need to be completed at least two hours before the performance, and all tickets are non-refundable.

 

CELL PHONES, PHOTOS, & RECORDING

All cell phones should be either turned off or set to silent mode. Patrons whose cell phones disrupt a performance will be asked to leave the theater. Please also refrain from texting and using your phone during the show — the light emitting from the screen can be very distracting.

Absolutely no photography or recording devices of any kind are permitted in the theater (unless specified by the artist), including camera cell phones. Use of these devices could subject user to being asked to leave the theater, as it negates contract agreements between the Lafon Arts Center and our visiting artists.

 

FOOD, DRINK, & SMOKING

We do not permit outside food or drinks into our building. Please take advantage of our concessions offerings!

The Lafon Arts Center  and its grounds are tobacco and vape free.
