All of our regular, daytime, lectures are open-seating. Reserved seating is not an option for these daytime events so please arrive early if you have a preferred seat. A seat map of the theater is available.

Students with free admission (excepting Town Hall Scholars) are to sit in the Upper Balcony only.

Our special evening event is reserved seating only.

Complimentary, new and improved assisted listening devices are now available for the Town Hall audience! They will be set up right outside the box-office inside the theater.  Please see the Saroyan website for more information.

All morning lectures begin at 10:30am. The lecture itself lasts approximately 1 hour and is generally followed immediately by a fifteen minute question and answer period.
