Performances & Ticketing Protocols

The Fine Arts Division is planning a full season of performances, art shows and other events this coming year. We will, of course, maintain an attitude of flexibility and follow Sedgwick County Local mandates. 

  • Masking requirements will be determined by current campus-wide policies, which can be located at friends.edu/coronavirus.  During periods in which masks are not required, mask wearing is still strongly encouraged, especially when entering and exiting the auditorium.
  • Three-fourths of the auditorium will be available to the public. This will allow for social distancing for those who choose to do so.
  • All ticket sales will take place online and contact-free at friends.edu/fineartstickets. There will be no in-person box office in Riney Fine Arts Center and no will-call office for holding tickets. Patrons may call the box office at 316-295-5677 to purchase tickets if they prefer.
  • Patrons are asked to stay in their cars until the auditorium door opens 30 minutes before the start of the show.
  • Contactless event entry – patrons will show the usher their tickets on their mobile device or print the ticket(s) at home and hold this up to the usher.

Policies
