The BHS Performing Arts Center
A state-of-the-art facility that is home to all of our shows throughout the year. Some of our shows are free to the public with general admission seating (but we always encourage donations). For paid shows, tickets can be purchased via this website (look for yellow TICKETS button) as well as at the Box Office the night of the show. Tickets sold online allow you to reserve your seats which is highly recommended. Tickets sold at the Box Office are first-come-first-served and general admission.
