The doors leading into the theater will be closed during talks to avoid interruptions, so we thank you for your patience and cooperation. Our friends at the Cultural Trust recommend getting to the Byham Theater around 10:45. This will give you plenty of time to check in, get seated, and make yourself comfortable before the talks start at 11:30 sharp!
