Frequently Asked Questions
Where the heck is Whittier? Whittier is about 18 miles south-east of Los Angeles, California or 23 miles driving distance from Los Angeles International Airport. Whittier features a pleasant small town atmosphere in the middle of the Los Angeles metropolitan area. See the Directions page for further information.
How do I get the best tickets?  Call the box office, be early and be a season subscriber. The box office has the best selection of seats. For the Aloha series, almost all of the orchestra and mezzanine are taken by season subscribers. Other series have less subscribers,but subscribing is still the best way to get the best seats. We normally start our subscription process for the Aloha Series at the end of May . After all the subscription cut off date, normally the start of August and a time to process all of them, single shows are put on sale. The exact dates will be on the series pages under "Calendar."
Are there any good places to eat around the Shannon Center? Shannon Center's location in Uptown Whittier puts many good restaurants within walking or minimal driving distance. Please see the Local Dining page for more information
How much does it cost and where can I park? Parking is free at the Shannon Center. You may park anywhere on the Whittier College campus (after 5:00 p.m. weekdays and all day on Saturday and Sunday), but the best parking is directly behind the center. There is also parking across Philadelphia next to the Mendendhall Building and east on Philadelphia in front of the music buildings.
How big is the theater? I'm in the balcony, will I be able to see the performers? The theater is very intimate, so you can leave the binoculars at home. Please see the Robinson Theatre page for more information.
