What to expect

  • Masks are not required in any building on The University of Texas at Austin’s campus. Wearing an N-95 mask is the best way to protect yourself and those around you from COVID-19 in public places, so you are more than welcome to wear one!
  • All seating will be General Admission so you can choose your seats comfortably. The Butler School may reduce capacity for public performances if Austin has a high rate of COVID-19 cases.
  • With the new Moody Center, parking on our side of campus will be more challenging next year. We encourage you to consider public transportation or ride sharing to avoid hunting for parking or sitting in long lines. If you are driving to campus, we recommend arriving early to find parking.
