Before the show

Plan the practical details

Parking, timing, and ticket policies can change. Use Clark Center’s current information before you go.

Find the Fair Oaks entrance

The Clark Center is at 487 Fair Oaks Avenue, at the corner of Fair Oaks and Valley Road in Arroyo Grande.

Arrive early for parking

The venue says onsite parking is included with a ticket and recommends arriving early. Its current overflow guidance points to Gospel Lighthouse Church across Valley Road or nearby residential streets, with no parking on Fair Oaks in front of the high school or near the churches.

Use the front drop-off zone

For drop-offs and rideshare, the venue directs visitors to the white curb directly in front of the building.

Match arrival time to the room

For Forbes Hall events, the lobby opens one hour before showtime and seating opens 30 minutes before. Studio Theatre timing varies by performance.

Arrange access support ahead

The venue lists ADA seating and assisted listening devices. It asks for sign-language interpreter requests at least two to three weeks ahead and notes that availability is not guaranteed.

Start with the official box office

The Clark Center recommends starting ticket searches on clarkcenter.org. Its box office page says displayed ticket prices include the per-ticket fee and that the box office opens one hour before a show.
