Berklee Performance Center does not currently require masking or proof of vaccination for entry into performances.
The venue and Celebrity Series strongly recommend that all patrons wear a mask.
Updated September 2022.
Originally designed in 1915 as the Fenway Theatre, Berklee Performance Center was renovated, modernized and reopened by Berklee College of Music in 1976. The BPC has been a Celebrity Series partner venue since 1977.
For security purposes, large bags, backpacks, instruments, and equipment are not permitted, and the Berklee security team will perform bag checks of purses and small personal items. To ensure you are on time for the performance, please arrive early and expect to wait in a brief line. The doors will open approximately 30 minutes prior to the start of events. Seating after the performance has begun will be at the discretion of management, and may be delayed until a suitable pause in the performance.
Berklee Performance Center has implemented robust safety protocols to effectively protect the safety of the community and keep infection rate low.
