Getting to the Cressey Center for the Arts
To ensure a smooth arrival and stress-free parking for your performance, please follow these specific navigation and campus driving instructions:
GPS Navigation Note: Map applications (including Apple Maps) may not recognize "Cressey Center for the Arts." Please set your GPS destination to Lake Forest Academy or use the main campus address: 1500 Kennedy Rd, Lake Forest, IL 60045.
Entering Campus: Turn onto Academy Drive from Kennedy Road to enter the main gates.
At the Entrance Stop Sign: You will immediately approach a stop sign at a fork in the road. Veer right to remain on the main Academy Drive route. (Please do not enter the circle drive on the left).
Parking & Venue Location: Once you veer right, you will see a long parking lot running along the left side of the road. You are welcome to park anywhere in this lot. The Cressey Center for the Arts is the first building located directly off of this parking lot, easily identified by the "Cressey Center" signage above the arched entryway.
Timing: We recommend arriving 20–30 minutes prior to showtime to allow for parking and seating.

Admission
The auditorium doors and box office open 30 minutes before the start of the event and you can then go to your seat.
If you arrive too late, we cannot grant admission until there is a break in the music out of respect for the performers and the audience.
