The Eskridge Tri-ART Series is the Brooks Center’s educational outreach program for area schools. Annually, the series presents interactive morning performances by world-renowned musicians, singers, theater companies and Clemson student ensembles. Students, ages 3-18, from public, private and homeschools in South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia experience both entertaining and inspiring presentations. The series is named for Tri-ART benefactors Bill and Donna Eskridge.
Reservations
Any adult attending a Tri-ART performance must be accompanying a child. For the safety of our guests, adults who arrive without children will not be permitted to enter the theatre, even if they have a ticket. Adults who arrive separately from their children/students must check in at the entrance and wait in the lobby until someone in their party comes to get them. We appreciate your cooperation.
The Brooks Center accepts reservations by MAIL OR EMAIL for all those attending Tri-ART by bus starting May 15. We cannot accept reservations via phone or in person.
All those attending Tri-ART by car will place reservations online starting July 1. Tickets for each performance are held for car riders to ensure equal access to tickets.
All patrons, including children of any age, must have a ticket to enter the theater.
If you have questions concerning reservations or seating availability, please contact Tri-ART Coordinator MaryJo Jeffries at maryjoj@clemson.edu or by phone at 864-656-7787 for more information. We can't wait to welcome you to a Tri-ART performance!

Inclement Weather Policy
When Clemson University is closed, the Brooks Center cannot lawfully remain open to present performances. While some facilities around campus maintain "auxiliary" status and therefore may remain open, our facility does NOT have this status and MUST close. We are required to cancel scheduled performances if the university closes for any reason. Check the South Carolina Emergency Management Division's website regarding status of state offices. If Pickens county is closed, the Brooks Center is closed.
