Bats at the Brooks Center in Clemson

A colony of bats is forcing the closure of the Brooks Theater and Bellamy Theatre at Clemson University. The Brooks Center for the Performing Arts announces that it will be closed through May 15, to remove these bats. The Brooks Center is working with wildlife experts to make sure the bats are removed humanely, and that any necessary repairs and cleaning are fully addressed. The unplanned theater closures means that a number of scheduled performances and events will be relocated, rescheduled and, in some cases, cancelled. Announcements on affected events will be shared with ticket-holders and will be posted on the Brooks Center website and through Clemson University social media channels once information becomes available.
