FAQs
What if I have students with special needs?
We do our best to accommodate all students. If you have students with special needs, please let us know when you make your reservation so that we can make any necessary arrangements.
Can I choose my own seats?
For Mainstage shows, a block of seats will be assigned to each group based on group size and reservation date. For Second Stage shows, seating is general admission.
Can I make changes to my reservation?
Depending on availability, you may change your group size up until the final payment has been made. After that date, you may purchase additional tickets based on availability, but no refunds can be given if you reduce your group size. Exchanges are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Can home schooled students get tickets to student matinees?
Yes! For groups with the minimum quantity of 15 or more students, normal student matinee procedures will apply. For groups of fewer than 15 students, tickets are available starting two weeks before the performance date (when final payments have been received from groups that do meet the minimum quantity) and all adult tickets will be additional adult tickets.
What if my school has a snow day?
If you are unable to attend a performance due to a weather cancellation or delay, please let us know as soon as possible! We will do our best to reschedule your performance. If this is not possible, you will be given a full refund.
