Waitlist

Get on the WAIT LIST! We take a wait list on the evening of each sold out show starting 1 hour prior to curtain. Here's How...

1. Arrive at the box office EARLY! We open the box office 1 hour prior to curtain and will begin taking a wait list at that time.
2. Purchase a wait list provisional ticket.
3. Provisional tickets are numbered and are seated in numerical order, please do not leave the theatre lobby so you don't miss your number being called.
4. We will seat provisional tickets as seats become available beginning 30 minutes prior to the show up until our final latecomer seating opportunity.
5. Seating is based on availability and you may not always be seated with those in your party.
6.If your number is not called and you do not get in to see the show, return to the box office with your ticket and you will receive a refund.

We have had excellent opportunities to seat many on the wait list for previous shows, especially those that arrive early!
