WAITING LIST INFORMATION
WAITING LIST:
We usually have some tickets available at the door for sold out shows, due to released house seats, cancellations, and no-shows. We start a waiting list the night of the show when we open the box office about 75 minutes before curtain. You must be here in person to get on the waiting list and can sign up for a maximum of two tickets. We will release tickets if and when they become available. Seating is general admission, and waiting list seating may not be together. Tickets are usually $17 on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and $12 on weeknights. (Tickets for Beyond Belief are $20 & $15; the Safe Passage Benefit is $25.) Student Rush Tickets are $8 if you have a student i.d. (No Student Rush tickets for Safe Passage Benefit.) Door sales are cash or check only, no credit card sales at the door.
Frequently Asked Questions:
How many tickets will you have available?
We won't know for sure until the night of the show, but usually we have a few house tickets available. In addition, we sometimes have last minute cancellations, no-shows, or attendees who don't need all of their reserved tickets.
What are my chances of getting in?
There are no guarantees, but if you're the first person on the list, your chances are very good. Your odds lessen the further down on the list you are.
What time should I arrive to be first in line?
(Yes, we really get asked this question. A lot.)
Sometimes nobody arrives for the waiting list until fifteen or twenty minutes after we open. Sometimes there are already a half dozen or more people lined up outside when we arrive. You never know.
We have a group of eight. Can I come by myself and sign up all eight?
No. You can sign up for a maximum of two tickets. To sign up a group of eight, at least four of you would have to be here in person. (Note: we don't allow scalping. If you attempt it, you get removed from the list.)
When do you start releasing tickets to the waiting list?
Usually as they become available, so plan to remain at the theater once you're on the list. If we call your name and you are not here, we cross you off the list and go to the next person.
What is seating like for the waiting list?
We seat between 80 and 100 people, depending on the show, so most seats are fine. It may be side seating (reasonably good sightlines, but at an angle). Seating may not be together. We don't usually have room for standing room admissions.
What if I don't like the seating?
Return to the box office BEFORE the show starts for a full refund. We will resell your tickets to the next person(s) on the waiting list.
If I have Season Vouchers, do I get priority on the waiting list?
No, but you CAN use your vouchers to purchase your tickets if you do get in. Let us know when you sign up on the list that you plan to use vouchers.
Can I buy waiting list tickets at Student Rush prices?
Yes, if you are a student. Student Rush tickets are $8, cash or check only. You must have a current, valid student i.d. with you for EACH ticket purchased. (Note: No Student Rush tickets for Safe Passage Benefit.)
I REALLY wanted to see the show, but now I can't...

It's not fair! Nobody told me it was going to sell out.
Theater, unlike everything else in the universe, is not fair.
Is that really your box office in the photo?
No, although our lobby has recently been redecorated and now looks incredibly spiffy.
