Questions & answers

Q:
Is the "ga" seating worth it to go to a show. It's the only ticket I can really afford. Thanks!
A:
It is a pretty small and cozy theater, so I can’t imagine any really bad seats. I would go on their website and look at the seating diagram to see where your seats are located. Enjoy.

A:
Sorry, Rusty, I have not seen that there. Any questions about the performance, I would either go on their website or call the box office.

A:
Individual tickets range from $20 to $95 depending upon seating. However, if scheduling is a problem, you can buy a subscription and exchange your subscription date tickets for dates that match your needs. We often do that since we cannot always go on our subscription date. On the other hand, if price and scheduling are problems, consider buying tickets to the Studio 3 series of plays. These plays are full length performances in a smaller venue which is quite intimate. You will look directly into the performers eyes and so become "part" of the performance. We love both the main theater and Studio 3.
