And if you’re taking in both our plays this year (highly recommended!) feel free to mix and match ticket prices between the shows to earn the equivalent of the savings on our former 2-show passes (which were sold priced at: first show regular price, second show half price).

Preview Performances: June 17 (The Merry Wives of Windsor) and June 19 (Macbeth):

All tickets for our preview performances will be Pay-What-You-Will (minimum price $5).

FAQ: What is a preview? It’s the final dress rehearsal for the play and first time with an audience for the show, allowing the cast and crew a chance to make final adjustments to the performance.

Audience numbers will be capped at 100 patrons (Macbeth) and 120 (The Merry Wives of Windsor) nightly. For this reason, buying advance tickets or showing up early is advisable on fair weather nights in particular. However, if you’re willing to risk a little rain in return for a more intimate audience experience, coming on nights when the weather is a bit iffy (or any night earlier in our run) is a great idea.

Advance tickets purchased for rained-out performances can be used for subsequent shows or returned for refund. If rain forces the cancellation of a performance already in progress, audience members can return to a subsequent performance for free admittance, or can opt for a ticket refund if the stoppage occurs prior to halfway through the show.
