-----------------------

$10 General Admission can be pre-ordered here or paid at the door (if not sold out). Pre-ordering online guarantees you will be able to get into the show so long as you arrive before it starts. Because online ticket-buyers occasionally don't show up, we reserve the right to sell unclaimed seats to walk-ups at the door once the show begins. That's why arriving between 6-6:30pm is HIGHLY recommended. If you plan to buy tickets at the door and there are still some available, they can be purchased with cash or Venmo.

$15 Reserved Seating is available for pre-order here and allows you to (a) make sure you'll have a spot to sit and (b) choose where you would like to sit. You will be prompted AFTER checkout to choose your Top 3 preferrred sections. We'll assign you the best available seats and a personalized "Reserved" sign with your name will be waiting at your pre-selected spot when you arrive!
