Will I receive confirmation of my purchase?

If you provide us with your email address during your order, we will send you a confirmation with the details of your order at the time of purchase.

Will my tickets be mailed to me? Do I need to print or bring anything with me?

We are a ticket-less theater, so your reservation will be held at the door. No need to bring anything with you—just check-in with your name at the Box Office.

The Box Office opens for check-in starting one hour prior to the performance.

What if my preferred performance is sold-out? Do you have a waiting list?

If a performance you’d like to attend has sold out, we encourage you to keep checking in with us! Seats may become available due to exchanges and/or cancellations.

Also, starting one hour prior to a sold-out performance, the Box Office will begin a wait list. At curtain time, in the event of last-minute cancellations or no-shows, and at the discretion of the Box Office Associate and House Manager, seats may be released and sold to those on the waiting list on a first-come, first-served basis, with one exception: TimeLine subscribers on the wait list will receive priority. We will not take wait list names over the phone; you must arrive in person to sign up. We cannot guarantee that seats will become available, but we will do our best to accommodate you.

Can I exchange my tickets to a different performance?

Single tickets may be exchanged to another performance of the same production for a $5 fee per ticket, if requested at least 24 hours prior to the originally ticketed performance. Exchanges are subject to availability, and may incur additional charges if you are exchanging to a performance with higher priced tickets. TimeLine’s FlexPass Subscribers enjoy at least two free exchanges per production.

Can I get a refund?

All sales are final. We do not offer refunds.
