We love it when you want to see many of our performances!  Want to come to every recital, five dance, three vocal celebration, all theater, and a show from our family offerings?  Want to reserve two seats for most performances, but want to bring a friend or three to a few?  With that kind of variety can come some complicated orders, so we advise that if you have questions about the best arrangement of your performances into packages and add-on single tickets, it may be better to do this over the phone instead of online. Contact the Ticket Office as our staff is ready to help you navigate the subscription process so that you get the maximum savings, especially when you may have complex needs.

Subscription seating is completed by our Ticket Office on a first-come, first-served basis according to the priority ordering dates. An order received after the priority window closes will receive processing priority on the day it is received, based on the level of giving. Subscription tickets for the 2024–25 season will be emailed in July.

See “How do I get priority seating?” for priority ordering dates.

April 23 2024–25 Season Subscribers and Donors of $1,500+

Season Brochure—if you received a season brochure in the mail, we suggest you have it handy as you choose the shows you want to include in your subscription. The brochure contains full descriptions of all of the shows, organized by genre. It also includes a season calendar listing with ticket prices for every level. If you didn’t receive a brochure, you can download a PDF of it, or request that one be sent to you.

The 2024–25 Season page allows you to browse the season lineup online. You can view the entire season, or filter by genre and date. For each event, you’ll see a link where you can “learn more,” which will take you to the event details page.

The event details page provides additional information about the show, including more photos and videos, the program (if available), and the available subscription packages.
