Ticket Info & Policies
Tickets usually go on sale about 4 weeks before a production opens. Tickets purchased in advance can be picked up at the theater on the night of the performance only, starting about one hour before curtain. Seating is general admission; we recommend picking up your tickets at least fifteen minutes prior to curtain. Shows, unless otherwise noted, begin at 8:15, or 3:15 for Sunday matinees. We cannot guarantee late seating. (Note: Advance sales are generally final. There are no refunds for unused tickets unless a performance is cancelled. Contact us IN ADVANCE if you need to reschedule or cancel already purchased tickets or if you are delayed or have an emergency.)
Online
You can purchase advance tickets on our secure online sales page. There is no added fee for online purchases.
Phone Sales
You can purchase tickets by phone using a credit card by calling our Box Office at 919.682.3343. If you reach our voice mail, please leave your name and number and the best time to reach you in person, and we will call you back. (Please do not leave credit card numbers in your message.) There is no added fee for phone purchases.
At the Door
Tickets can be purchased at the box office the night of a show starting about an hour before curtain, subject to availability. Door purchases are by cash, check, credit card. If you have Season Vouchers, you can use them to purchase your tickets at the door, but we recommend purchasing in advance to save you time. (Note that Season Vouchers do NOT guarantee ticket availability at the door if a show is sold out and you haven’t reserved.) There is no added fee for door sales.
Waiting List
Most sold-out shows will have some tickets available the night of the show. Sign-up for the waiting list starts when box office opens, usually around 7:00. You have to be at the theater in person to get on the list for that night’s show, and can sign up for a maximum of 2 tickets per person. Please click on the “Waiting List” tab above if you have questions or need more information.
If you have 2012-13 Season Vouchers, you can purchase tickets by phone, or at our box office when you attend. To purchase by phone just call our Box Office at 919.682.3343 at any time, and leave a message telling us the day and date you want to attend and the number of tickets you are purchasing with Vouchers. We will call you back to confirm, and debit your Season Voucher account for the number of Vouchers you are using. There is no added fee when using Season Vouchers to purchase tickets.
For sold out shows, we usually have some tickets available at the door the night of the show. If so, we release the tickets to a waiting list which we start at the theater when we open the box office about 75 minutes before curtain. You have to be here in person to get on the waiting list and can sign up for a maximum of two tickets. Cast and crew cannot put you on the waiting list. Please note: door sales are cash or check only (no credit cards).
Student tickets are $5 either in advance or at the door with a current student i.d. If a show is sold out, and there is a waiting list, students on the waiting list can pay the student rate IF they get in.
Seniors and Military
Seniors (62+) and active duty military are eligible for a $2 ticket discount. Just indicate the Senior/Military rate when purchasing online or by phone, then show your i.d. when you pick up your tickets the night of the show. You can also request the Senior/Military rate when purchasing at the box office.
Comps
Comps and reviewer tickets can be reserved by phone at our voice mail number, 919.682.3343.
Beer, wine, coffee, sodas, bottled water are for sale in the lobby prior to the performance and during intermission (if there is one). We accept cash or credit cards for concession purchases (no checks). Complimentary snacks (cookies, pretzels, etc.) are also available. We DO allow drinks in the performance space.
Volunteers
If you’d like to see a show for free AND help Manbites Dog, consider volunteering to help with front of house duties. We generally use two volunteers at each performance. To sign up, call our Voice Mail number, 919.682.3343, and tell us the specific performance you’d like to volunteer for. We’ll call you back to confirm. Volunteers need to arrive no later 6:45 p.m. the night of the show (1:45 p.m. on Sundays), and assist before the show, at intermission, and briefly after the show. Tasks include concession sales, box office, ushering, and a quick post-show cleanup.
Previews and Bargain-Price Shows
For pay-what-you-can ($5 minimum) previews and similar bargain price shows, ticket sales are at the door only, with cash, check, or credit card.
