Ticket Info & Policies
General Info
Our standard ticket prices are $20 on weekends, and $12 on weeknights. Seniors (62+) and active duty/reserve military are eligible for a $2 discount. Student tickets are $10 weekends and $6 weeknights; 18 and older MUST show a current (dated) student i.d. For special Preview Nights all tickets are $5 in advance or at the door. Tickets usually go on sale about 4 weeks before a production opens. Check our Current Season page for show on-sale dates.
There are NO added or hidden fees for ticket purchases. The listed ticket price is what you pay, online or at the door. Isn’t that refreshing?
Tickets purchased in advance can be picked up at the theater on the night of the performance only, under the purchaser’s name, starting about one hour before showtime. You do NOT need to print out a receipt or ticket, just ask for tickets by name when you arrive. Seating is general admission; we recommend picking up your tickets by 30 minutes prior to showtime. Tickets not picked up by 10 minutes prior to showtime may be released to the waiting list. Shows unless otherwise noted begin at 8:15, at 2:00 for matinees, and at 7:30 for occasional Sunday evening or other dark night performances. WE CANNOT GUARANTEE LATE SEATING.
Online
You can purchase advance tickets online at our secure sales page up until 5:00 the night of the show (or noon for matinees). There are no added fees for online purchase. Advance sales are generally final unless you contact us IN ADVANCE to reschedule or cancel. If a performance is cancelled, all tickets are refunded in full.
Phone Sales
Purchasing online is easier and faster, however if you have difficulty, you can contact us at our voice mail number: 919.682.3343. Leave a message with your name and number and the best time to reach you in person, and we will call you back as soon as we can to assist you. Please do not leave credit card numbers in your message. There are no added fees for phone purchase.
At the Door
Tickets can be purchased subject to availability at the box office the night of a show starting about one hour before curtain. Door purchases are by cash, check, credit card. If you have a Season Flex Pass, you can use it to purchase your tickets at the door, but we recommend reserving in advance to save you time. (Note that Season Flex Passes do NOT guarantee ticket availability at the door if a show is sold out and you haven’t reserved.) There are no added fees 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 or around 1:00 for matinees. 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 in line. To avoid delaying the start of the show, wait list purchases are CASH ONLY. Please click on the “Waiting List” tab above if you have questions or need more information.

For sold out shows, we usually have some tickets available at the door the night of the show. We will start a waiting list at the theater when we open the box office about 7:00 p.m., or about 1:00 for matinees. You have to be here in person to get on the waiting list and can sign up for a maximum of two tickets. We do not know in advance how many tickets will be available, what your chances are, or what time to arrive to be first in line. Cast and crew cannot put you on the waiting list. To avoid delaying the start of the show, wait list tickets are CASH ONLY. Frequently asked wait list questions.
For most shows, student/youth tickets are $10 on weekends, $6 weeknights, either in advance or at the door. College or grad students (18 or older) will need to show a current student i.d. (one i.d. per student ticket) at the box office. 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/reserve military are eligible for a $2 ticket discount for most shows. Just select the Senior/Military rate when purchasing online or by phone. Military may need to show an active duty/reserve i.d. at the box office. You can also request the Senior/Military rate when purchasing at the box office.

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.

Volunteers need to arrive no later than 6:45 p.m. (or at 12:30 p.m. for matinees) for setup, and will assist before the show, at intermission, and briefly after the show. Tasks include concession sales, box office assistance, ushering, and a quick post-show cleanup.
