Policies
University Theatre programs are subject to change.
Performances do begin promptly. Latecomers will be seated at the discretion of House Management. There is no guarantee of seating once the performance has begun.
Please turn off all cell phones and electronic devices for the duration of the performance. Disruptive behavior may result in being removed from the theatre.
No food or drink are allowed in the theatres.
No refunds are given, but exchanges can be made up to 24 hours prior to the ticketed performance date when tickets are available. Patrons who cannot use their tickets are asked to contact the Campus Arts Ticketing Box Office no less than 24 hours before the time of the performance. Postdated tickets have no value and cannot be exchanged. Unused tickets can be donated to the theatre for resale, the proceeds of which will go toward improving the theatre.
Any person entering the theatre must have a ticket. Babes in arms will not be permitted. University Theatre discourages patrons from bringing small children to the theatre except in those cases where the production is specifically intended for young audiences.
