FAQ
Q: If I join as a member now, when does my membership expire?
A: Your membership is good for one year from the month you first sign up or renew your membership.
Q: Is membership tax deductible?
A: Yes it is, to the fullest extent allowed by law.
Q: May I use a matching gift from my employer for my membership?
A: A number of our members use an employer match to increase their support level to the Theatre. Check your company’s matching gift policy.
Q: Do you send advance notices every week?
A: Advance notices are issued when new shows have been confirmed. While we might not have new shows to announce every week, advance notices are regularly sent out at mid-day on Monday. Shows are announced to the general public on Wednesday which gives our members 48 hours head start in buying tickets.
Q: Will getting the advance notice for shows get me better seats?
A: The advance notice will provide you with the opportunity to purchase tickets before the show is announced to the public. The more quickly you respond to the notice, the more choices you will have in your seat selection.
Q: Why should I become a member?
A: Even at our primary level of $50 per year, you will receive a tax deduction as a charitable contribution, you will save the service charges when buying tickets over the phone and you will be recognized as a supporter of the arts. If you buy just 12 tickets over the course of a year, your membership will have paid for itself in saved service fees.
Q: What is The Carlton Lounge?
A: Our newly constructed Carlton Lounge, located at the street level just to the west of the Box Office is for the use and enjoyment of our Patron level and Chairman’s Circle level members. It offers a comfortable private lounge to enjoy a drink before, during or immediately after the show. It boasts a full service bar, private restrooms and closed circuit flat screen television to the stage.
