ABOUT TICKET PRICING
For this production, the opening night performance on Thursday January 22 will double as a “Pay What You Can” performance. Patrons may pay the regular ticket price ($20 for adults and $15 for students) or select a free ticket and make a donation of any amount.
Friday January 23 and Saturday January 24 are catered shows meaning there is one flat ticket price for each show. The $25 ticket includes the performance and heavy hors d’oeuvres.
Tickets for the Sunday January 25 matinee are standard pricing.
Athens Area Council for the Arts is committed to helping eliminate barriers to arts experiences. While Athens Community Theatre is an important source of revenue for AACA programs, the organization understands ticket prices can be prohibitive and offers a “Pay What You Can” option for most theatrical productions. This Pay What You Can option is generally during a rehearsal and is publicized by word of mouth.
