Show Times

All ACT shows, except for the matinees, start at 7:30 p.m. Seating begins at 7 p.m. Matinees (M) start at 2 p.m., with seating beginning at 1:30 p.m.

Arrivals must be seated by 7:30 p.m. (evening performances) and 2 p.m. (matinees). Seating must be complete before the beginning of the performance.

Student Ticket (Children in the Theatre) Policy

ACT welcomes children ages 3 and above. Children under 3, including young infants, will not be admitted. Even if your child is over 3, it is vital to consider if your child will be able to sit in one place for two to three hours without making noise that interrupts the performance and disturbs other audience members or the actors on stage.

All audience members must have a ticket, regardless of age — even if your child sits on your lap.

ACT offers a reduced student ticket price to children from the age 3, up to and including college students.

Some shows may not be suitable for young children. If you are unsure, please ask the box office.

Accommodations

The theater auditorium offers a Hearing Loop system for those who are hard of hearing. To use this technology, you must have a hearing aid or cochlear implant that is equipped with a telecoil program.

Handicap seating and handicap parking are available. Please let the box office know if you require any of these services, and they will assist you.
