‘First Look’ performances are the first week of the run of each show prior to opening night (with some exceptions). First Look tickets are lower price and offer the opportunity to experience the show while the creative team is still polishing and making changes. This is a vital element of a show’s evolution, allowing the creative team to step back and see the show through the eyes and experience of the audience. Playhouse staff speak to the audience briefly before the show starts, and the creative team may be seated near you taking notes.

Subscribers select the seating area (Gold Circle, Area 1 or Area 2) when you order. You can also leave a note about a specific request when you are booking online. When our Patron Services team starts working on your subscription, they will select the best available seats for you. If they have questions, Patron Services will get in touch with you.

We encourage you to order swiftly to ensure you get the pick of the best seats – orders are processed in order of receipt.

One of the most popular benefits of the Premium 6-Play subscription is that you can keep your same great seats, year after year. The seats are different in each of the three theatre spaces.

Design-Your-Own subscribers are allocated the best available seats (with your preferences taken into account), so your seats will change per show.

It’s important to note that due to the nature of developing new works for the stage, seating and sightlines may adjust when shows move from rehearsals into the theatre. If your seats or sightlines are affected, we will contact you to offer equal or upgraded seats to ensure your enjoyment.

The Premium 6-Play package is the best deal. You get the lowest prices (save at least 20%), first access to excellent seats that you can renew, year after year, and many more perks.

The Design-Your-Own package is great if you want more flexibility. You choose 3 or more shows you want to see, and select any date and time that suits your calendar. Prices are higher than the premium 6-Play package (save around 10%), but you still get a discount on single ticket prices.

If you would like to discuss the package that’s right for you, please feel free to get in touch with our Patron Services team at (858) 550-1010, and they’ll be happy to help explain the benefits of each option.
