Reservations and Payment
  • A minimum of ten people is required to make a school group purchase.
  • A non-refundable $50 deposit is due upon making your reservation.
  • You receive one complimentary chaperone seat for every 20 seats purchased, to ensure adequate adult supervision for your group. Be sure to provide us with the total number of seats you need, including all adults and chaperones. The cost of your free ticket(s) will be deducted from the amount due.
  • When your school books three or more productions within one season, you will receive a discount of 50 cents per student. Orders must be booked together and require a minimum $50 deposit per production to receive the discount.
  • First Stage offers its season ticket families the benefit of free admission for their children when their children attend a First Stage performance with their school. Please send a list of these students’ names and their parent’s names with your initial order; we will deduct the proper amount from your group’s total due.
  • Group orders may be adjusted as needed until the order is paid. If you need additional seats after your final payment is made, requests must be made up to 48 hours before your scheduled performance.
  • Full payment is due no later than 30 days prior to the performance. No refunds or exchanges are possible after final payment. Refunds will not be given for students who are ill.
  • Payment must be made on a single school check—no cash or checks from individual students, please.

Special seating needs

  • Seating for persons with disabilities and audio describer services are available upon request. Please notify us of these needs when placing your order.
  • Please remember that children under age three will not be admitted in the theater. Please notify parent chaperones.

Interpreted Performances

  • We offer a limited number of sign language interpreted performances for our school matinees.
  • If your group is unable to attend one of the scheduled interpreted performances, you are welcome to bring your own interpreter. Groups that bring their own interpreter will receive two complimentary tickets for the interpreter to preview the show and an additional ten complimentary tickets for your school order. These tickets will be held for interpreted performances until July 1.
