New: Youth Experience Special
Are you a teacher, scout leader, or youth group coordinator and want to organize a trip to one of our shows? We would love to have you and have designed a special savings plan for youth groups. For every 10 student tickets purchased, your group will receive one free regular ticket for a chaperone. And if your group brings 15 or more students, you will also receive the $2 per ticket group ticket discount. That could be a savings of up to $78 or more. Plus, we will throw in a ticket for the bus driver.
