4.) School Show ticket prices range from $4 -$8 for students and teachers, depending on the production, (plus one free ticket with each 20 purchased). Seats will be assigned AFTER confirmation is received from teachers or as special needs are requested.

Paper tickets are not issued for school matinee performances. Instead, your reservation will reserve a specific number of seats in the theater. There will be a table in the lobby where teachers will check in prior to show.

WHO MAY ATTEND THE "SERIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE":
All the shows in the "Series For Young People" are presented for the education and enrichment of school-aged children throughout the region. In order to allow as many students as possible to attend performances, the number of teachers and other adults attending performances must be limited to the number necessary to transport and chaperone students. For this reason, we ask that you do not encourage parents to attend student matinee performances with their children.

CHANGING RESERVATIONS:
Additional seating is provided based on availability. If any group should exceed the number of seats reserved without notifying us in advance, we cannot guarantee that the entire group will be seated.

CANCELLATIONS:
Please notify the Mountain Arts Center Box Office IN WRITING NO LATER THAN TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE SCHEDULED PERFORMANCE. After that date, schools are responsible for 100% of the reservation value. If your school system is closed due to inclement weather or other extenuating circumstances, we will refund the ticket cost for the performance. We will not refund for any other reason. In fairness to others who may want to attend, THIS POLICY WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED. You will not be billed for any performance cancelled by the Mountain Arts Center.

ACCOMMODATING DISABILITIES:
The Mountain Arts Center is fully handicapped accessible. When making reservations, notify the Mountain Arts Center of the number of people in your group who require special services and the specific services requested.

ARRIVING BY BUS:
Plan to arrive at the theater at least 20 minutes prior to the start of the show. Remain on your bus until a volunteer usher escorts you into the theater. We have developed this policy to ensure the safety of students and so that we might efficiently seat a large number of students in a timely manner.

ARRIVING BY CAR:
Please park as directed by the attendant. Cars and
trucks will not be permitted in the space designated for school buses. School buses will have the right-of-way on our parking lot at all times. NO EXCEPTIONS.

KERA CONNECTION:
All programming is selected based upon two criteria - educational value and artistic quality. Many productions are based on familiar children's literature, emphasize positive values, or introduce students to unfamiliar art forms.

Note: KERA CONNECTION and thematic information are provided for each
production.

Show Dates & Times Are Subject To Change. Please Call To Verify.
