What to expect:

When should I arrive?

We recommend patrons arrive at least 30 minutes before the show to avoid last-minute lines at the Box Office. Large groups should allow more time before the show to distribute tickets. We recommend an hour before the performance.

What should I wear?

We have no official “dress code” for attending plays at Arizona Theatre Company. Typically, patrons choose dress/casual attire for non-Opening Night performances and formal attire for Opening Nights. However, we’d rather have a patron come in jeans and sweatshirt than not come at all out of concern for how they are dressed.

Is there beverage and snack service?

Food and beverage service is available in the TCA Lounge an hour prior to performance time and through intermission.

How long is the show? Will there be an intermission?

Most of ATC’s shows are approximately 2 hours long and have a 15-minute intermission. You will receive an email a few days prior to your show with run-time and show details.

More Information to Know Before You Go:

Just come to the Box Office, provide your name, and let us know you lost your ticket. We can issue you a location pass for your seat(s). You may be ask to see an ID.

Pick up your tickets at the Arizona Theatre Company Box Office at Tempe Center for the Arts. An hour before the show, certain windows are designated “Will Call.”

We don’t usually require an ID to pick up tickets. Normally, all you will need is the first and last name of the person who purchased the tickets. However, it’s also helpful to have the ticket order number and/or credit card number associated with your order.

If you are running late, keep in mind that the Box Office windows stay open until about 15 minutes after curtain. If you arrive by that time, you can pick up your tickets there. If not, see the house manager in the lobby. He/she will have your tickets. The ushers will take you into the house and have you stand at the back until the next seating break.

While some shows are not appropriate for children, children ages 5 and up are welcome to attend if you purchase them a ticket. Children under 5 are not allowed in the theatre.

6-Play Subscribers and Premium Flex Pass holders can exchange tickets to another day during the same show’s run at no charge. Flex Pass holders and single-ticket holders will be charged $5 per ticket exchanged. You can call the box office at 833-ATC-SEAT (M-F 10 AM to 5 PM) or fill out the Contact the Box Office web form and a Patron Services associate will contact you or process your exchange and send a confirmation email.

You can donate your tickets back to ATC as a tax-deductible donation (we will re-sell your tickets) if you notify us at least 24 hours in advance. Please call the box office at least 24 hours before your show. We will make a note on your account and send you a letter acknowledging your contribution.

If you find that you are unable to attend a performance at the last minute, email us to let us know and we will give your ticket to a student who may be waiting for rush tickets for that show. We cannot, however, issue a tax credit for tickets donated less than 24 hours before the scheduled performance.
