· WHAT
SHOULD I WEAR TO THE THEATRE?
There is no formal dress code at our shows. Most of the people you will see in
the audience will probably be dressed in a "business casual" style. Gentlemen
should remove their hats.
· HOW
EARLY MUST I ARRIVE?
We suggest that you arrive at least 30 minutes before the show. Those arriving
after the show begins may not be seated until there is a suitable "break" in the
performance, as determined by the Theatre Manager or the ushers.
· HOW LONG
IS THE SHOW?
Most shows run about 2-1/2 hours, including a 15 minute intermission.
· ARE
CHILDREN ALLOWED IN THE THEATRE?
We do not set age limits for any of our productions. Children as young as 6 have
been known to enjoy our shows.
· DOES MY
CHILD NEED A TICKET? CAN HE SIT ON MY LAP?
Fire regulations require that everyone in a live theatre audience, regardless of age, must have an assigned
seat and a ticket. This is the case even if the child sits in your lap and not
in his assigned seat.
· ARE
THERE DISCOUNTS FOR CHILDREN, STUDENTS OR SENIORS?
Yes, normally. Students 18 and under, and seniors 60 and over. Ticket prices are set
by the performers and their groups.
· IS THERE
A DISCOUNT FOR SAME-DAY TICKETS?
Limited same-day or "rush seating" discounts may sometimes be offered as a
special promotion by the group sponsoring the show. Generally speaking, however, they are not available. If they
are not specifically advertised, you may assume that there are none.
· WHAT
ABOUT GROUP RATES? HOW MANY DO I NEED FOR A GROUP DISCOUNT?
Group discounts are often available for our events, for groups of 20 or more. Please
call the box office for full details at 945-7299.
· CAN I
TAKE PICTURES OF THE SHOW?
No. Cameras, video cameras and any other sound or image-recording devices are
all strictly forbidden in the theatre.
· CAN I
BRING MY OWN FOOD AND DRINKS?
No. There is no food or drink allowed in the auditorium. Anyone disturbing other
patrons with munching, crunching or the rattling of potato chip bags may be
asked to leave.
· DO I
HAVE TO BUY TICKETS IN ADVANCE, OR CAN I BUY THEM WHEN I COME TO THE THEATRE?
There is no requirement that you purchase advance tickets. You may buy your
tickets at the box office as you enter the theatre, but you will be gambling
that there are still seats available. Some performances sell out in advance and
you may find that your seating choices are very limited, if there are any
remaining seats at all.
· IS THE
THEATRE WHEELCHAIR-ACCESSIBLE?
Yes, there is wheelchair and assisted seating available in the theatre.
The theatre has been refigured to accommodate more wheelchair seating,
thanks to The musical Comedy Guild and the Algoma District Board of Education.
· I MUST
HAVE AN AISLE SEAT. HOW CAN I BE SURE MY SEAT IS ON AN AISLE?
If you have any specific seating needs, please order your tickets directly from
the box office. Send in your order early, though, as all seats, including aisle
seats are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
· WHAT IF
I CAN'T MAKE IT TO THE SHOW?
CAN I GET A REFUND OR EXCHANGE MY TICKETS FOR ANOTHER DATE?
Sorry, but the answer is no. Reserved-seat theatre ticket sales are final. There
are no refunds or exchanges. Make sure you get the date right, and check your
tickets when you make your purchase.
· WHAT IF
I LOSE MY TICKETS?
Tickets, once issued, cannot be re-issued; they are like cash and cannot be
reprinted. Please keep your tickets in a safe place. If you do lose your
tickets, please call us as soon as you become aware of the loss: 705-945-7299.
We cannot reprint your tickets, but we can issue a seating voucher for you to
pick up at the box office.
· I'M
ORDERING TICKETS ONLINE, CAN THEY MAIL THEM TO A
FRIEND OR RELATIVE'S ADDRESS?
No, they cannot. The mailing address on your order must match the billing
address registered for the credit card used. This is for your protection as well
as ours. If you don't want your tickets mailed to you, you can request that they
be held for you at the box office. Note: This service will
be only available for the new season starting in September.
· CAN
SOMEONE ELSE PICK MY TICKETS UP AT THE BOX OFFICE FOR ME?
Anyone collecting tickets at the box office which were pre-purchased online must show the credit card with which the tickets were
purchased. This rule is to prevent fraudulent use of an improperly obtained
credit card number in any telephone or online transaction.
· WILL YOU
RESERVE SEATS FOR ME BY EMAIL? I WILL PAY WHEN I COLLECT THE TICKETS.
No, sorry, we cannot do this. Tickets are not "reserved" until purchased. They
cannot be held for you against future payment.
· ARE YOUR
PRICES IN U.S., OR CANADIAN DOLLARS?
All our quoted prices are in Canadian dollars.
· ARE
THERE TAXES ON TICKETS?
Tax is included in the quoted ticket price; it is not added on.
· I AM A
VISITOR TO CANADA. CAN I GET A REFUND ON THE GST WHEN I LEAVE THE COUNTRY?
Unfortunately, no. Refunds are given only on taxes paid on goods purchased in
Canada and exported, unused, from Canada. Your theatre ticket is considered
"used" in Canada and the tax paid on it is not refundable.
· CAN I
ASK THE CAST TO SING HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO AUNT BETTY?
No, not while there is an audience in the theatre. You may certainly ask the
cast, crew and front-of-house staff to stay late and perform privately for you,
but you will then be responsible for paying them, not to mention renting the
theatre.
· CAN I BE
PUT ON A MAILING LIST TO BE NOTIFIED OF SPECIAL OFFERS AND UPCOMING EVENTS?
Yes you can! Just
email to
manager@kctc.ca or call us at 705-945-7309.
