Help! The performance of Class C I want to attend says “sold out” or “not available” - what can I do?

We suggest keeping an eye on the performance calendar as we do receive cancellations and will release tickets as they become available

SHOW UP!
We begin a waiting list *on-site* 1 hour before each performance. We have been successful in getting everyone in, but that is not a guarantee - particularly during the final weekend of performances.

"...the cast of four is a highlight. Amanda Schoonover plays Allie, expertly dipping between anger and tenderness....David Pica makes an impassioned appearance as a man toiling with the loss of his own privileges.... Espinoza viscerally portrays his character's inner and outer pain. Ciera Gardner provides much-needed levity...."

Thank you to nat čermák and Broad Street Review for the wonderful review of the show!

"In this production, the cast of four is a highlight.... The production’s simple, elegant design choices work together to create an atmosphere that feels both intimate and decayed.... Martin’s ability to stretch a scene’s tension remains palpable, and successfully elicits a great deal of pathos."
