GROUP RESERVATION INFORMATION

Group Reservations for Student Matinee performances are taken over the phone during regular Box Office hours, 12:00 noon to 6:00pm, Monday through Friday, (800) 995-5222 ext. 4040 or (440) 366-4040. Ticket Contracts are issued and must be signed and returned to the Stocker Arts Center by the date indicated in order to guarantee your reservations. Stocker Arts Center is accessible for students with special needs, including parking, seating and restrooms. We enthusiastically welcome everyone to all performances! Wheelchair seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. A new Hearing Assistance System was installed last season and free headsets for the hearing impaired are available. Please indicate your specific needs when you reserve your tickets so that we’re ready to assist you when you arrive. One free ticket will be provided for every 20 students. Additional chaperones and parents are welcome to attend any Student Matinee performance at the published ticket price.

PLEASE NOTE: To be respectful of the performers and those who arrive on time, the Student Matinee performances will start on time! Please plan to be here no later than 15 minutes prior to curtain time. Once the show begins, we will not be able to seat you and your group until an appropriate break in the performance so that your late seating does not disrupt the performance for the other patrons. 

GROUP PAYMENT INFORMATION

Payment by cash, check, credit card or purchase order is due by the date listed on the Ticket Contract. Payment must cover the tickets reserved and confirmed on the Contract. Because we’ve saved that number of seats for you and your school and not sold them to another group, there are no refunds or cancellations for no-shows after your signed Ticket Contract is received by the Stocker Arts Center.

PARKING INFORMATION

Free parking for buses, cars and vans is provided adjacent to the theatre and Stocker Arts Center personnel will be on hand to provide assistance. No prior arrangements are necessary.

TEACHER STUDY GUIDE INFORMATION

When the performing company provides us with Teacher Study Guides prior to a performance, we are happy to send them to all of the teachers who will be attending. Please let the Box Office know the names of the teachers from your school who are coming to the performances so that the Box Office can send the Study Guides directly to them to allow them to better prepare their students for the performance. We are also happy to send them to any Home Schools or individuals who request them.
