During inclement weather, allow extra travel time, as the Theatre does not cancel or delay performances due to weather.

- Do I really need to fill out the seat tracking form included in my ticket packet?

Yes. We request and recommend that all group leaders fill out the seat assignment form with the full name and seat location of all your group members. This form is basically an insurance policy. If one of your members were to lose their ticket it would be impossible to reseat them without knowing exactly where they sat. Also, this form allows us to quickly and quietly pull someone out of the theater in case of an emergency.

Everyone of any age is welcome at CTC. Please note that we do not recommend attendance by any child under the age of three in the United HealthGroup Stage unless specifically recommended for preschool age.

Yes. For productions on the UnitedHealth Group Stage Lap Passes are available for children ages three and under. For productions on the Cargill Stage Lap Passes are available for children 18 months and younger. Lap passes can only be purchased at the ticket office on the day of the show. Contact Group Sales for pricing.

- When will the length of the show be announced?

As all CTC productions are live performances, running times may vary. However, we will try to announce the running time after Opening night. Approximate running times may be published based on prior performances or staged readings of productions but these are subject to change during preview week.

- Is there an intermission?

Most shows will have a 15 minute intermission, however some shows will not.

- Can my group sit together?

Public Group tickets are assigned at the time of booking. CTC will do its best to be sure groups are seated together.
