50% DEPOSIT: Large group reservations require a 50% deposit in advance. The balance of your reservation may be paid on the day of your performance. Deposits and final payments are non-refundable.
10% RULE: If your reservation head count drops by more than 10% on the day of performance, you will pay for your original reservation less 10% of that count. Example: You reserve 100 seats, but bring only 60 people. You will be charged for your original reservation of 100 less 10% (10 seats), or 90 seats.
REFUNDS: We do not issue refunds of any kind. If you are paying for your reservation via check, please make sure the check is written for the correct amount. We cannot issue "change" if you pay by check. Deposits and final payments are non-refundable.
INCLEMENT WEATHER: "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these thespians from the completion of their appointed play." In other words, we perform no matter what the weather. As such, deposits and final payments are non-refundable.
RESERVATION CHANGES: If you are adding to your reservation, you should call earlier as we may not be able to accommodate additional seating for your group. Deadline for reducing your head count is November 28, 2012. After that date, the "10% Rule" will be applied to your balance.
PAYMENT: Make checks payable to: SSC Performing Arts Center. Cash and purchase orders are also accepted. We do not accept credit or debit cards. If paying in cash, please visit your bank, if necessary, to change your cash into something easily countable. If you do bring a large pile of $1 bills, we may have to wait until after the performance to deliver your receipt.
RUNNING TIME: Rumplestiltskin is approximately one hour and five minutes long.
SEATING: Seating arrangements are at the sole discretion of the theatre manager. We do our best to seat small children near the front, but that is not always possible. Our main objective is to keep your group seated together, to ensure no lost children. A few days prior to the performance, you will receive a seating chart which marks your group's location. Please let us know at the time of your reservation if you require wheelchair seating.

Weekend (Saturday) Shows - How To Make A Reservation
Be sure to leave the following information:
We will hold your tickets for you at the door. Please come to the theatre at one half hour prior to the performance. Ask for the tickets in your name and you can pick them up and pay for them at that time.
Email:
-- Your Name, and the correct spelling
-- The number of tickets you'd like
-- Performance Date
-- Performance Time
-- Your Phone Number
Q: Do teachers or chaperones pay? Does my 1 year old need a ticket? They will sit in my lap.
Q: Is this a musical? Is this the Disney version?
A: Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp is an original adaptation of one of the original tales of "The Arabian Nights" and as such, is neither a musical or the Disney version.
Q: Do I need to use my credit card to hold my tickets?
A: No. We accept cash and checks only. We reserve tickets on the "honour system." If you need to cancel your reservation, please let us know!
Q: If we're late, will we still be able to get in to see the show?
A: We cannot guarantee that we will seat late arrivals, nor can we guarantee there will be space available at another show time. Please be courteous to the other groups who did arrive on time. If you need to make more than one trip to bring your group here, you need to make sure your final group arrives NO LATER than 15 minutes prior to the stated show time.
Q: Our group will be carpooling and everyone won't arrive at the same time. How should we pay?
A: If your group arrives separately, please arrange for payment to be collected or made by one person.
Q: May I bring snacks to the show?
A: We do not allow food or drink in the theatre. We have EXTREMELY limited facilites for group lunch space on campus. Please call for more information.
Q: What time do the doors to the theatre open?
A: We open the house for seating 45 minutes to one-half hour before the performance begins. Please be prompt so we can start on time.
Q: Where do I park and is there a charge?
A: The parking lot is directly across from the Kindig Performing Arts Center. Parking at South Suburban College is FREE.
Q: May I take pictures during the show?
A: Flash photography is not allowed as it disturbs the actors and may cause momentary "blindness," which is dangerous. Turn your flash OFF. Additionally, videotaping of performances is a copyright violation and is not allowed per our agreement with the playwright. This includes the small "movies" than can be taken with digital cameras. We take our agreement with the playwright seriously. We will confiscate your camera for the remainder of the show and erase any movies.
Q: Is this show appropriate for a 1 year old? 12 year old?
A: The age appropriateness really depends upon the child. Some 1 year olds will enjoy watching the colored lights, hearing the music and seeing the movement on the stage, while other wee ones of that age are frightened of the noise. For older kids, it depends on how much they enjoy seeing live theatre performances. Our children's shows don't "talk down" to kids; however, your child or students may have reached that stage when they are "too cool" to come to a play geared for younger audiences. Use your best judgment when deciding what age group to bring to the show.
We sell soda and baked goods in the lobby of the Performing Arts Center before the show on Saturdays only. The line at the concession stand can get rather long. This is another reason to come early.
We no longer allowing food or drink in the theatre. You may NOT bring your goodies into the theatre.
Soda is 50 cents a cup and baked goods are generally 50 cents per item.
Flash photography is not allowed during the performance as the flash can disturb the actors.
Videotaping of performances is not allowed per our agreement with the playwright. Our own television department may videotape the performance for use in public relations materials. This recording will not be sold or distributed to individuals outside the college.
