WHAT INFORMATION IS NEEDED TO MAKE A RESERVATION?

  • To make a reservation, all you'll need is a head count of students, teachers, and chaperones attending. Since our performances often sell out, we recommend aiming high to ensure every student can attend, and then you can always change your numbers before you make your final payment. Chaperones are non-staff. All teachers and school staff (nurses, bus drivers, student teachers, etc) are free, but chaperones must pay.

  • We'll get additional information from you like school name, grade, and teacher contact information. We'll send you a reservation confirmation by the end of the week, and then you'll receive your invoice no later than one week after your reservation is made.

WHEN IS PAYMENT DUE?

  • A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your reservation. Deposits for all productions are due in early fall. Specific deposit dates will be assigned upon reserving.

  • Full payments are due 4 weeks prior to performance date. Unpaid reservations are subject to cancellation.

 

WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE FINAL CLASS NUMBERS BEFORE RESERVATIONS OPEN?

  • That’s ok! We anticipate number changes throughout the year. We can change your reservation numbers (pending availability) up until final payments are due.

  • We recommend aiming high in your number estimate, then adjusting later when you have a final count.

 

WHAT IF I HAVEN’T GOTTEN PRINCIPAL APPROVAL BEFORE RESERVATIONS OPEN?

  • We recommend reserving your group even if the trip hasn't been approved yet, as reservations fill up very quickly. Our school time performances always have lengthy waiting lists, so you if you have to cancel your reservation, another school will be happy to take your spot!

 

HOW TO RESERVE

  • Reservations open Tues, Aug 4, 2026 at 9:00am. Reservations cannot be taken before this date.

  • We anticipate a high volume of calls on August 4, so please keep calling if you don't get us right away!

  • Call 864-583-4891 to reserve your seats.

  • Reservations cannot be made by e-mail on the morning of the first day. An online reservation form will open the afternoon of August 4.

  • Reservations go fast. We recommend calling on the first day that reservations open!
