You will receive a full season brochure in about 3 weeks.As a past season subscriber, you are the first to see this and have first

option to purchase tickets. For this year, a season subscription will again be 7 shows. Instead of the seventh and least expensive show being free, each

show will be discounted 10%.Season subscribers can order tickets starting now. In order to keep your

preferred seats please return your order form by July 16. Box office staff will be happy to compute your discount and confirm with you before processing your order.

Please call the box office with any questions. Our thanks to each and every one of you for your patience and your ongoing support. See you soon!
