Welcome

On The House
A Community Ticket Access Program

One of Round House Theatre’s deepest held values is to ensure our work is accessible to patrons of all ages, cultural backgrounds, economic groups, and physical ability. Our commitment to access has led to the development of more inclusive and diverse programming on and off stage, as well as recent improvements to our renovated facility. Our FREE PLAY program has already provided thousands of free tickets to high school and college students throughout the region. Now, we’re taking the next step to remove barriers that can make it difficult for some members of our community to experience our work.

ON THE HOUSE is a community ticket access program that provides complimentary group tickets to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and community-serving organizations with a 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor who are interested in sharing the enjoyment of live theatre with their constituents.

Please note that Round House will require that patrons be vaccinated and wear masks while attending performances at our theatre. Every member of your group must present a photo ID and show proof that they meet the CDC definition of being fully vaccinated at the time of entry to into the theatre. Guests who are exempt from vaccination must provide proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within 48 hours of the performance start time. For more information, visit RoundHouseTheatre.org/Safety.

Please email us at JJiang@RoundHouseTheatre.org with any questions.
