This program promotes the accessibility of theatre and deepens ties between artists and members of the community. The recent expansion of this program helps to remove the financial barrier to theatre attendance for a wider range of students.  Click here for more information or to book tickets.

FAQs

• Admission and Re-admission to the Theatre

  If you must exit the theatre before a scheduled break, please do so as quickly and quietly as possible.

  Re-admission to the theatre will occur at the discretion of the house manager.

  At some performances, especially those performances without an intermission, patrons who leave the theatre prior to the end of the performance may not be able to be re-admitted to the theatre.

  Round House Theatre reserves the right to refuse admission to anyone.

• Cameras and Recording Devices

  Camera and recording devices are not allowed in the theatre. Use of such devices may result in ejection without refund.

• Cancelled Performances

  Round House reserves the right to make schedule and production changes at any time. When possible, we will contact all ticket holders regarding the cancellation of a specific performance. Please make sure to provide a phone number or email address when ordering to ensure we can reach you.

• Cell Phones, Pagers, Watch Alarms, and Electronic Devices

  Please turn off all cell phones, pagers, watches, and other electronic devices upon entering the theatre.

  Please don’t text during the performance—it is distracting to actors and audience members alike.

  Please remember to turn your devices off at the end of intermission.

• Content Guidance
  We at Round House want patrons to feel informed and empowered about their theatregoing experiences, so we are sharing advisories for each upcoming production. If you have specific questions or concerns, please call our Box Office at 240.644.1100. Please note that content advisory information below may reveal plot information. Please also note that content advisories will be updated as necessary.
• Children

  Children under the age of 4 will not be admitted to performances at Round House.

  All patrons, including children, must have a ticket in order to be admitted.

  House Management may ask patrons (including children and their parents) who create a disturbance to leave the theatre. There are no refunds or exchanges for patrons who are asked to leave the theatre.

• Curtain Times and Late Seating

  Round House performances begin promptly at the appointed time.

  Latecomers will be seated solely at the discretion of the house manager at the designated late seating break.

  Latecomers will be seated in the nearest available seats and will be permitted to move to their regular seats at intermission.

  No refunds will be issued to latecomers.

• Dress Code

  There’s no dress code at Round House. Generally, we advise patrons to avoid wearing their fanciest tuxedoes or their most hole-ridden jeans. Anything falling between those extremes is usually alright when attending a play at Round House.

  Many patrons dress in business casual for regular performances and in formal business attire for Opening Nights. It’s your choice!

• Food and Drink

  No food is allowed in the theatre. Drinks in non-glass containers with tops are allowed.
