Yes. You may exchange tickets to a Manitowoc performance for a Sheboygan performance of the same show or visa versa as long as you follow the guidelines above.
Why Does Dare to Dream Theatre offer the same production in more than one location during the run of the show?
Since there are cast members from more than one community in the cast, we do our best to present the show in both communities to make the show accessible to friends and family of all cast members.
I have tickets to a performance, but due to an emergency or last minute change of plans, I am unable to attend. What are my options?
We understand that sometimes our friends are unable to attend their scheduled performance because of an emergency or last minute change of plans. In such cases we want to work with you to allow you to attend a different performance.
Dare to Deam Theatre offers the following procedure to accommodate friends who miss their show.
-
You can use your tickets as Standby tickets.
-
We will begin a Standby list 30 minutes prior to the beginning of a sold out performance. If we have any unpaid pre-reserved tickets at the time of the show, we can sell you Standby tickets for $5 each. All you need to do is bring your original tickets with you and let someone at the box office know you’d like to be put on standby.
-
-
If there are no seats available during the run of the production that fit your schedule, we can offer tickets to a different production during the season at half the ticket price.
Please note these options are only valid if completed before the show's closing date.
May I donate my tickets?
Yes. If you cannot attend your performance and do not wish to exchange, your tickets may be donated for tax credit. Simply return your tickets in person or by mail to the Ticket Office before the scheduled performance.

Will there be a performance at the end of the class?
Due to the process based storytelling format, Drama Quest Programs do not have presentations.
The Actor in You Series has informal presentations as follows:
-
Level 1: Parents are invited to arrive 10 minutes early to pick up their child. During these final 10 minutes of each session, students will present what they worked on during that session.
-
Level 2: Students will be building on skills each session throughout the program. An informal presentation of this work will be shared during the last 30-45 minutes of the last day of the class. Details will be provided in the parent update e-mail sent out after each session.
-
Level 3: Students will be working with classmates on scene work. Parents will receive an invite to an informal presentation of these scenes at the end of the session. This is often presented in an afternoon or evening gathering outside of normal class sessions.
-
Level 4: Students will be the production team and performers of a fully realized performance. Tickets will be available to the public for the final presentation.
What happens if I want to cancel the class?

If you cancel your registration at least two weeks before the class begins, we will refund tuition, less a $10 registration fee per class.

If you cancel your registration less than two weeks before the class starts, any tuition paid for the cancelled class becomes a credit, which you may use towards either Academy tuition or tickets for 365 days from the date of cancellation.
