With nothing to lose, the pair decides to create something new with the help of their friends.  “[title of show]”—taken from the space on the festival's application form which asks for the "[title of show]"— follows four friends on their hilarious and heartfelt journey through the gauntlet of creative self-expression, as they endeavor to write a musical about writing a musical!

PICK YOUR PRICE TICKETS


"Pick Your Price" tickets are geared towards making our plays more accessible to all.

When purchasing a ticket, you'll be given three different price options. Please choose the ticket price that makes the most sense for you 
– based on what you can afford and how you'd like to show your support.
​
ENCORE PRICE - starts at $54
When you buy this ticket, you help underwrite our shows by paying closer to the actual price it costs per seat to produce our plays. You also help increase access for other community members so they can attend our shows, too.

BRAVO PRICE - starts at $44
This represents our standard price for a ticket and this is what we recommend you buy if you've been to our shows before. 

APPLAUSE PRICE - starts at $34
This is our entry level price for patrons who want to try attending a show for the first time. It's also for those who feel that the other prices are outside their budget this year.

​We've also eliminated transaction fees, so you can purchase online, over the phone, or in person without an extra charge.
Over the years, we've noticed our pricing hasn't worked for everyone. Some patrons can comfortably afford our tickets while others have found our pricing a challenge. So, we've decided to take action!  We're trying a new ticket model, called "Pick Your Price" which aims to increase access so more folks can come to our shows and experience live theatre. Thanks for giving this new idea a try! 

WHICH TICKET SHOULD I BUY?
We encourage you to purchase the "Bravo Price” ticket which starts at $44 and is typically what we charge for our shows. If you are able, we hope you'll consider purchasing an “Encore Price” ticket which starts at $54. You'll be creating opportunities for more patrons to attend, while supporting the artists and staff who make Vermont Stage possible.  If neither of these options work for you, no problem! We've created an "Applause Price” ticket which starts at $34. We're so grateful to have you attend a Vermont Stage show!

WHY SHOULD I BUY AN ENCORE PRICE TICKET?
It costs a lot more to produce our plays than what we charge at the box office. In fact, if we were to charge our actual costs to attend, we'd need to charge each audience member $84 per seat!  When you're an "Encore Price" Ticket Buyer, you're helping us recoup some of our costs. You're also supporting the attendance of patrons who may not be able to afford standard prices, providing an opportunity for more people to experience live theatre! Thanks for supporting our community, and our theatre, in this way!
