Have Questions? Here are a few of our most common answers…
What Time Should I Arrive?
While the show time may vary (typically 7:30pm on Friday & Saturday, and either 6pm or 2pm on Sunday), we suggest you arrive early and enjoy a glass of beer or wine before the show.
Where Should I Park?
The parking garage on 18th and Eye is a great spot. You can also have Dinner at the Mark before our performance, and use their valet parking until after the show.
What If I Missed the Show and Already Purchased Tickets?
Not to worry! If you forgot or missed the show, we do allow you to transfer your tickets to another night.
What Do I Wear?
Dress for the Ovation Theatre is Casual to Nice (slacks preferred). Dress comfortably, but also to enjoy the professional theatre environment!
Do You Serve Alcohol?
We do serve mixed drinks, local & brand-name beers (draft options available) and great wines. We’ve personally taste-tested every offering to make sure they meet our standards.
Do You Sell Season Tickets?
We do! Who doesn’t want more of a great thing? You can purchase season tickets on our website HERE.
