The following discounts are available on regular price tickets through the Box Office only at 202.547.1122, option 3, or at the Box Office window. Discounted tickets are subject to availability and not valid for Opening Nights, 10:00 a.m. matinees or Friday or Saturday evening performances during the regular run, unless noted.

Senior Citizens (60 years and older)
20% discount

35 and Under
Aimed at building younger audiences, the Shakespeare Theatre Company introduces the 20/10 discount ticket program for the 2007-2008 season. Every Tuesday starting at 10 a.m., the Shakespeare Theatre Company will release 20 pairs of $10 tickets to the Company productions taking place through the following Sunday to patrons ages 35 and younger.  If the Company has two productions running simultaneously, then 20 pairs will be released for each production.  The tickets will be sold in person at the Sidney Harman Hall Box Office (610 F St. NW) as well as via phone at 202.547.1122. ID is required to pick up tickets.

Student Preview Week Discounts (see "The Fine Print" below)
NEW! Students may receive $10 tickets purchased for preview week performances. (Preview Week is the first week in the public run of each play — usually the first Tuesday through Sunday.) These tickets can be ordered in advance via telephone. Students must identify themselves as such at the time of purchase and present a student ID when picking up the tickets to get tickets at $10 each. Service charges apply.

Student Regular Run Discounts (see "The Fine Print" below)
Students can also receive a 50% discount for performances later in the run on tickets purchased within one hour of curtain (based on availability). Available only at the window.

The Fine Print for Student Preview Week and Regular Run Discounts
Discounts are intended for full-time students only. Valid student ID may be requested when purchasing or picking up tickets at the Will Call window. Student discounted tickets are based on seat availability and may not be used in conjunction with other discounts or applied to previously purchased tickets. No exchanges or refunds are allowed.

Standing Room (SRO)
Standing room tickets are available for sold-out performances at the Lansburgh Theatre only and go on sale one hour before the performance. Standing room tickets are $10 cash only, there is a limit of two per person, and they can be purchased only in person at the Lansburgh Box Office. Standing room patrons are NOT seated even when there are empty seats due to latecomers or no-shows.

Previews
Preview performances take place prior to Opening and are priced less than the regular run of a production. Tickets for previews are very limited — call our at 202.547.1122 about the availability of these tickets.

C & D Seats
There are a limited number of cheaper C and D seats in the theatre. These seats usually have an obstructed view of the stage (please see the seating chart) for seat locations). Call our Box Office at 202.547.1122 about the availability of these tickets.
