We invite you to join us for the traditional Sidewalk Ticket Sale on Saturday, November 18, 2023 from 9:00 a.m. through 12:00 p.m. at our theater at 108 East Street, Annapolis, MD 21401. Tickets to each in-person performance will be available on a first come, first served basis. The following conditions apply:

  • Tickets are $10.00 per person. All patrons must have a ticket to attend a performance, regardless of age. Young children may sit on a parent’s lap during the performance, however, they still must have their own ticket.
  • Payment for tickets must be made with cash or check only.
  • Each patron present may purchase a maximum of eight (8) tickets. Each patron ordering tickets must be old enough to communicate their ticket order themselves to the Box Office staff.
  • All ticket sales are final; no exchanges will be permitted.
  • Patron contact information will be collected for each order via an online form that you can fill out while waiting in line. This information will be used to assist in completing your transaction when you reach the lobby as well as to contact you in the unlikely event that changes to performance scheduling are necessary.
  • Line cutting will not be permitted; you may not join someone already in line ahead of other patrons. Each patron will be given a sequentially numbered coupon when they join the ticket line, and patrons will be admitted to the lobby in numerical order.
  • All tickets will be provided via email; no tickets will be printed at the sale. Ticket options are as follows:
    • Mobile Tickets: Each ticket can be displayed on a smart phone as a QR Code for entry to the theater. Additionally, you can easily transfer individual tickets from your order to family and friends via email.
    • Print-at-Home Tickets: Tickets from your order can be printed on your printer at home.
  • Wheelchair seats will be available for purchase at the sale for those with accessibility needs.
