Box Office Information

Our Box Office can take care of all your ticketing needs

We offer a secure site to purchase online. You will automatically be given the best available seats. During the ticketing process you will be told which seats are the best available. When you've obtained your seating location go on to the secure check out and pay with any major credit card. You may have your tickets mailed to you at an additional cost of $3; otherwise the tickets will be available at Will Call.

Tickets are available by calling 352-375-4477. Our tickets are also available online.

Season Subscriptions:

Season subscriptions are available for the 2007 - 2008 season. There are six plays scheduled for the season. You get the same seats for every performance. Of particular interest is the subscription to the opening nights for the entire season, complete with a chance to meet the cast afterwards. Or choose the Flex Subscription option: attend the shows you want, when you want.
