Invited Final Dress Rehearsal
This performance takes place the evening prior to opening night; curtain is typically at 7:30 p.m. There is no admission charge, and all Theatre and Dance majors are encouraged to attend. Invited Dress Rehearsals are not not open to the public, and seating is limited. A valid student ID may be required for admission.
Major's Pass
The major's pass has been discontinued effective fall of 2015 and has been replaced with the Major's Ticket Package.
Major's Ticket Package - Save 30%!
Available exclusively to Department of Theatre and Dance majors, the package provides six tickets to the 2015-2016 Theatre and Dance performances at a savings of 30% off student ticket prices. Best yet, the package allows majors to secure their ticket in advance of the performance and thereby guarantee their seat. Students may purchase the package on the department's TXShop Store.
The cost is $60 for the academic year.
For 2015-2016, the ticket packages may be used to order tickets for the following productions: The Diary of Anne Frank, The Wild Party, Fall For Dance, Twelfth Night, Bodies & Souls, and UTNT (UT New Theatre). Buy the package at any time online at the Theatre and Dance Store. The six tickets may be distributed in any combination the student chooses (i.e. three tickets to one show, two tickets to two shows, etc.).
