PURCHASING A TICKET
Where can I find a performance schedule?
All upcoming and currently playing productions, their performance dates, location(s), and scheduled start time(s) can be found on our website here.
How can I purchase a ticket?
Cornerstone does not have a traditional box office. The best way of securing tickets to a performance is online via our website, or at the door on the evening of the performance.
What are your ticket prices?
Ticket prices vary for each production. Our shows are primarily free or pay-what-you-can with a suggested donation amount. Please see the specific show’s webpage for more information.
What does “pay-what-you-can” mean?
“Pay-What-You-Can” means that you pay what is financially feasible for you to contribute. Often there is a suggested donation, with a specific dollar amount attached to it, but that amount is not required for “Pay-What-You-Can” tickets.
Are ticket discounts available?
Cornerstone prides itself on providing a quality theatrical experience to communities in and around the Los Angeles area. Many of our performances are free, pay-what-you-can, or have a nominal admission price. As a result of our already-low prices we do not currently offer any additional ticket discounts. If you have additional questions, please contact us at tickets@cornerstonetheater.org.
If the show I want to see is sold out, what can I do?
We recommend that you arrive at least an hour before the schedule start time of the performance, to put your name on a waiting list. We will release all unclaimed tickets to patrons on the waiting list on a first-come first-served basis at the scheduled start time of each performance.
ATTENDING A SHOW
Do you provide special accommodations?
We make every effort to accommodate the needs of every patron and seek performance spaces that are easily accessible for our patrons. If you have specific needs please contact us at tickets@cornerstonetheater.org and we will make every effort to assist you.
Do you have assisted listening devices available?
Due to the non-traditional spaces that Cornerstone performs in, assisted listening devices may not be available. If you have concerns regarding your enjoyment of the performance please see a member of the Cornerstone staff or volunteer when you arrive to your performance. We will make every effort to assist you.
When do you start seating people?
Each production is slightly different and seating will begin dependent on that production’s seating configuration and specifications. We advise planning for seating to begin approximate 30-45 minutes prior to the scheduled start time. Most productions are general admission so we recommend arriving early to secure your desired seat(s).
Can I be seated if I am late?
We try our best to accommodate everyone who wishes to see the performance. However, we cannot promise a seat to anyone who arrives late even if you are in possession of a ticket. All unfilled seats, unclaimed tickets/reservations will be released to those on the waiting list at the scheduled start time of the performance.
Do you serve concessions and/or alcohol at your performances?
We generally do not serve concessions at our performances. However, each production is different and, depending on the venue that the show is being performed at, concessions may be available.
Can I take pictures of and/or record a performance?
No. Recording devices are prohibited at all Cornerstone productions.
