Are you affiliated with the Tigard Schools?

No. We lease the New Stage theatre and rent the Deb Fennell Auditorium for the
summer productions from the Tigard/Tualatin School District. Tigard High
School
students frequently participate in our internship program
by serving on our tech crew, but we are not part of the
school's programming.

What is a preview performance?
|
The first performance of every Mainstage show is our preview performance.
Traditionally a preview is a full performance that falls before the press opening
and is the last night that the director can make adjustments to the show. These
performances also have a reduced price to help build word of mouth. Tickets
for all preview performances are $21 per person. A great show at a great price!

|
What is an audio described performance?
|
We offer one audio described performance on the last Saturday matinee of each
Mainstage performance. These performances are designed to help our visually
impaired patrons “see” the show through an audio describer in the technical
booth. While the show is going on, the audio describer describes the action
that is happening on stage. That description is transmitted via a wireless system
that the patron wears during the show. Unless you are wearing a receiver you
will not even know that a description is taking place. We have a limited number
of receivers for use and they are reserved on a first come, first served basis the
day of the performance.

Stage Auditorium includes removable seats to accommodate special needs. If

What happens if I'm late to a show?
|
To cause the least amount of disruption to the performance
and the other patrons, and to ensure safety, if you arrive
late you will be seated at the discretion of the house
manager. You might not be seated in your assigned seat
until intermission. In some cases, late seating may not be
permitted.

ages are welcomed to the summer children's productions. Children under two
years of age sitting on parent's laps are free to the children's productions.

Do I have to dress up to come to the theater?
|
The Broadway Rose requires the basics (shirt, shoes, etc.)
but beyond that, come as you like and be comfortable!
Casual dress is fine, so is your Sunday best. The key is to
enjoy the show!

headshots/resumes and taped auditions from all over the
country. We hire union and non-union performers.
