GROUP SALES

WHAT IS A GROUP?

The Contemporary American Theater Festival considers ten or more people attending a performance a group. Group sales must be made under one account. Groups receive discounted tickets and the opportunity to schedule workshops, backstage tours, and discussions with CATF staff.

Reservations

Group Sales Inquiry Form

Please start by filling out the group sales inquiry form, which can be found here. Once received, the Box Office will send an invoice. The tickets are held for two weeks without a deposit. A 25% deposit must be made during that time frame, or the tickets will be released. The remaining balance must be paid two weeks before the group’s first performance. Subject to availability, additional tickets can be added at any time. The original group rate will apply.  

Personalize Your Experience

If you wish to schedule workshops, backstage tours, or other personalized opportunities with CATF artists and staff, make sure to let us know on the group inquiry form, which can be found here. 

Parking & Accessibility 

All three venues are accessible and bus parking is available. Should any member of your party require accommodations (specific seating needs, Assisted Listening Devices, etc.) make note on the inquiry form or as soon as the needs of your group members are known. The sooner we have this information, the better we can serve your group.
