TICKET PRICES + POLICIES

Tickets are $12 per seat for students and $15 per seat for teachers/parents.. A complimentary teacher ticket is included with every 10 student seats purchased.

Payment is non-refundable. Once an invoice is paid, a refund will not be issued due to student absences, transfers, or dislike of a performance. The Executive Director reserves the right to cancel a show due to weather-related occurrences. However, in most instances, the show will go on even if only one school is able to attend. If a show is cancelled due to weather, or your school system is closed, Dixie PAC will attempt to offer available make-up days. If that is not possible, Dixie PAC will offer to apply the funds to another upcoming school time production.
