Service animals are welcome at Cain Center for the Arts and allowed anywhere in the building that their handler is allowed. A service animal is defined by the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) as (1) a dog (2) individually trained to do work or perform tasks (3) for the benefit an individual with a disability (including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability). Therapy animals, comfort pets, companion animals, and “social/therapy” animals are not considered service animals and are not allowed in Cain Center.

All performances begin promptly at the listed event time. We recommend that you plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early to account for parking and traffic.

Latecomers will be seated at the discretion of the house manager. Appropriate seating areas and times for latecomers are at the sole discretion of the House Manager and will vary by production. Guests who arrive after the start of the performance will be directed to wait until an appropriate break and then may be seated in designated late seating other than the ticketed seat locations.

This includes texting during performances. If you need to use your device during the performance, please go to the lobby.

In the event the performance is postponed/rescheduled, patrons will have the option to receive a refund or retain their tickets and use them at the rescheduled performance. All retained tickets from the originally scheduled performance will be honored at the rescheduled date. Guests wishing to receive a refund will be given a specified deadline and instructions for requesting the refund. Refund requests received after the deadline has passed will not be granted. When a performance is cancelled, refunds will be issued at the original point of purchase. Event Ticket Protector is not refundable when a performance is cancelled. If Cain Center issues you a refund for a ticket, it will issue a refund of the ticket’s face value paid. In no event will delivery charges or any other fees or amounts be refunded. If a refund is issued, it will be issued back to the original point of purchase. 

If you are unable to attend a performance, you may donate your tickets back to Cain Center to be used by a family or group who otherwise couldn’t attend.  If an event is cancelled or rescheduled, you may also elect to donate your tickets back rather than receiving a refund or retaining the tickets for the rescheduled event.

Donated tickets will be given to local charities and nonprofits for their participants to enjoy Cain Center for the Arts. No donated tickets will be resold.

With a relatively low number of tickets available for each event (for our 400-seat theatre), we strive to bring the best events at the best possible price. One way to keep our ticket prices manageable is to prevent ticket gouging. Each ticket purchased from us is a revocable license to attend a particular performance. In making a purchase you are agreeing to not resell any ticket for more than $1 above face value. Reselling tickets at an increased price is strictly prohibited and can result in having your ticket revoked. Cain Center is not responsible for tickets purchased through third parties.
