Shenkman Arts Centre – FAQ for Theatre Performances
Ticket holders
Information regarding shows missed due to COVID-19: The status of some missed performances remains on hold. As shows become rescheduled or cancelled, ticket holders will be contacted. If you have not heard about the missed show, it is because the presenter still intends to reschedule the show. Should you wish, exchanges and refunds of those tickets will be granted, and administrative fees will be waived.
Q: If a performance is cancelled, when and how will I receive a refund?
If you purchased tickets online for an event that is cancelled, refunds will be processed through our online ticketing partner and returned to your credit card.
If you purchased tickets over the phone or in person, we will call you to refund your purchase. Refunds can be processed in-person at the Shenkman Arts Centre. See the Hours page for hours of operation.
Q: If a performance is postponed, what do I do?
If you are holding tickets for a performance that is postponed, we will announce the new dates as soon as possible. Your current tickets will be honoured for that date, or we will refund you at your request if you are unable to attend the new date.
