Do you have a waiting list for sold out shows?
No, we don’t maintain a waiting list because all sales
are final, with no refunds or exchanges on tickets once they are
purchased. Will call tickets are prepaid and will be held at the
gate for their purchasers.
Do you offer Group Tickets?
A group consists of 20 or more people attending
the same performance. LST provides one complimentary
ticket for a group of 20, and two complimentary tickets
for a group of 40 or more. Two complimentary tickets
is the maximum provided to any group. Group seating
begins in row 10.
Group reservations may be made starting February 1 through
the third week in May, and again one week after the summer
box office opens in June of each year, by calling 509.548.2000. LST
requires a 50% deposit by Visa or MasterCard, plus a $20
transaction fee for the initial reservation. Seating
reservations are not made until the deposit is received. There
will be a $15 transaction fee for each additional change
to your reservation.
If an order is cancelled before six weeks prior to the
performance date, the deposit is returned, less a $35 cancellation
fee, and all other accumulated transaction fees. If
a cancellation notice is not received by that date, the
balance due will be charged to the credit card. No
refunds, changes, or cancellations may be made within six
weeks of the performance date, or after tickets are issued.
Cancellation dates are slightly different for the Christmas
show. Call the box office for a Christmas show
policy sheet and further information.
If you have questions or need further information, please
contact the box office at 509.548.2000.
Can I bring the kids?
Infants and children under 5 are not admitted; however
older children are welcome. Elementary school age children especially
love The Sound of Music and many families make the show an annual
family vacation highlight!
Leavenworth Summer Theater strives to provide a distraction-free
environment in which patrons can enjoy quality theatrical experiences.
Due to the intimacy of the theater sites and in an effort to
provide a positive experience for all ticket buyers, the theater
does not admit infants or children under five years.
When do the gates open at the theater? Gates for the
summer shows open one hour before show time. Doors open for
the Christmas show 1/2 hour before showtime.
Is seating reserved?
All shows are reserved seeting.
Tell me a brief history of the theater.
Leavenworth Summer Theater began as the vision of John and Susan Wagner
and Bill Weis in 1994. That opening season was hampered by devastating fires
in the Leavenworth area in addition to the normal first year struggles, and
the theater suffered severe financial losses. The Wagners decided to give it
one more try in the summer of 1995 with a production of The Sound of Music.
A great cast, a terrific outdoor location, and the natural compatibility of
the show with Leavenworth's Bavarian theme created a sensationally successful
production. Today, Leavenworth Summer Theater is the largest theater between
Seattle and Spokane, with more than 20,000 people expected for this year's
productions.
What’s the weather like?
Summer is usually dry in Leavenworth, and rainouts are rare. Many people
travel great distances to see our shows, so we will plan to go on with the
show whenever possible. If conditions should cause us to cancel a show before
intermission, you may call the box office and a refund check will be mailed
to you within six weeks. Refunds will not be available on site. In any event,
it is wise to bring a warm jacket and cap, as the dry mountain air cools
rapidly after sunset. Umbrellas are not permitted since they block the view
of other guests.
How far is it from Seattle?
It’s usually a 2 to 2 1/2 hour drive depending
on traffic. You should allow at least an extra hour in
case of road construction delays. Late arrivals are seated
at the back of the theater. To avoid any problem, come
early and enjoy the Leavenworth area, downtown shopping
and restaurants.
Where can I find lodging?
Visit the Leavenworth Chamber of Commerce web site for
information, phone numbers and links to lodging sites
on the Internet.
May I donate my tickets?
Yes. If you cannot attend your performance and do not wish
to give your tickets to friends or family, your tickets
may be donated for tax credit. Simply return your tickets
in person or by mail to the Ticket Office before the
scheduled performance and the box office will give you
a receipt for the tickets.
