Check out these benefits:
Advance Notice
Because VLT shows are so popular, this is perhaps the main advantage of being a season ticket holder: you will receive advance notice of each show and may reserve your seats before tickets go on sale to the public. (You may also purchase additional tickets at full price when ordering, in case you want to bring friends and have them sit with you.) Sales to the public begin one week before each opening night.
Additional Shows
VLT does smaller shows in Stage Left (two are scheduled for this coming season), and season subscribers have first chance to reserve those tickets too.
Ticket Flexibility
Your season ticket stubs may be used one at a time or all at once (except only one ticket stub marked “musical” may be used for La Cage aux Folles), for any performance, either evenings or matinees. You choose the performance that’s best for you!
Assisted Listening Devices
VLT has 20 assisted listening devices, and season ticket holders have first opportunity to reserve these.
You’re Invited!
Each show will have an Opening Night Gala, with the audience invited to enjoy delicious refreshments in Stage Left with the cast after the show.
Order Today!
Your Season Tickets will be mailed to you in late September, along with your reservation form for the first production, Arsenic and Old Lace, which opens in October.
The Very Little Theatre 84th SEASON 2012-2013
 Arsenic and Old Lace
The Classic Comedy by Joseph Kesselring
Directed by Sarah Etherton
October 2012
This famous black comedy is about Mortimore Brewster, his two charming spinster aunts who kill lonely old men (as an “act of kindness”) and bury them in the cellar; the antics of a brother who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt; and the nefarious activities of another brother recently escaped from a mental institution. One critic wrote, “You wouldn't believe that homicidal mania could be such great fun,” and another said “so funny that none of us will ever forget it."
