Subscriber Benefits

Porchlight Music Theatre is pleased to welcome you to the 2007-2008 Season. We are committed to providing you outstanding productions and personalized service. Please read over the following information so that you can maximize your Porchlight Music Theatre experience this season.

Ticket Exchange Privileges

Porchlight Music Theatre is pleased to offer a complimentary* flexible ticket exchange program. Please arrange your ticket exchange at least 48 hours prior to the originally scheduled performance. Contact porchlighttheatre@yahoo.com or 773.325.9884 or Theatre Building Chicago's box office directly at 773.327.5252.

In the event of a last minute emergency preventing your attendance at a performance, please call the box office 773.327.5252 so they can release the seats.*

Exchanges, of course, are subject to ticket availability for a given performance.

*If a subscriber does not notify the box office to release seats prior to the performance, a $15 per ticket fee will be charged for ticket exchanges requested after the originally scheduled performance. (This is minimal compensation for the lost seat revenue).

Occasionally, a subscriber must miss a show entirely because of extenuating circumstances or plans for an end of the run show had to be canceled. In such instances, please release the tickets through the box office and we will provide you a donation acknowledgement for the value of the donated tickets.

Additional Tickets

Subscribers enjoy a $3 off discount for additional tickets purchased. Folks often use their season flex pass for their repeat visit and this discount for friends they wish to introduce to Porchlight Music Theatre.

Season Flex Pass

All full season grand subscriptions include a flex pass which allows you to come to see a play again and again. Specific conditions are printed on the pass itself.

Seating Preference Requests

If you have not already done so, please contact porchlighttheatre@yahoo.com .

Let us know about seating needs based on physical challenges and/or subscriber friends with whom you wish to be seated. We also pledge our best efforts to meet subscriber seat location preferences. All shows this season will be staged in the west theater with the thrust stage.

Reserved Seating

Upon entering the theater, please look for your name on a laminated reserved seat sign. Make sure these remain on the seatback or are given to the house manager so they can be used for the full season. Thank-you!

Subscriber Insider

The Porchlight Music Theatre enewsletter for subscribers is our vehicle for keeping you abreast of special activities, announcements, and opportunities. In addition, the newsletter provides insights about productions as gleaned from interviews with actors, directors, and creative team members. If you have not already done so, please send us your email address at porchlighttheatre@yahoo.com so you'll be in the subscriber insider loop.

Return Privileges

See shows again and again with the Season Flex Pass! (donors only)

Savings

Subscribers save 15%-20% off single ticket prices.

Parking at Theatre Building Chicago

All full season grand subscriptions include a parking permit that allows you to park in Cooper's lot on Sundays with the expectation that you visit Cooper's following the show.

Valet parking for $8 is available at the theater. A city lot is three blocks west of the theater and Belmont has metered street parking.

Special Dining Options

Our official dining partner, Cooper's - A Neighborhood Eatery, is just across the street from the theater. Critically acclaimed for good food, a 90+ beer list, and value, Cooper's offers 10% off the food bill to Porchlight patrons who present their tickets. We appreciate Cooper's delicious donations of hors d'oeuvres for the opening reception of each show.  

In addition, Theatre Building Chicago patrons enjoy discounts and/or special theater menus at several restaurants in the vicinity.

Complimentary Invitations

  • Off the Porch, Porchlight Music Theatre's new works program invites subscribers to be Off the Porch guests at readings and other events featuring works in progress. Talk backs following the readings seek audience feedback and reactions which, in turn, help develop the new work.
  • Subscribers are invited to experience a production in process and to attend Open Dress Rehearsals at the Porchlight rehearsal space at 2814 North Lincoln Avenue.
  • Porchlight Music Theatre organizes other show-specific events with complimentary tickets for subscribers.

Porchlight Music Theatre appreciates the support of its subscribers and their word-of-mouth promotion of our shows. Share the Porchlight good news!
