Tips & Advice

  • Buy tickets only through MVCPA's own site, since third-party resellers usually charge far more and the theater isn't responsible for those tickets.
  • Seating is general admission on the MainStage, so arrive early if you want to choose where you sit for the concert.
  • Use the senior, student or youth ticket tiers if they apply to your group, since they cost less than the adult ticket.
  • Plan around a 90-minute show with no intermission, and take care of drinks and restroom breaks before the music starts.
  • Be ready to get involved, because the concert invites the audience to clap, sing along and get on their feet.

Special Events & Promotions

  • South Bay Holiday Workshop Choir: two workshops with Terrance Kelly, then sing on stage to open the show with OIGC (registration required).
  • Reduced ticket tiers for seniors 62 and over, students 21 and under, and youth 12 and under.
