Tips & Advice

  • Buy tickets only through the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center, because tickets from unauthorized sellers may be counterfeit and are void if so.
  • Keep your camera and phone recording off, since the theater's standard policy prohibits cameras and recording devices during performances.
  • Plan to go even if the weather turns, because performances go on regardless of weather and tickets are not refunded.
  • Be ready to join in if Sister calls on you, since audience members help her build the living nativity on stage.
  • Pre-order your drinks and snacks through the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center before the show, and note the ticket office opens one hour before curtain.
