Audio Assistance – Hearing Challenged (Effective 1/1/2018)
For those patrons with hearing challenges, we are pleased to offer an audio listening system (ALS). For those patrons with either a hearing aid or cochlear implant with a T-Coil setting, we have two loop devices designed to be worn around your neck and broadcast directly to your device. For others, we have six noise-cancelling headsets that can be worn over the ears throughout the performance. Please stop by our Box Office and request an ALS system if you need hearing assistance.
Can My Organization Borrow Items For Our Theatre Production
Please visit our Contact Us page and submit a Costume Request Form or a Properties Request Form.
Can I Give My Tickets to Someone Else
Of course you can give someone else your tickets. You have a couple choices. First option would be to simply have the person attend in your place. When they enter the auditorium and are asked their name during electronic check-in, they would provide the name of the original ticket holder. The other option (if the person could not attend on your originally scheduled performance date or you have an open season ticket), would be to use our ticket site to submit a new order, using the Change Performance Date ticket type, to select a new date.
Can I Submit My Manuscript for Your Consideration
Our policy is only to consider published manuscripts for our regular season.
Changing Tickets/Missed Performance
We always offer the flexibility for patrons to change to a different performance or production. On your ticket confirmation email you received from our ticketing system, you’ll see a link to Exchange your tickets here. If you don’t have your email confirmation, you may request your confirmation be resent to you. Click here to have your order confirmation re-sent to your email address. Please note: Season Ticket holders will not receive the link in their email. Season ticket holders can submit a request to change their ticket(s) here.
If you don’t have access to your email any longer, or there is no link, please use the link above or call our Box Office and leave a message that you would like to change your ticket. Please state the date of your original ticketed performance and the NEW DATE you would like to attend. We’ll make the change and if you had an email address on the order, you’ll receive an updated confirmation. If there is no email address on the order, we’ll call you back with a confirmation.
Customer Service
Please call our Box Office number at 937-278-5993.
Email Reminders
We have turned-on a feature that sends out an email reminder to patrons about upcoming productions they are scheduled to attend. In some cases, when you have changed the date of your tickets, you may still receive a reminder for the old date. You can ignore the reminder. You should also get a reminder (if time allows – 4 days or more) for the newly scheduled performance date.
Disabled Access
Our facility is designed to allow for wheelchair access. We have disabled parking along the side of the building (Hugo Street) along with a wheelchair ramp, disabled bathroom facility, and the ability to remove chairs on our stage level to accommodate wheelchairs. Stage level chairs are also great for those unable to climb stairs. If using the drop-off zone, please do NOT leave your vehicle unattended. Please drop-off, park, and then enter the theatre
Gift Certificates and Vouchers
Using a Gift Certificate or Voucher is much like purchasing a ticket with a credit card. However, when you get to the page with the six different ticket types, you will select the Gift Certificate/Voucher ticket type. You will be required to bring the Gift Certificate or Voucher with you to the theatre on the ticketed performance date and surrender it to the box office. We also ask that you include comments in the “Comments Box” as to how you obtained the Gift Certificate or Voucher.
Gift Certificates expire six months from issue date. However, the value of Gift Certificates never expire. However, you must present the Gift Certificate in order to utilize the value. For example, if you received a Gift Certificate and the value was one Adult ticket and it was purchased 5 years ago, the value of one Adult ticket from 5 years ago will be applied to your order. If ticket prices have increased since that time, you will be required to pay the difference.
If you would like to purchase a Gift Certificate, call our box office at 937-278-5993.
Inclement Weather
In the event of inclement weather, we will post CANCELLATIONS on our website and on our main number of 937-278-5993. If NO CANCELLATION message is posted, the show will go on as scheduled.
Intermission
Not all (but most) of our productions include an intermission. However, for those that do include an intermission, we have a tradition of providing free home baked goods. This is only possible through the generous support of patrons that bake at home and provide them to us to thank our patrons.
Jobs at Dayton Theatre Guild
We are an all-volunteer organization. We do not have any paid positions.
Lost Ticket Confirmation
If you purchased tickets through our website or through the box office and provided us with an email address, you can always retrieve your order through our website. Click here to have your order confirmation re-sent to your email address. Remember, we no longer use paper tickets, so, there is nothing to lose. Instead, we perform a Theatre Check-In as you enter the auditorium. It saves paper, helps the environment, and you never have to worry about misplaced or lost tickets.
My Order Fails Because of an Address Problem
Having problems with your order. We have found that patrons who receive their card statements at a PO Box must enter the numeric portion first. (Example: 123 PO Box)
In addition, if you split your time between two residences, make sure you are using the address where your credit card company sends your statements. For example, you live in FL in the Winter and OH in the Summer. If you order fails because the address and zip code do not match, it could be because your credit card company is sending your statement to the other address. Try entering your other address on the order screen.
Opening Night Reception
As a tradition, after the performance opening night we have a reception. The reception is free and normally includes light hors d’oeuvres and refreshments. Wheat Penny generously provides our opening night reception with their delicious pizzas. Wheat Penny is also a great place to dine before the show. Make sure to tell them the Dayton Theatre Guild suggested a visit.
Open Season Tickets
Open Season Tickets are the most flexible ticket option we offer. You get tickets all the performances in your season ticket package and have the flexibility of selecting the performance date for each performance individually. The process of selecting your Open Season ticket is much like purchasing a new ticket. You will select the Production, the date you want to attend, and when you get to the page with the four different ticket types, you will select the Open Season Ticket Selection ticket type. An example can be found by clicking on this link.
Parking
We have a parking lot behind our building. The parking log can be accessed from Hugo Street or Bainbridge Street.

In addition to recording, we ask patrons to not take flash photographs during performances. Doing so can put the actors in danger due to the flash of bright light.

Seating
We have a three-quarter thrust stage set-up. This means that patrons are seated on three of the four sides of the stage. All performances at our theatre are general admission, and seats are selected upon entering the theatre space. Generally, the house opens 30 minutes prior to the start of the performance, and the earlier you arrive, the better seat selection you will have. Our house only has about 112 seats, so every seat is a good one. We can occasionally add seats to accommodate additional patrons if staging for the production allows.
Ticket Prices (Group)
To qualify for group pricing you need to have at least ten (10) or more individuals in your group. To purchase group tickets, visit our Tickets Page. Select the production and date you wish to attend. On the Ticket Selection Page, add at least ten (10) tickets (Adult and/or Senior) to your order. On the Checkout Page, enter the Coupon Code: GROUP in the Coupon Box and click the Apply Button. A ten percent discount will be applied to your order. Complete the remaining required fields on the Checkout Page and click the Confirm Order Button.
Ticket Confirmation/Printing
We no longer use physical paper tickets you print at home. Instead, we perform a Theatre Check-In as you enter the auditorium. It saves paper, helps the environment, and you never have to worry about misplaced or lost tickets.
