ShoWare, the F. Scott Fitzgerald Theatre’s new online ticketing system, will go live July 1.
Patrons will experience better graphics and find it easier to buy tickets to print at home.
Users will also be able to view their purchasing history, check out an interactive seating map and donate to the F. Scott Fitzgerald Theatre.
The theater will be closed for events and performances in August and early September while it under-goes several renovation projects:
• Behind the theater, a new surface lot will significantly expand accessible parking options.
• The social hall will be updated to provide enhanced space for meetings and events, as well as a new entryway for those using the rear parking lots.
• The theater’s house will undergo roof reinforcement, allowing more flexibility for advanced lighting and sound technology.
The box office will be open throughout construction, 2-7 p.m., Tuesday-Friday.
