Introducing the newest way to experience live entertainment
The PCPA VIP Membership

PCPA is offering opportunities to the general public that have never been available before with the new PCPA VIP Membership. It is the most flexible way to see great live theatre and attend behind the scenes events, as well as observe some of the training that occurs in PCPA's world-class conservatory.

For only $20.00 a month, VIP Members can select their day and time for tickets to all the mainstage plays throughout the season. In addition, they are privileged to attend select design presentations, student sharings, and preview PCPA Outreach Tour productions. These behind-the-scenes events have only been available to company members in the past.

VIP Members can also purchase additional theatre tickets at their member rate and have the ability to purchase $10 rush tickets the day of the show ($11 in Solvang). Along with the low monthly fee, there is no annual contract and members may opt-out anytime.

In addition to extraordinary year-round entertainment on stage, VIP Members are invited to attend design presentations. These are unique meetings that culminate many months of work by the director and team of designers. The concepts that initiated designs and subsequent research are presented to the cast and crew in an intimate setting.

The conservatory sharings, also previously off-limits to the general public, include the presentation of student mile-stones in their development whether its working on scenes of Chekhov, Shaw, or Shakespeare, or sharing the work accomplished in Singing Techniques classes. These students' work in progress, or sharings, affords a fascinating glimpse into the conservatory that very few people have ever witnessed before.
