Many Olney Theatre Center productions include 10:15 am performances in their schedule to accommodate school groups. These events are restricted to school groups only.
Tickets are available on a sliding scale with prices ranging from $5 for Title I schools to a maximum of $20 per student. We are committed to making our performances accessible to as many students as possible, so please do not assume your school cannot afford to come to the theatre.
