DalekoArts

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Most Daleko productions are geared toward an adult audience. However, we do occasionally produce something that is appropriate for all ages. Be sure to check our age recommendations that follow the show description to help you decide. Regardless of the show, DalekoArts recommends that children under the age of five hang at home with the babysitter.

  • No way. If you want to dress up, go for it. If you feel more comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt, that works, too. Theatre is for everyone, and your neon Crocs don’t change that.

  • The Daleko concessions bar has snacks and drinks, but no alcohol. 👎

    If you're looking for a drink before or after the show, check out current options.

  • Before the show starts, yes. Snap away! During the show, no. Snapping is bad. Not only does it violate the terms of Daleko's agreement with play publishers, but it's also distracting to other patrons and performers. Plus, your phone should be off once the show starts so it doesn't make noise and ruin that precious love scene.

  • You can read all about Daleko's pricing structure here — but in a nutshell, it's a form of "dynamic" pricing. Each performance has a certain number of tickets at each price point. When they're gone, that price point goes away. In theory, the cheaper tickets will go first, so as a performance gets closer to selling out, the price becomes higher. This system allows DalekoArts to keep per-capita ticket revenue where it needs to be, while making sure the lowest price point still remains very reasonable — something many of our patrons rely on. You can select $15 or $25…it's all general admission seating (first-come, first-served).

    P.S. A DalekoArts Season Member automatically gets a ticket to every show in our main season at the lowest possible price point. Whaaaaaaat??!!

  • You don't need to, but it's certainly recommended. With a teeny-tiny house of only 78, many DalekoArts performances are nearly full, if not totally sold out.

  • Yes! If, while trying to purchase tickets at the highest price point, the performance is not "clickable," that performance is sold out. You can also call the box office for this info: 952-314-9077.

  • DalekoArts does not offer refunds on tickets unless the event or show is canceled. Exchanges, however, may be made at least 24 hours in advance with a $2.00/ticket exchange fee. Tickets may not be exchanged for a different production.

    Season Members are able to exchange tickets an unlimited number of times at no cost.

    Prior to a performance, any unused ticket may be exchanged with the Box Office for a tax-deductible donation receipt.

    A group rate of 10% off is available for 10 people or more for all productions. Call our box office prior to purchase if this discount is of interest to you.

  • For most performances, weeknight shows begin at 7:30pm (including Saturday), and Sunday shows begin at 2:00pm. Some schedules vary a bit (holiday show!), so be sure to check your ticket confirmation or our website for accurate start times.

  • The Box Office and lobby open one hour prior to each performance. The house will open thirty minutes prior to each performance. It's recommended that you arrive at least fifteen minutes before the show, as DalekoArts operates a general admission venue (first come, first served seating). If you arrive too late, it's very possible you'll have to split up your party, and nobody wants that.

    To minimize interruptions, late arriving patrons may be asked to wait to be seated until an appropriate break in the performance. For some productions, it may be necessary for us to lock up once the performance begins, so do all you can to be sure you arrive on time.

  • In the unlikely event of a show cancelation, you’ll be able to choose to have your tickets exchanged or refunded. DalekoArts will make every effort to contact you when a show cancelation occurs (make sure your contact information is current when you purchase tickets). If you're unsure of whether or not the show will go on as planned, feel free to contact the Daleko Box Office at 952-314-9077 for more information.

  • There is plenty of free street parking up and down Main Street very near the theater.

  • Our season runs from the fall to the spring. New seasons are announced in the early spring, and new season memberships go on sale shortly thereafter.

  • All those working on a DalekoArts production are paid professional theatre artists. Daleko is a non-union house, but does occasionally hire union actors under a Special Appearance contract.

  • DalekoArts holds general season auditions each spring in the Twin Cities. These auditions are announced on MNPlaylist.com, and here, on our Auditions page.
