Frequently-asked Questions by Groups 

Q:  Do groups receive a discount? 

A:  Groups of 10 or more people receive up to a 20% discount off the regular single ticket prices on most Unicorn Theatre productions.

Q:  Do you require a deposit?          

A:  It depends on the size of the group.  Groups of 10 to 49 do not have to pay for their tickets until the number of tickets is finalized 6 weeks before the performance.  Many of our group leaders estimate the number of tickets needed and continue to adjust their reservation until six weeks before their performance.  If you are unsure of your numbers at that point, you can continue to adjust your order with us after paying for the minimum number of tickets required to constitute a group order, which is 10 tickets.

For groups of 50 or more and for theater buy-outs, a $200 deposit is    required at the time the contract is signed.  Payment in full is due six weeks prior to the performance selected. 

Q:  When can we order?

A:  Anytime!  Simply call us for the information and we’ll be happy to help.  But remember – because our intimate theater seats just 150, the earlier you order, the better assurance you’ll have for the performance you want. 

Q:  Can we all sit in the same section of the theater? 

A:  We will try our best to accommodate your seating requests, but sometimes it is difficult to seat everyone together, especially for larger groups.  

Q:  Where can our group go to eat before or after the play?

A:  The Unicorn Theatre is located near restaurants in every price range located within an easy walk or drive of the theater on 39th Street, in Westport, and on the Country Club Plaza. 

Q:  I have other questions.  Where can I go for answers? 

A:  Please call our Group Sales Team at 816-531-7529 x 21 or e-mail us at groupsales@unicorntheatre.org.  A member of our Group Sales staff can help you choose the play that best suits your group’s theater tastes and schedule.

My First Time

Written by Ken Davenport and Real People Just Like You

 

September 23-October 18, 2009

Directed by Cynthia Levin

On The Mainstage

 

Was your first time in your wedding bed or the Burger King bathroom?  First sexual experiences are one of the few things that almost every single person on the planet has in common, yet we rarely talk about them…until now.  Over 40,000 people anonymously posted their true first time stories to a website.  Those stories and the characters in them now take stage. My First Time will have you laughing and reminiscing about your own first time . . . and thinking about your next one. 

 

 

Farragut North

By Beau Willimon

 

November 11-December 13, 2009

Directed by John Rensenhouse

On The Mainstage

Produced with UMKC Theatre

 

Stephen is a 25-year-old hotshot press secretary who has built a career that men twice his age envy.  During a tight presidential primary race, however, Stephen’s meteoric rise falls prey to the backroom politics of more seasoned operatives.  Even his one night stand with a teenage staffer proves to be more complicated than casual.  More than a glimpse into the world of politics, Farragut North is an intriguing story of loyalty, obsessive lust for power and the costs one will endure to succeed.

 

Miss Witherspoon

By Christopher Durang

 

December 2, 2009-January 3, 2010

Directed by Cynthia Levin and Steven Eubank

On The Jerome Stage

Produced with UMKC Theatre

 

Veronica is plagued by the fear that Skylab will almost certainly drop from the sky and crush her.  Finding the world too frightening a place to endure, she decides to leave it behind.  Her plans for eternal peace are interrupted when she finds herself in the Bardo (Tibetan Buddhist netherworld) with an overly cheery spirit guide who forces her to reincarnate.  A stubborn Veronica is sent back in a dizzying array of roles from infant in a bug and drug ridden trailer park to playful golden retriever.  There are lessons to learn if she is to save her soul . . . and maybe even the world.

 

 

Grey Gardens

Book by Doug Wright

Music by Scott Frankel

Lyrics by Michael Korie

 

January 27-February 28, 2010

Directed and Choreographed by Nedra Dixon

Musical direction by Anthony T. Edwards

Featuring Cathy Barnett

On The Mainstage

 

This 2007 Tony Nominated musical is based on the 1975 documentary about Big Edie and Little Edie Bouvier Beale, the eccentric aunt and cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.  Grey Gardens is the Bouviers' real mansion in the East Hamptons.  The story tracks the deterioration of these women’s lives and their home as they fall from rich, socially polished aristocrats to an isolated existence in a house overridden by cats and decay.  Through crumbling walls and broken windows, the tangled dynamics of this notorious mother/daughter relationship are finally exposed.

 

 

Green Whales

The World Premiere by Lia Romeo

 

March 3-March 28, 2010

Directed by Cynthia Levin

On The Jerome Stage

Produced with UMKC Theatre

 

Karen is a 38-year-old woman who, due to a condition that halts her aging, appears to be a young teen.  Her bigger problem, however, is that she can’t find a date.  Her wacky sister Joanna comes up with the ‘perfect’ plan to find love for Karen.   Joanna, not surprisingly, has her own relationship issues.  The sisters search for love and must learn to settle for their ‘perfect’ mates.  Green Whales was read in Unicorn’s 2008-2009 In-Progress New Play Reading Series.

 

 

And Her Hair Went With Her

By Zina Camblin

 

April 28-May 23, 2010

Directed by Jacqee Gafford

On The Mainstage

 

Wigs, weaves, and pop culture! The beauty shop gets a makeover in this hilarious celebration of African-American sisterhood and identity. Two hair stylists, middle-aged Jasmine and radical Angie, dish the dirt on a salon of eccentric clients and discover how self-image affects us all. Get ready for a wild range of women, personalities, hairstyles, and trends in this funny and poignant blow out.  And Her Hair Went With Her was read in Unicorn’s 2007-2008 In-Progress New Play Reading Series.
