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.
