We welcome all groups to enjoy our performances, including schools, church groups, youth organizations, day-cares, and other organizations. We recognize the complexities that bringing a group on a field trip has, and offer group-friendly policies for these bookings. Please note the following policies only refer to group bookings, and do not refer to smaller, individual reservations.

We accept cash, credit card, checks (made out to Oklahoma Children's Theatre), and purchase orders. All payments and group numbers need to be finalized and paid in full at least 14 days before the performance date. Bookings that are not paid by this time are subject to cancellation without notice.

Everybody seeing the performance requires a ticket- this includes students, teachers, and chaperones. Complimentary tickets are provided to groups at a rate of 1 complimentary ticket per 20 paid child/ student tickets. Complimentary tickets may be used for any adult member of the group, including teachers and chaperones.

We are located on the campus of Oklahoma City University, and all of our shows take place in either the Children’s Center for the Arts Theatre (located on the corner of 25th and Blackwelder), or in the Burg Theatre (located just across the road in University School of Theatre building). You can view a location map here. We can also be found on Google and Apple Maps by searching for “Oklahoma Children’s Theatre”.

Each production’s venue is listed on our Upcoming Season page, and will either be the Children’s Center for the Arts Theatre, or the Burg Theatre.

We believe the theatre is a special place, one that provides an exciting and intimate experience for audiences. You can help us create magical memories for our young audiences, as well as ensure the comfort and safety of all patrons and actors, by following a few simple rules.

• Photography and video recording are never permitted inside of a theatre. All of our productions are covered by strict copyright rules and any recording of the show is strictly prohibited. Further, flash photography is not only distracting to guests and actors alike, but presents a safety issue for our performers.
• Food and drinks are not permitted in the theatre.
• Cell phones are not permitted to be used. Aside from being rude, the glow of screens is distracting for guests and performers. Please help us keep our show engaging by turning phones off, or on silent, and keeping them put away during performances.
• The stage is an exciting and colorful place- but it’s also off-limits. Theatre sets aren’t always what they look like, and many of the pieces you see are not designed to be touched or played with. For your safety, and the safety of our sets, please stay off the stage.

All of our shows have General Admission. We encourage groups to arrive early to ensure that they are seated together.

Our theatre open 30 minutes prior to show time, and we ask that groups arrive with ample time to enter the theatre. Larger groups should aim to arrive at least 20 minutes in advance, to allow time for getting off the bus and getting seated in the theatre. We are unable to delay the start of shows for groups that arrive late.

Occasionally actors are available to talk to groups after the performance, however this must be organized in advance. To see if this is possible please talk to our Box Office staff on (405) 208-6200.

We are unable to refund bookings within 14 days of the performance. Exchanges are generally not permitted, although occasional exceptions may be made. For information please call the box office on (405) 208-6200.

There are no indoor facilities available for group use, however there is an outdoor grass area right across the street.

We have answers to all of your questions. We can be reached by phone at (405) 208-6200, Tues - Fri 9:00am - 5:00 pm, or by emailing reception@oklahomachildrenstheatre.org.
