**Theater Alaska’s mission is to make professional theater accessible to all. Therefore, we are using a pay-as-you-want ticket structure for this performance. This allows our audiences to pay the price that they can afford. For example, for $35 you are paying the market value of the ticket; for $50 you are also helping those in our community attend the show who are unable to afford the full price. You’ll be able to choose smaller amounts, including $0 as we want to make sure cost is not a barrier to attending the show.
This production is supported in part by the Juneau Arts and Humanities Council and the City and Borough of Juneau.
Support also provided by a Rasmuson Foundation 2025 Individual Artist Project Award, a Juneau Community Foundation Artist Award, Juneau Makerspace, and Filipino Community, Inc
