Please note important change in Tickets and Seating policy and procedure this 2011:
***ALL performances except for movies and the daytime children’s performances require tickets for

Miller Outdoor Theatre box office the day of the performance between the hours of 10:30 a.m.―1 p.m. for
assigned seating under the canopy. If tickets remain at 1 p.m., the box office will re-open one hour before
show time to distribute the remaining tickets. As always, open seating on the hill.
Under normal circumstances, all unoccupied/unclaimed seats are released 5 minutes before

minutes before showtime to insure that their seat is not released. Again, there is NO charge for tickets.
