Tuition to be in a production is $250. You can reserve a space by paying a $35 registration fee with the tuition balance being paid in two installments after casting has been announced. Tuition is non-refundable. If an actor must drop the class, a pro-rated tuition will be held on account and may be used for future classes/productions minus the $35 non-refundable, non-transferable registration fee.

Cast member families receive eight complimentary tickets, but must additionally sell (or purchase) 15 tickets. Families that attend and assist with set-build receive a $50 "Good Citizenship Award" that may be applied to future tuition.
