A Note On Ticket Prices

The Chocolate Factory Theater now offers a tiered ticketing price structure, with the goal of remaining accessible to every person who wishes to attend our events while acknowledging the very real value of the service – namely, artistic and administrative labor – that a ticket purchase represents.

We ask that you select the option that best reflects your individual circumstances. This is not a “pay what you wish” scenario; rather, it’s “pay as much as your circumstances allow”. For context: in the absence of outside funding, a true cost ticket to a Chocolate Factory performance would be $275.

Our tiered options are as follows:

1. $35 (base price – the equivalent of one hour of labor for a lead artist, performer, design collaborator or technician)
2. $25
3. $15
4. $50
5. $100
6. $275 (true cost ticket)

Our intention here is not to create walled gardens or tiers of access based on monetary status; we’re merely trying to make our practice – of paying artists, technicians and administrative staff a fair wage (more than 80% of our annual budget goes to labor, fyi) – more sustainable (or truthfully, less unsustainable), while remaining (we hope!) accessible and welcoming to all.

As a ticket buyer, you’ll receive the same experience regardless of the price you pay. It’s general admission for everyone.

NOTHING: more is an anti-still life, a composition of objects and bodies constantly in flux. In this performance artist Autumn Knight experiments with the porous boundary between parts and whole, object and body, configuration and abstraction. Throughout its duration, three performers move objects of varying size and texture into momentary compositions; while one performer constructs an image, another comes to disrupt, reinterpret and at times conglomerate with their body and/or more objects. The performance itself resists identification, narration and legibility, instead Knight starts from nothing and never veers too far from it. This is a process of making the self, a constant state of renewal that takes our parts to create and reconfigure out of necessity. And there is always more; more to be done, rehearsed and assumed, creating both more and nothing at the same time.
