The purchase of a ticket from a third-party vendor is not authorized. Duluth Playhouse reserves the right to refuse entry to fraudulent or suspect ticket holders.

We recommend patrons be ages 8 and up to attend a Main Stage or Underground production. We recommend patrons be ages 5 and up for a Youth Theatre production. Everyone must have a ticket. Children under 3 are not admitted. Call the Box Office if you have any questions.
Third-party tickets
Duluth Playhouse Box Office is the official and most secure way to purchase your tickets. We cannot guarantee that tickets purchased through any other vendor or third-party vendor are valid.
Follow these best practices when purchasing tickets online:
- Purchase tickets only from duluthplayhouse.org
- Type DuluthPlayhouse.org directly into your browser
- Do not click on any search listing labeled as ads
- If tickets are unavailable, contact our Box Office instead of searching third-party sites
Production Changes and Cancellations
Production dates, times, and titles are subject to change or cancellation.

Community Previews
Duluth Playhouse believes that theatre is for everyone. Community Preview Nights build relationships with diverse community groups across the Northland. We are bringing our community together on and off the stage by investing in local groups and offering the clients they serve greater access to our productions.
Community Preview Nights allow community-serving organizations and groups to experience a Duluth Playhouse show and remove financial barriers for their staff or clients who otherwise might not be able to attend. We offer a rotation of guests to our free Community Preview Night Performance, which is always the Wednesday before Opening Night.
Please complete our Community Preview Night Request form to get on the rotating guest list.

Full-time students with a valid student ID can get a $25 ticket to any Playhouse produced Main Stage production at the NorShor and a $22 ticket to Underground productions.

Tickets are sold to patrons on a first-come, first-served basis.
