If I want to add people to my group, am I allowed to increase my number of tickets? A. Yes, the number of tickets may be increased or decreased prior to final payment. These are subject to availability and may not be added after final payment. If required minimum number of tickets is not met, then the discount will not apply and tickets will revert to full price. Group tickets may not be exchanged for another performance and are non-refundable. Q. Are there any handling fees with group tickets? A. There is a $1 per ticket handling fee, which is actually less than the $8-10 typically charged when buying single full price tickets. Q. Can you give me directions to the theatre? A. The Hanover Theatre is centrally located approximately an hour from Boston, Providence and Hartford. We are accessible from all major routes and located just 15 minutes from the Mass Pike. When using GPS please use 551 Main Street, Worcester on your GPS or visit TheHanoverTheatre.org/directions for a map. Our theatre is handicap accessible with police detail present at every show, so dropping off couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easier. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re with a bus or need to be dropped off, we can accommodate you as well. Q. Where can my group park? A. There are a number of convenient parking garages and lots near the theatre. More info and parking locations can be found at TheHanoverTheatre.org/directions.

POLICIES + IMPORTANT INFO The following information is presented to inform our patrons and to maintain an orderly and thriving theatrical environment and experience. These policies notwithstanding, management always strive to be fair, ethical and understanding of our patronsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs. For other answers to frequently asked questions visit TheHanoverTheatre.org/faq. Accessible Seating: The Hanover Theatre is committed to providing access and an enjoyable visit to persons of different abilities. Spaces are reserved for patrons who use wheelchairs and for their ambulatory companions. When purchasing tickets, please be sure to mention if any special accommodations are required, including low vision, hard of hearing and limited mobility etc. It is the intent of the theatre to comply with all ADA provisions where practical. See page 31 for info. ASL/Audio Description: See page 31 for info. Assistive Listening Devices: Devices are available from the house manager. Please inquire at the box office or ask an usher. These cannot be reserved in advance, but the number of devices available should be sufficient for the usual demand. You will be asked to leave your driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license as a deposit when borrowing an assistive listening device. Box Office Hours: (in person and by telephone) Monday through Saturday, 10am to 6pm; Sunday (if there is a performance), noon until 30 minutes after curtain on performance evenings. So that we may best serve patrons attending each event, please avoid visiting the box office to purchase tickets to future events during the hour just prior to curtain time. Cameras (Recording Devices): Our standard policy is that all such devices are prohibited from use in the theatre, and offenders may be ejected without compensation. On rare occasions, specific performers or engagements may request that this policy be suspended, in which case we will advise patrons by covering lobby signage which lists the standard policy. Cell Phones: Out of respect to the performers and to fellow audience members, please remember to silence all cell phones while in the theatre. Children: All patrons MUST have a valid ticket. Parents are discouraged from bringing children

For these reasons, and for the comfort of all audience members, please consider carefully whether it is appropriate for you to bring children under 5 to the theatre. Concessions: Please do not bring outside food or drinks to the theatre. Snacks and beverages will be available for sale in the lobby. First Aid: Please speak with the house manager or any of the ushers if you need first aid or have any sort of accident or medical emergency. Insurance regulations require that such instances be documented immediately. Inclement Weather Policy: The nature of touring performance schedules is such that it is generally impossible for us to reschedule cancelled performances. Therefore, with very rare exceptions, our policy is that the show will go on regardless of the weather as long as the performers are able to perform. Please make travel plans in accordance with anticipated weather conditions, but please DO NOT endanger yourself. The theatre strongly recommends that you add on ticket insurance through Booking Protect to protect your purchase. Protect Your Ticket Purchase with Booking Protect: You can protect your investment by participating in Booking Protect, a new ticket insurance option. You can choose to select Booking Protect as an add-on before finalizing your transaction. Booking Protect is only available at the time of purchase and allows you to receive a full refund of the purchase price should you or anyone in your party be unable to attend due to injury, illness, adverse weather conditions and more. Prohibited: Items and activities which are prohibited include (but are not limited to): smoking, weapons, outside food or drinks, camera or recording devices, cell phones not silenced or set to vibrate, laser pointers, disruptive or abusive language, pets (except those assisting persons with disabilities), and persons exhibiting intoxication or drug use. Offenders may be removed from the theatre without compensation.
