Seeing A Show

Surprise! We are nowhere near Broom Street.

Our address: 1119 Williamson Street, Madison WI.

Tickets

Show up to the theater on the night of a performance and pay-what-you-can, even $0. All walk up tickets (tickets that aren’t pre-purchased) are pay-what-you-can.

If you prefer to pre-purchase tickets online, no problem! We use Eventbrite, and those tickets are a set price.

If our ticketing website says we’re sold out – we still hold about 20 walk-up tickets to ensure we always have pay-what-you-can tickets available. The box office opens 30 minutes before showtime.

Start time

Shows begin promptly at the advertised start time.

For those of you with Eventbrite tickets, please arrive at the theater by 10 minutes before start time. (Start times can vary. Check the “Currently Playing” page to find the start time.) In the event of a high-demand show, we will start selling your seats to folks waiting in line 5 minutes before show time.

The front door of the building opens onto the stage. We cannot accommodate latecomers.

Accessibility

If you use a wheelchair or mobility device, if possible, please email our board (board@bstonline.org) prior to attending a show. We gladly adjust our black box theater seating for wheelchairs and mobility devices, and it can be helpful to do that in advance.

Parking and transit

We do not have a parking lot, and parking in our neighborhood can sometimes be difficult. Please plan accordingly.

There are several bus stops near us. Most of our shows end by 10pm so folks can catch those late buses.

Live stream

Each of our shows has a live stream (live transmission over the internet) for one performance, typically in the second or third week of the run. Tickets for the live stream are donation-based and are purchased through Eventbrite at least one hour before the scheduled performance. If you have questions about the live stream, please email board@bstonline.org.

Thank you for supporting live, local theater! We hope to see you soon!
