NEW THIS YEAR! THE GCTC EXPERIENCE GETS BETTER!

I think you'll agree that artistic standards at GCTC just get better and better, especially over Artistic Director Lorne Pardy's two seasons at the helm. Now, as Managing Director, I'd like to introduce you to some changes that will make the decision to plan your theatre year around GCTC even more attractive!

We're going to continue offering the lowest prices for fully-professional theatre in Ottawa and maintain our accessibility to low-income audiences. In the 2002-03 Season, we're also going to increase GCTC-going opportunities to seniors, parents and students.

Reserved Seating 
Now you can plan your whole season in advance-and busy people no longer have to line up to get a good seat! The earlier you book, the better the seat!

Eight great shows for less than $20 a ticket! 
Book now for GCTC's six mainstage shows, plus a special 'earlybird subscribers discount package for our Great Canadian Comedy series of Wingfield On Ice and the return of The Number 14 if you book before July 19, 2002

New time for Saturday matinee 
Unwind at the end of your Saturday rush with a GCTC performance at 4:00 pm on every Saturday of each show's run-then grab a bite at one of Preston Street's friendly restaurants just around the corner, and still be home early!

New Student 'Rush' Card 
With your new GCTC Student Rush Card (available to students with valid ID for a nominal $3), you can purchase 'Rush' seats (maximum two per card) after 4:00 pm for the same evening's show (2 hours before the start of any matinee) for $9 each

You can change your reservation 
Up to 4:00 pm on the day of the performance (2 hours before showtime for matinees) subject to availability. After that time, your reservation will stand for that performance and cannot be changed-even if you don't show up.

See you at the theatre!
