ON THE HOUSE

A Community Ticket Access Program

One of Round House Theatre’s deepest held values is to ensure our work is accessible to patrons of all ages, cultural backgrounds, economic groups, and physical ability. Our commitment to access has led to the development of more inclusive and diverse programming on and off stage, as well as recent improvements to our renovated facility. Our FREE PLAY program has already provided thousands of free tickets to high school and college students throughout the region. Now, we’re taking the next step to remove barriers that can make it difficult for some members of our community to experience our work.

ON THE HOUSE is a community ticket access program that provides complimentary group tickets to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and community-serving organizations with a 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor who are headquartered or have an official presence in Maryland, DC, or Northern Virginia. Priority will be given to organizations that serve communities that are traditionally underrepresented in theatre audiences.

Round House Theatre may, in its discretion, decline to provide complimentary ON THE HOUSE tickets for any of the following: 

• Organizations that discriminate based on age, ethnicity/race, political affiliation, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, physical or other disability, or national origin. 
• Organizations that espouse the adoption of a particular faith or political view as a condition for employment, volunteer participation, or the provision of services. 
• Political causes, candidates, organizations, or campaigns as well as advocacy programs, lobbying organizations, or other organizations whose primary purpose is to influence legislation. 
• Private charities, foundations, or granting organizations. 
• Fraternal organizations. 
• Religious, denominational, or sectarian organizations. (Tickets for a community program sponsored by a religious organization which provides broad services to the community will be considered.) 
• Sports teams or athletic competitions. 

Please email us at Community@RoundHouseTheatre.org with any questions.
