ON THE HOUSE
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.

IMPORTANT INFO
- Only 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and community-serving organizations with a 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor who have an official presence in Maryland, Virginia, or Washington DC may register and apply for tickets.
- While there is no limit on how many shows an organization can request tickets for in a given season, organizations may not be approved for all requests.
- Final ticket allotments may not drop below ten (10) tickets and 70% of an organization's final allotted tickets must be used in order to be considered for future awards.
- On the House tickets may not be resold or used for auction items at fundraising events. Using tickets in this way is grounds for disqualification from the program. To request tickets for fundraising events, please email BoxOffice@RoundHouseTheatre.org.
- Tickets may not be exchanged for a different date or show once awarded.
- Any organization that is awarded tickets agrees to allow Round House Theatre use of their name for informational and granting purposes associated with the On the House program. Round House Theatre may solicit additional information and/or testimonials from award recipients.
