Begin your planning by checking our schedule and ordering your tickets. Both season tickets and single play tickets are available online, by phone, or in person at the ISU Center for the Performing Arts (CPA) Box Office. Your tickets can be mailed or held for you at the Box Office where the performance will be held.
- Note that one of our shows, Caesar, is being staged at the CPA, and the other two plays will be held at the Ewing Theatre. The CPA Box Office will be open in the afternoons up until performance time and the Ewing Box Office will be open approximately one hour prior to the performance.
