Tipping Point Theatre:

-The health and safety of our community, patrons, artists and staff is the primary concern for Tipping Point Theatre. After talking with each of these groups and in accordance with the guidance provided by the CDC and other health and government agencies, we will be closing Tipping Point Theatre through at least April 5, 2020. This is in accordance with Governor Whitmer's instructions to close all indoor and outdoor performance spaces. This closure will include all rehearsals and box office hours. As a result, we will not be presenting "The Baxter Sisters" during this season at the theatre. We're working to find a way to include it in our next season and currently plan to present the remainder of season 13 (Prelude to a Kiss & The Thanksgiving Play) as scheduled beginning in June. This adjustment to our season will take a financial toll on our non-profit theatre and our artists. We will continue to pay our theatre staff during this time and are working with our professional artists to reduce their financial burden while the entire theatre industry is at a standstill. We understand many of our ticket holders are facing a similar burden, and we'll provide ticket refunds to anyone who requests one.
-Here are the options if you currently have a ticket to The Baxter Sisters or are a season pass holder: 1) Request a refund by April 5, 2020 (call our box office or email tix@tippingpointtheatre.com). 2) Donate the cost of your ticket to Tipping Point to help our non-profit weather this uncertain time (no action is needed and we'll issue you a receipt for your contribution after April 30). 3) Exchange your ticket for a gift certificate that can be used anytime this season or next season.
