Individual Tickets
The Orphans' Home Cycle is made to be seen in three separate, self-contained productions that will be staged individually as well as in repertory and one-day marathons*. These parts can be enjoyed independently, but become a transformative theatrical experience when seen as a whole.
*Marathon tickets must be purchased via phone or in person at the Box Office.
