STEP 2: CONFIRM RESERVATION
Your reservation request is confirmed upon your receipt of an invoice and contract. Check your invoice to be sure that your contact information, the performance date and time, and the number of seats requested are correct. Keep a copy of the invoice for your records. Have a school administrator sign the contract and mail it back to us within 5 business days of receipt. Failing to return a contract does not cancel your reservation.

You can make a one-time adjustment of up to 20% to your order until 8 weeks prior to the performance. All reservation adjustments must be made by phone.
Your request for accommodations for special needs must be made at least 4 weeks in advance of the performance date. American Sign Language interpretation will be provided (if possible) for only one performance of each show. Please contact Keriann Kirkeng for special accommodation requests at 262-472-1432.
STEP 4: PAYMENT & SEATING
Please send both invoice and you payment to the UW-W Cashier’s Office address listed on the bottom of the invoice. All payments are processed by the UW-Whitewater cashier’s office. At this time, the cashier’s office does not accept credit card payment. Payment must be made in the form of a check, made out to UW-Whitewater. Do not make reservation changes on the invoice. (Handwritten changes made on an invoice by the purchaser will not be considered valid.) Call (262) 472-1432 to make changes prior to payment.
A minimum of 8 weeks is required for all reservation cancellations. If a cancellation is requested after this deadline, the school will remain responsible for payment of the original reservation amount. Seating assignments are based on the date your payment is received by the UW-Whitewater Cashier's Office. We regret that we are unable to refund payment once it has been received by the UW-Whitewater Cashier's Office. We also do not refund payment for seats not used on the day of the show.
