The Drama Group has a new ticketing service! We are now using BookTix Ticketing and Livestreaming for show tickets when we resume live performances, currently planned for the resumption of our 90th year in the Fall of 2021. In the meantime, we will be streaming our Staged Play Readings and other virtual events on BookTixLive, with tickets being available by going to The Drama Group BookTix website http://dg.booktix.com/ where you will be directed to set up your account with The Drama Group-BookTix Box Office.
Although Staged Play Readings will continue to be provided free to our audiences, this new, pandemic driven method of Bringing Broadway to the South Suburbs does incur some added production costs. We have added a “Donations Button” to the ticket order page if you would like to help The Drama Group defray the cost of producing these free plays.
