Frequently Asked Questions

My tickets are not sequential.  Are the seats next to each other?
Yes they are.  Seat numbers are even on one side of the theater and odd on the other. 

How do I find out pricing for a specific show?
Pricing for shows vary depending on the day and seating location.  We have a detailed price for many events on our website.  Just click on "Event Calendar," select the show you are interested in, and click "Detailed seating and pricing."  You can also call the box office at (860) 987-5900 for specifics.

How do I request a donation for my organization? 
Please send all requests for ticket donations on organization letterhead to Carolyn Hebert, The Bushnell, 166 Capitol Ave., Hartford, CT  06106. 

Does The Bushnell hold open auditions for actors?
We bring in touring productions and do not currently produce our own works.  Therefore, we do not hold auditions or hire our own actors.  You may want to try Theaterworks and Hartford Stage.

Are gift certificates available and how do I buy them?
Gift certificates are available in any amount and can be used for all Bushnell-sponsored performances.  Pick up one little envelope packed with Broadway, dance, music, and family entertainment at The Bushnell Box Office, by calling (860) 987-5900 or online.

Is there a dress code for Bushnell performances?
There is no specific dress code for performances, but patrons typically come in business casual attire - dress shirts and pants for men, skirts or dress slacks for women. 

How will I know if a performance is cancelled due to severe weather?
If a performance is cancelled the following radio and television stations will be notified: WTIC AM (1080) and WFSB/TV 3. Cancellations will also be listed on bushnell.org. If a show is cancelled or postponed, customers may exchange to another performance (subject to availability), receive a credit on their account, or request a refund.
