PAY WHAT YOU CHOOSE
The Citadel Theatre’s “Pay What You Choose” program, presented by Alberta Blue Cross, was developed with the intention of improving access to live, professional theatre for those who may not be able to commit to a regular price ticket. Pay What You Choose performances will be available for six mainstage shows and two seasonal shows. Stay tuned and check back often for more information on the 2025/26 performances and show dates in the coming weeks!
To further improve access to entry for patrons, there will be two chances to get tickets with an online form (sent by email) and an in-person line up on the day of the performance. Sign up to the online form below to be eligible for all future Pay What You Choose events.
While we are currently between seasons, we want to share with you the dates of the in-person lineup for the 2025/26 season. Save these dates to your calendar so you never miss the chance! Check back to this page for show-specific details and eligible performance dates before the start of each show.
