What is Pay What You Will?
At the Fredericton Playhouse, we’re always looking for new ways to make the performing arts more accessible and to encourage our community to take a chance on new and exciting work. This season, we have SIX shows offering Pay What You Will tickets, in addition to our three Kidstage performances. There’s something new for everyone to discover. Read on for more information!
The shows

It’s a journey that explores the tides of grief seamlessly weaving classical, electronic, and pop genres.

How it works
Step 1: Reserve your ticket
Just like attending any other show at the Fredericton Playhouse, you need to reserve a ticket. You can reserve them online HERE, in person or over the phone. If you’re unable to attend the show (life happens!), please let our Box Office know as soon as possible so that we can provide this opportunity to other members of the community.
Step 2: Sit back and enjoy
When you get to the theatre on show day (don’t forget your tickets!), our ushers will provide you with an empty envelope. Sit back and enjoy the performance.
Step 3: Pay What You Will
Once the show is over, you decide your price of admission based on your experience. You can pay using your envelope with cash, credit card or by cheque.
