------------------------------------------------
Rain Policy - The Hip Pocket Theatre is an outdoor venue. As such, we are affected by the rain and sometimes even a light rain will force a show's cancellation. We not only have to be concerned about the safety of our actors on a wet stage, but our guest's comfort, instruments being used by musicians on stage and special lighting effects.

If there is a chance of rain in the forcast or it is raining at your location, call the box office at 817-246-9775 for an update on the status of that evening's performance.

--------------------------------------------------
Online Ticket purchasers: If you purchase a ticket on-line for a performance and that show is cancelled due to rain, your tickets will be honored at any future performance that season. However, on a closing weekend we usually experience larger crowds and we can only seat about 125 guests. If you bought tickets online, please show up early to secure your reservation. When a show is selling out, we hold seats up to 15 minutes prior to curtain, after that a reservation is released to allow seating from the waiting list.
