Cabaret FAQs

What is a Cabaret?

Unlike our mainstage productions, cabarets are more intimate, concert-like performances with typically 1-2 performers and musicians performing songs within a theme.

How does seating work for cabarets?

Seats for cabaret performances are 3-4 armless chairs around a small table. The seats are not assigned at the table itself, it's first come, first serve. When you purchase a ticket you're just buying a seat at that assigned table, but not a specific seat.

Can I bring drinks/food into the theater?

Yes! For cabarets you can bring both food and drinks from Ali's Bar into the theater. Just let your bartender know when ordering.

How long are cabarets? Is there an intermission?

Cabaret performances typically run about 75 minutes with no intermission.

Is there an age limit?

Signature does not admit children under 6 years old.

Ticket Return, Exchange & Donation Policy

As a Cabaret subscriber, you can get an exchange with no fees, donate your tickets back for resale, or get a full refund of your ticket price (not including fees) until the day of the performance if you or any member of your household are not feeling well and cannot attend the performance. Please contact us by noon for an evening performance or 10:30AM for a matinee performance so we can process your ticket changes before the show.
Tickets may only be exchanged into the same production and are based on availability. Tickets may not be exchanged after the performance date has passed.

What if I can't use my tickets?

See above regarding Signature’s exchange policy. You may also donate your tickets back to Signature for a tax deductible donation.

Where are performances?

All performances are at Signature Theatre located at 4200 Campbell Ave., Arlington, Virginia 22206, unless otherwise noted. Cabarets take place in the ARK Theatre, located on the second floor in The Mead Lobby.

What time do doors open? What happens if I arrive late?

The doors open around 30 minutes prior to the performance.

Late seating is at the discretion of the House Managers. Patrons who arrive late may be sat in different locations from their original seats to lessen disruption of the show.
