  • Subsidy Information

     One of our goals is to ensure all schools are able to attend OnStage Student Matinees. We offer subsidized tickets for schools, within 50 miles of Madison, whose economically disadvantaged student population is listed at  35% percent or more.

    Please reference the Wisconsin DPI Report Card to determine what percentage of students at your school are listed as economically disadvantaged; must be 35% or more to qualify.

     

    If you qualify for subsidized tickets, you will also qualify for a transportation subsidy to offset the cost of buses. Please pay your transportation invoices in full then apply for the transportation subsidy reimbursement.

    To apply, please fill out this form AFTER your field trip and submit copies of your paid receipts either by uploading them on this form or mailing them to us as directed below (see "OnStage Payment Information on pg. 2).

    Transportation subsidies are awarded as a partial reimbursement on a first come first served basis; issued once in the fall and once in the spring.

    You must apply by May 31, 2027.

  • Does your school qualify for a subsidy? If you are unsure, please check the DPI report card.

  • OnStage Inclement Weather Plan and Cancellation Policy

  • When will Overture cancel a performance? We will cancel a performance if: 

    1. Most MMSD schools have closed or adjusted their schedule in a way that would prevent groups from attending (i.e. delayed start or early release). 
    2. Madison Metro Transit busses stop running.  
    3. Weather makes it impossible for our performers to travel here.  

    How and when will Overture announce a cancellation?

    We will announce a performance cancellation at least 3 hours prior to your scheduled performance time (by 6:30 AM for shows starting at 10 AM, by 7:30 AM for shows starting at 11 AM or by 9:30 AM for shows starting at 12:30 PM). We will immediately send an email to all account holders with seats in the show, and call each group using the number on file.  
     
    If you are not notified by 3 hours before the performance, assume the show is on.  
      
    Will our group be refunded the seat cost?

    We will refund payments if your school district (or the school district in which you live if you are a homeschool family) CLOSES on the day of the show (regardless of the reason - snow, extreme cold, etc.), or has a schedule change that would affect the field trip. Refunds will be completed within 14 days from the performance date and will be sent either by check or refunded directly to the card used to pay for the performance.

     

    Tickets holders are permitted to reduce attendance once by up to 15% until 2 months prior to the date of the performance. Further cancellations or adjustments for reasons outside of those listed above are approved only for extunating circumstances, on an individual basis. You may still be liable for payment, even if your group cannot attend the performance.
