Community Access Tickets

How It Works
- Bring a valid DC Capital Access card, Maryland Independence Card, or Virginia EBT card with a photo ID to the ticket office to purchase tickets.
- Reservations can be made in advance by calling the ticket office at 202-777-3210 or emailing a photo of the EBT card and photo ID to theaterj@theaterj.org with subject line “Community Access Tickets” to have your theaterj.org account setup to purchase Community Access Tickets online.
- EBT funds cannot be used as payment.
- Tickets are subject to availability and cannot be combined with any other offer. Valid only on Theater J-produced productions.
- A maximum of 4 tickets can be purchased per card per performance.
