Description

Eugene Ionesco’s Exit the King is the story of King Berenger, ruler of a crumbling kingdom, who wakes up one more morning with aching bones, a failing liver and a really bad headache, among other ailments. Even worse, nothing and no one around him—not the weather, not his wretched first queen, not even his adoring second queen and trusty guard—obeys his commands. Since the King has ruled for more than four centuries, thus overstaying his welcome by about 200 years or so, it seems the administrators upstairs have made an executive decision—to terminate the King’s reign and his life, effective immediately. Not ready to give up the ghost, however, Berenger fights the inevitable as his mind and body shut down. Can this materialistic, greedy, cruel and uncaring monarch learn to let go of the one thing he loves most—himself?

TICKET PRICING


After many years of holding the line on ticket prices, inflation has caught up with us and we need to increase them.
Starting with the new season, individual ticket prices will be $18 regular admission and $15 students and seniors over 65. Thursday performances $12
Coupon packs (5 admissions) $85/$70 PPP season tickets (7 admissions) $100/$90.


If you would like to buy coupon packs before the price increase, our current pricing ($70/$55) will be in effect through August 1, 2024.

 Once again we will be using an online ticketing system for your
convenience. The cost of the service has been built into the ticket prices so you’ll see no additional fees.
