The Ruth Eckerd Hall Experience 2017-18 Season Schedule

2017-18

SEASON

Ruth Eckerd Hall • Capitol Theatre • Murray Theatre Ruth Eckerd Hall On The Road Marcia P. Hoffman School of the Arts

the

The Ruth Eckerd Hall Experience is getting bigger and better. Over the past few years, as part of our Expanding the Experience $32 Million Capital Campaign, our members and patrons have helped us successfully renovate the Capitol Theatre - a beloved Downtown Clearwater landmark, the Murray Theatre - the crown jewel of our Education program and the Margarete Heye Great Room - an elegant space where life’s special moments can be celebrated. As we move into the final stages of this campaign, you will see many renovations.

You will experience a whole new approach to Ruth Eckerd Hall as we expand from four to six traffic lanes. A beautiful new marquee will welcome you and gorgeous new outdoor spaces will invite you to enjoy your entire experience. Then next year, ground will be broken on dramatic renovations to the West Lobby, including the addition of a cabaret stage for pre-show performances, as well as a fabulous new expanded Dress Circle Lounge.

More improvements will include a new arrival plaza, renovations to the box office including a protective cover from the elements as well as upgrades to the concourse and galleries. Together, these improvements will help ensure Ruth Eckerd Hall continues to grow and change lives for generations to come.

Something special is about to happen

DON’T trust scalpers!

The anonymous internet gives haven to scalpers and ticket fraud. While sites may guarantee a refund if you receive voided*, duplicate or counterfeit tickets, too many disappointed people find their evening ruined, hoping the scalper will make good on the promise.

Tips to protect yourself: Go directly to the venue website RUTHECKERDHALL.COM or call us, we’ll be happy to tell you what a ticket to one of our shows should cost and often, we still have better seats.

Purchase direct at safe and secure RUTHECKERDHALL.COM *The state of Florida prohibits secondary ticketing companies from offering or reselling tickets for events at a nonprofit venue of 3,000 seats or less for more than $1 over the venue’s set prices.
