What Are Connecticut Repertory Theatre Flex Passes and How Do I Purchase Them?

Connecticut Repertory Theatre (CRT) promotes Flex Passes as a way to get both discounts and flexibility when attending multiple productions in its season. The site presents them as a purchase option alongside single-show tickets, with a dedicated "About & Purchase Flex Passes" path on the CRT website and a box office (860-486-2113, [email protected]) for questions. The published pages do not list Flex Pass prices, the number of tickets included, or any seating restrictions, so confirm those details with the box office before buying.

What a Flex Pass Is For

CRT is the producing arm of the University of Connecticut's Department of Dramatic Arts, performing under a year-round Actors' Equity Association contract. Its season mixes professional and student artists, and the 2026–2027 lineup spans four shows in three venues:

A Flex Pass suits someone who expects to see more than one of these productions and wants to choose dates later rather than commit to a single performance at checkout. Because the site markets the pass for "discounts and flexibility," the practical comparison is: price per show under the pass versus buying single tickets to the same number of shows.

How to Purchase

1. Go to the CRT website (connecticutrep.uconn.edu) and find the Flex Pass section on the home page — it appears as "Flex Passes" and "About & Purchase Flex Passes."
2. Follow that link to the Flex Pass page, where the purchase flow begins.
3. If the page does not show pricing, ticket counts, or eligible performances, contact the box office at 860-486-2113 or [email protected] before paying.
4. For individual shows, each production has its own "About [Show] & Tickets" link on the home page; use those if you decide against a pass.

You can also join CRT's e-mailing list from the home page to receive season and ticket announcements.

What to Confirm Before You Buy

• Price and savings: the site does not publish Flex Pass pricing, so ask what the pass costs and how it compares with single tickets.
• Number of admissions: confirm how many tickets the pass covers and whether all four shows are eligible.
• Booking mechanics: ask whether you reserve seats in advance or at the door, and whether popular performances can sell out before pass holders book.
• Venue differences: the season runs in the Nafe Katter, Studio, and Jorgensen theatres; check whether pass seating is general admission or assigned.
• Refunds and exchanges: the published pages say nothing about changing dates or returning unused admissions.

A Simple Decision Rule

Buy a Flex Pass if you plan to attend at least two CRT productions in 2026–2027 and want date flexibility — but only after the box office confirms the price, the number of tickets, and how reservations work. If you only want one show, or you need a specific seat on a specific night, buy a single-show ticket through that production's ticket link instead.
