Paris Community Theatre — Attraction in Paris

My most recent experience at PCT was stressful and discouraging on what would have otherwise been an enjoyable night. I've seen four shows at PCT and travel with friends over 200 miles to see them (we live in Oklahoma and go to see a friend.) Because of this, we bought our tickets online to reserve seats. Arriving at the box office, I was told that I hadn't bought tickets at all! Eventually, the employee running the office looked at the receipts and saw I had indeed bought two seats (my friends bought two next to us.) I was told to wait aside while other customers got tickets until they found mine. My three friends and I stood outside for at least ten minutes, anxiously waiting. A volunteer, who we had seen checking the box office and inside the theatre, came out and asked us about our tickets. I gave them my name, and they went back inside to look a final time. Finally, they came out with two tickets I hadn't purchased for seats on a different row. "These seats are the best we can do." "But where are the tickets we bought?" "We don't know." "Did you sell the seats we paid for?" "[Your tickets] are in a box somewhere, and we don't know where that is." "You see, we'd all like to sit together." "You can take these tickets or we can give you a refund." Tired of fighting, we took the tickets and walked in. I gave the tickets to the attendant to check, and there was a small box next to her with papers in it. I thought "why not" and took a peek. Sitting right on top was a sticky note saying "BRYANT, VERONICA (2)" and the tickets I bought! We told the volunteer we were taking my original tickets and gave them back the comp'ed ones. I can understand losing things, and I know they were busy, but when it took me no less than a minute to find my purchase, lying in plain sight in a box with other tickets, it felt suspicious that it took 10 minutes for them to declare it lost. I don't know if it was a genuine effort, or if they were trying to give my tickets to someone else (the comp'ed tickets were worse seats), and why they wouldn't just let me sit in the seats on my receipt in the first place, but I didn't appreciate the simple lack of an explanation or apology...

The Plaza Theatre opened July 30, 1926, is home of Paris Community Theatre (PCT) which was formed in the spring of 1976. The first production, “Up the Down Staircase” was performed in July, 1976, but not until May, 1986 did PCT start performing at the Plaza. 100’s of productions since then.

Went just last week and saw Red, White, and Tuna. it was great fun. I've seen the original cast multiple times, but I was pleasantly surprised with these local actors. They did an awesome job. The people at the concession stand were fun. I recommend that you carry cash for snacks as they are not really set up for credit cards. all items are only $2 each, so not a big deal. Go see a play, have some...
