Four Corners Musical Theatre announced an early bird season ticket sale for its 2026 season, with the promotion available through December 31. The season schedule includes Sister Act March 19 through March 29, Grease at the Sandstone outdoor summer theatre June 11 through July 12, Shrek July 30 through August 9, and Jekyll and Hyde October 22 through November 1.

Early bird pricing is billed as the season s lowest. A single season ticket is available for seventy five dollars, down from regular pricing of up to one hundred four dollars, a savings of twenty nine dollars or roughly twenty eight percent. A couples season ticket is priced at one hundred forty dollars, compared with regular pricing of up to two hundred eight dollars, a savings of sixty eight dollars or about thirty three percent. Buyers who commit before year end receive a complimentary Buddy Pass for the summer Grease production and early access to seat selection.

For a small performing company, front loaded ticket sales serve two economic functions. They improve short term cash flow and reduce uncertainty in a season that mixes indoor and outdoor venues. Early revenue helps cover production costs, from rights and staging to local staffing and venue operations, and allows the company to plan marketing and outreach with firmer attendance estimates. For residents, the discounts improve affordability, encouraging households who attend one or two shows to expand to the full season.

The Grease run at Sandstone is likely to be particularly important for local ancillary spending. Outdoor summer runs typically draw larger audiences and out of town visitors, which translates into hotel, restaurant and retail receipts for Farmington and surrounding communities. Complimentary Buddy Passes further lower the marginal cost of attending a summer performance and may nudge single ticket buyers to invite guests, amplifying spillover benefits to the local economy.

Arts access and fiscal sustainability are linked. Lower price points increase inclusivity, while secured early sales reduce the need for emergency fundraising later in the season. Residents can review seating and purchase season tickets at farmingtonshows.com.
