Policies



At your service

When attending a performance, guests can direct questions or concerns to Flynn volunteer ushers (dressed in white and black). If needed, ushers can contact the house manager, who is responsible for the overall front-of-house operation. To ensure you get to your seat on time, please arrive early for your performance.


Health and Safety Policies

The Flynn is committed to prioritizing the health and well-being of our guests, artists, volunteers, staff, and the community while providing the best guest experience for your visit. We have instituted clear standards and procedures for sanitizing public spaces, and we have made facilities upgrades to adhere to CDC recommendations for air circulation, turnover rates, and air filtration throughout our facilities. The Flynn is happy to welcome the community to the theater and will continue to do everything possible to make it a safe and enjoyable experience for all.

Masks & Vaccination Status

The Flynn encourages everyone to wear a mask while attending a performance to protect yourself and others in the theater. Masks and proof of COVID-19 vaccination status are no longer required.

Please be aware that some shows may require additional health and safety protocols. Please check your show page before coming to the theater to find policy information specific to your show. Some educational programs may require additional health and safety protocols as well. This information can be found on the class event page.

IF YOU ARE SICK, STAY HOME 

If you or someone in your group doesn’t feel well, please stay home. Please call or email the box office to review your ticket options: 802-863-5966 or box@flynnvt.org.


Dancing

Fun is encouraged. If the music moves you, you’re free to show it! If you accidentally dance your way in front of a fire exit or are blocking an aisle, an usher may ask you to please dance in a slightly different location.

 

Late arrivals

Late arrivals will not be seated until a suitable break in the performance, and at the discretion of the house manager and/or artist.


Re-entering the building

We do not allow re-entry into the building at this time.

Children

Any child one year old or older attending a performance must have a ticket and a separate seat. Infants (12 months and under) are welcome to Flynn-presented family events and performances specifically geared to children and will be admitted free of charge. If any infant or young child is disrupting a performance, the Flynn reserves the right to ask a parent to sit with the child in the rear of the theater, or, if need be, to leave the hall.


Blocking aisles

Fire safety codes prohibit the blocking of aisles. Ushers can store your personal belongings safely and securely during performances.

 

Refreshments

All food and beverage purchased from the Flynn concessions is allowed in the theater. No outside food or beverage is allowed.

 

Restrooms

Restrooms are located on the lower level in the rear of the theater—take the down staircase on either side. Three street-level, wheelchair accessible restrooms are available in the lobby, two of which are are family restrooms with changing tables.

 

Cameras

Cameras and tape recorders may not be used during any performance. Artist contracts require violators to be removed from the theater and be liable for damages or injury.

Programs

Main Stage: Programs are now available via a QR code located on the back of every other seat. Use your phone to access the program for the performance.

 

Fragrances

Please avoid the use of perfumes and fragrances when coming to the theater, as many people have allergies to scents. If the perfume of another patron disturbs you, please notify an usher or the house manager and we will attempt to relocate you to another seat.

 

Smoking

The Flynn is a smoke-free building. If the performance has an intermission, a stanchioned area will be set up outside the front doors of the theater. Guests may go outside to smoke within this stanchioned area and then go back into the theater. If a guest leaves the stanchioned area, they will not be allowed back into the theater.


Weapons

The safety and well-being of our patrons, artists, and staff are of the utmost importance. To ensure a safe venue for all, the possession of firearms, fireworks, explosives, incendiary devices, knives, or weapons of any kind is prohibited at the Flynn’s property and facilities, except those carried by law enforcement officers who are on duty. All Flynn visitors and their belongings, such as bags or purses, are subject to search and enforcement, and anyone found in violation will be asked to secure the weapon inside their vehicle or at home or leave the property immediately. No ticket returns, refunds, or exchanges will be made for people found in violation of the Flynn’s weapons ban.


Weather, Cancellations, & Delays



For shows at the Flynn

The Flynn is contractually obligated to pay artists and crew for our performances and therefore rarely cancels a performance due to weather.

Please visit the Flynn website for updates. We immediately post notice of cancellations or postponements on the show's ticketing page. There will also be a “Breaking News” ticker on the top of the home page. If a show goes on as scheduled, we are unable to refund tickets.

In the event of inclement weather, please do not endanger yourself; make sure to give yourself plenty of time to travel and park safely.


For Student Matinee Series shows

The Flynn is contractually obligated to pay artists and crew for our performances and therefore rarely cancels a performance due to weather. If a Student Matinee Series show goes on as scheduled, but a school makes the decision not to attend or is closed and therefore unable to attend, the Flynn will issue a credit to be used within a year of the show date. You may also donate the cost of your canceled reservation to the Flynn’s student matinee subsidy fund, knowing that it will support future shows. Groups will be notified via email no later than 7 am on the morning of your field trip if the performance has been canceled.

PAYMENT POLICY

Full payment is due no later than 30 days before your performance date. You are financially responsible for the payment of your tickets. We do not automatically cancel unpaid invoices, however, if we are unable to contact you, we reserve the right to offer your seats to another group on our waitlist. All Student Matinee sales are final. Paid tickets cannot be refunded or exchanged. Tickets cannot be resold or given to anyone outside of your organization and cannot be resold for profit. 

REFUND POLICY

The Flynn does not provide refunds or exchanges for unused tickets and does not provide refunds or vouchers for anyone absent on the day of a performance. Refunds are issued only if the Flynn cancels a performance. Groups will be notified via email no later than 7 am on the morning of your field trip if the performance has been canceled.


For Flynn Classes and Camps


Payment Policy

Tuition for each class and camp goes towards staff time, facility maintenance, and the supplies we need to offer high-quality, safe, and fun programs for all ages. Thanks to grants, donors, and sponsors, we are able to offer financial assistance to make our programs accessible regardless of economic background. Full payment is required to secure your space in classes. Students are notified if a class is to be canceled due to low registration at least a week in advance and will be refunded in full. If the class or camp you would like to register for is full, email education@flynnvt.org to be placed on a waitlist.

Refund Policy

  • Withdrawal from a class or camp 30 days or more from the start of a session can receive a full refund minus a 25% cancellation fee per program. 
  • Withdrawal 15-30 days from the start of a class or camp session can receive a 50% refund per program.
  • Withdrawals within 14 days of a class or camp's start date are not eligible for any refunds. In unexpected and unavoidable emergencies, please give us a call.  
  • Once a class or camp is in session, there are no refunds or credits for early departure, late arrival, or missed class for any other reason.
