“I have questions.”
“Of course you do.”
“Who do I ask?”
“Is that your first question?”
(“what?”)
“May I suggest you ask a clown. They can not lie…on second thought..Never trust a clown.
Bottom line: it depends on the clown.”
Let’s start over:
WHERE IS THE THEATER?
The NAMBA Performing Arts Space is located at 407 South Oak Street, Ventura, CA 93001.
WHERE ARE MY TICKETS?
“Great question! Charlie has them. “
“Who’s Charlie?”
Don’t listen to them (that was one of the clowns typing). Your tickets will be waiting for you at our will call desk in front of your theatre’s entrance 1/2 an hour prior to curtain.
IS THE MATERIAL SUITABLE FOR ALL AGES?
No. There are adult themes and language involved. I suggest you use your discretion.
But I heard there were clowns?
Not clowns in the birthday party /circus sense. But also not clowns in the Stephen King/Horror film/’killer clowns’ sense either. Our clowns reach back to theatre in its original source. A bit of Comedia-de-arte with a twist.
And, of course, many of our shows don’t employ clowns at all. But to your first question, pretty much ALL our shows have been written with an adult audience in mind.
Back to the clowns; which productions include clowns and which ones don’t?
You will recognize us by our Theatre Ghosts logo. If you see the clown nose… yeah, there may be clowns.
TALK TO ME ABOUT SEATING…
Do you have a Late Seating Policy?
Great question. I don’t have the answer. I will be following up with NAMBA on this. There is limited seatibnfg so… I woukld recommend you get your tickerts sooner than later ($20 on line / $25 at the door).
I can’t make it to the show. Can I have a refund or exchange?
All ticket sales are final. There are no refunds.
The show is sold out! Can I join a waitlist?
Yes! Contact NAMBA directly.
At show time, we will begin admitting patrons from the waitlist in order until we run out of unassigned seats.
ARE YOU ADA COMPLIANT?
Why? Who told you differently?
Short answer: Yes: We are ADA compliant. However, seating is limited, so do let us know if you require any accommodations so we can best attend to your needs.
AND DARE I ASK ABOUT PARKING?
Ahhhhhhhhh yes. Parking … There is ample street parking (unlike Downtown LA) but alas, and a few nearby parking lots. First come, first serve (you know how it goes). But as always parking can be limited dependent on other events in the area. Be sure to leave yourself plenty of time to park and make it to the theater.
CAN I TAKE IN MY BAGS?
“Why do you have a bag? What’s in your bag? Groceries? TUNA FISH on rye!?”
Hand bags or purses, of course can be brought into the theater. Also, food and beverages purchased from our concessions are allowed inside the theater. Outside bottles of water are also allowed inside the theater.
SO, WHERE IS A GOOD HOTEL NEARBY?
Yeah…. I don’t really know much on that one… I’ll ask around and update this when I have more info but… why would you want to stay in town?
WHERE’S THE BEST DINING NEARBY?
Trick question:
That depends upon your pallet now, doesn’t it? There are a smorgasbord of delicacies, specialties and fast food within walking, let alone driving distance.
