    It's always a great time to see a show here. Very intimate and gives you that feeling of a private "secret club" atmosphere. Wonderful staff and fantastic performers at terrific prices.

    Standing in front of the ticket window, look down to see a second, fairy-sized ticket window. (Look down and to the left of the ticket window to find the the Ark's fairy door!) Read more

    Check out Take a Chance Tuesdays and discover new music. The Ark is the best place to see an intimate show. Sit back, relax and enjoy.

    When choosing your seats, beware of the random poles. Could be a huge bummer for you.
