Donating to The Gary-The Olivia Performing Arts Center
Donations to The Gary-The Olivia Performing Arts Center/ Abbey of Regina Laudis are tax deductible. Please check with your tax advisor for more information on donating to a nonprofit organization.

General Admission Policy
The Gary-The Olivia Theater at the Abbey of Regina Laudis has a general admission policy. Seats are allocated on a “first come, first served” basis. If you are purchasing admission at the box office prior to an individual performance please allow adequate time (typically 1 hr before performance starts) for parking, admission and seating. 

Online Admission
Theatergoers may now purchase admission online at www.thegarytheolivia.com.  As some of our performances are “sold out,” this allows us to redirect you to an alternate performance date where seats are available.

Please note: This option does not reserve you a specific seat but rather ensures you will have a seat for a specific performance under the general admission guidelines. We use PayPal for the online admission interface and admission purchase. Please print off the PayPal page that describes the specifics of your purchase and bring it with you to the box office for proof of purchase.

Upon completion of your online purchase your name is immediately entered onto the master list held at the box office. You may also simply tell the box office attendants your name when you and your party arrive at the theater and you will be admitted.
