Repeating classes:

• Leveled classes, i.e. Improv Level I: The Foundations can be repeated with a $50 discount off the original $175 price, if it has been decided by the instructor that they are not ready to progress to the next level. This does not apply to folks who need to repeat a class due to absences. Please email us to inquire about a discount code, which can then be entered at checkout to redeem the discount.

Reduced/free Admission for current students:

• All current students are kept in our records, and will be allowed to redeem free or reduced admission to most Focus Theater productions.  This does not apply to special events or independent productions taking place in the theater.  
• Students may be asked to give up discounted seats to customers paying full price in the event of sold out productions.  The Focus Theater reserves the right to update or change this policy at any time, as needed.

Refund policy:

• All sales are final. If you cannot attend the class you registered for your tuition can be credited for classes at a later time.  However, you must contact the Focus Theater Training Center BEFORE the class and/or session begins. Credit for future classes can not be used if correspondence is received after the session begins.
