KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Where is the play being held?

The performance takes place at DSCC’s newly remodeled First Citizens National Bank Auditorium. On-site and accessible parking are available near the main entrance.

What is Never After Happily about?

This hilarious and heartfelt play by Cindy Marcus explores what happens after the fairy tale. A mix of comedy, chaos, and sisterhood, it follows several fairy tale characters — who confront life, love, and reality. A fresh, witty look at the stories we thought we knew.

Ticket Prices: Adults – $10, Children (ages 5–12) – $5. We ask that children under 5 be seated in a parent’s lap.

Your ticket price includes a small processing fee, which helps ensure more of your purchase directly supports the Dyersburg-Dyer County Arts Council and its creative work. This allows us to invest in a wide range of local arts—from theater to visual arts, music, dance, literary events, and more. Thank you for supporting the arts in our community!

When do doors open?

Doors open 1 hour before showtime. Pre-show entertainment begins 30 minutes before curtain. Pre-show entertainment includes lobby music, photo ops, and more. Come early and make it a night out!

What time does the show start?

Curtain is at 7:00 PM for evening performances and 2:00 PM for Sunday matinees. Please arrive early so we can start on time and silence your mobile devices.

Nope! Digital tickets are welcome — just show your confirmation email on your phone or other device at the door. If you’d prefer to print your ticket and show it at the door, that’s perfectly fine! We'll also have a list of all ticket holders.

Can I donate to support local theatre?

Absolutely! You can make an optional donation when purchasing your tickets or at the event. There will also be a booth in the lobby where you can learn more about becoming an Arts Council supporter, ongoing supporter, or member. Your generosity helps fund costumes, sets, licensing, and future productions—as well as other special events and artistic programs supported by the Arts Council. We’re always looking for ways to highlight and showcase a wide variety of art forms beyond theater, and your support makes it all possible!
