A Message Regarding Recent Events:

Due to COVID-19 precautions, PEAK Performances is postponing the remaining events in the 19-20 Season. The April 2nd - 5th World Premiere of Kate Soper’s The Romance of the Rose will be rescheduled - we anticipate to the next season, but we do not yet have a date. Familie Flöz’s Hotel Paradiso currently slated for May 7th - 10th will also be rescheduled to next season, again we do not yet have a date.

Ticket-holders for these performances will receive information from PEAK Performances' box office directly.

We understand this news will be very disappointing to many, as it is for us. If you are a ticket holder for a postponed performance, your tickets will be automatically transferred to the new date once it is confirmed. If your performance is canceled a refund will be processed, if you cannot make the new date of a postponed performance, you have the following options:

Exchange your tickets into a future PEAK Performances production at no additional charge;

Receive a credit on your account for the value of your tickets;

Donate the value of your tickets as a much-appreciated gift to the PEAK Performance (MSU Foundation);

or Request a refund.

Contact the Box Office at 973.655.5112 for more information about your tickets or email boxoffice@montclair.edu
