Denton theatergoers can choose their ticket price for Saturday afternoon’s performance of The Night Witches at Texas Woman’s University, but the discounted option requires a trip to the box office.

The Oct. 24 matinee starts at 2 p.m. CDT at Redbud Theater, 1401 Oakland St. Pay-what-you-can tickets are sold in person beginning one hour before the show, at 1 p.m. TWU suggests $3 but accepts any amount. Tickets bought online carry the regular price.

The play, an original work by TWU associate professor Steven Young, draws on the all-female Soviet bomber pilots of World War II. It opened the university’s 2026–27 theater season Oct. 21 and runs through Sunday, Oct. 25.

Remaining performances are Thursday and Friday, Oct. 22–23, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, Oct. 24, at 2 and 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, Oct. 25, at 2 p.m. All times are CDT.

Regular tickets cost $10 for adults, including TWU faculty and staff, and $5 for students, children and seniors. The university asks patrons to arrive at least 15 minutes early and cautions that not all productions are appropriate for children. Call the box office at 940-898-2020 with questions about the show or tickets.
