Important Information About Buying Tickets
Commonwealth Sanctuary does not honor third-party ticket sales. To attend our events, you must purchase through the Commonwealth Sanctuary Eventbrite links provided on this site, or in-person at the door.

If you need to request a refund for your tickets, do so through the Eventbrite app.
OUR SERVICE
We are pleased to offer you many delicious food and drink options during our events. During our comedy and music concerts we utilize a silent service system and full table service. To order, you fill out a small form with the items from the menu that you want, place atop the table center piece, and a server picks it up, fills your order, and brings it to you. This system allows for a near distraction-free environment for our performances. During our other events, we utilize counter service from our concession stand.
OUR EVENTS
Unless otherwise noted, our events are open to all ages. However, some of our events, like stand-up comedy, may contain content that some guests will find offensive, or inappropriate for some age groups. We encourage audience members to do their own research before attending a performance or event to ensure their own comfort while in attendance. Guests under 18 years of age must attend with an adult.
OUR FACILITY
Commonwealth Sanctuary is housed in the recently renovated, historic former Tower Methodist Church, originally built in 1914. It is no longer a church! Rather, we have converted the purpose of this beautiful old building to bringing you exquisitely curated live entertainment. We have, however, gone to great lengths to preserve the original character of the building while updating for it’s new purpose. We retained all the original stained glass windows and custom-built, curved pews.
We have added a full concession stand with draft beer and wine, as well as many canned drinks, including cocktails and Delta-9 beverages. We partner with local Dayton, KY business Kate’s Catering for our prepared food options. We have added full lighting and sound systems, as well as a complete broadcast-quality video system for recording events and live podcasts. We are exclusively partnered with Third Rule Media to produce our recorded content.
ACCESSIBILITY
NOTE: Because of the age and architecture of the building, this facility is not wheelchair accessible.
