First it was a blockbuster movie starring Whoopi Goldberg. Then it
was a hit Broadway musical that took New York and London by
storm! Now, direct from a successful National Tour, SISTER ACT
comes to our stage in a brand new production as only The Fireside
can give you. This hilarious, tuneful, exciting show tells the tale of
Deloris - a Las Vegas lounge singer who witnesses a murder and is
forced to hide in a convent pretending to be a nun – Sister Mary
Clarence. What follows is a rollicking, fast-paced comedy filled with nuns,
cops, gangsters, mistaken identities, comic chases, rapid fire jokes, and a
terrific score by the Academy Award winning composer of BEAUTY AND THE
BEAST, THE LITTLE MERMAID, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, and NEWSIES.

POLICIES & INFORMATION
Refunds/Cancellations:
ONE DAY TOURS will receive a 100% refund if the cancellation is received 10 or more
days prior to the trip, unless tickets for an event are non-refundable to Able Trek
Tours. In such an instance we will pass those penalties on. Note – most Theater
trips have non-refundable tickets. Cancellations 9 days or less, prior to a trip, will
not receive a refund.
OVERNIGHT TRIPS typically require a 30-day notice to avoid cancellation penalties –
some trips are more restrictive. Prepaid non-refundable expenses such as meals, tickets,
hotels, attractions and motor coach fees, will determine this cancellation penalty.
Travelers who are “no shows” on the day of departure receive no refund
whatsoever. Travelers who are “late” on the day of departure are considered
no shows.
We reserve the right to cancel any trip due to lack of interest (normally 20 passengers
minimum), weather, or whatever reason beyond our control.
Miscellaneous Policies:
TRAVEL INSURANCE is available for each trip. Coverage for medical expenses, trip
cancellation/interruption, baggage damage and much more is available for as low as
$9.60 per person per trip. Contact Able Trek Tours for more information.
SIGNING UP FOR TOURS: Contact our office at (800) 205-6713 or (608) 524-3021 or
email: [email protected] to make a reservation. Please SIGN-UP AT LEAST

about two weeks prior to the trip. Able Trek reserves the rights to cancel any session
(trip) due to insufficient registration. In the event of cancellation by Able Trek Tours,
Travelers will be offered first choice in registering for other open trips, or their fees will
be refunded in full.
WEATHER RELATED POLICY/CANCELLATION:
If the weather forecast is
“questionable” and/or if we feel our travels will be unsafe we will cancel the trip. We
attempt to cancel at least a day in advance of the trip. If we cancel due to the weather
you will receive a full refund (day trips). If we are operating the trip and you choose to
cancel or not do show up due to the weather you are not guaranteed a refund.

designated free times in allowable areas. There is absolutely no smoking in vehicles or
hotel/motel rooms (unless you are in a designated smoking room). Most attractions
have a no smoking policy.
FIREARM POLICY: Firearms, concealed or unconcealed, are not permitted onboard the
motor coaches.
ILLNESS / INJURY: If a participant becomes ill or injured and cannot continue to
travel with the group, and requires transportation home, the participant will be
responsible for such transportation costs. Able Trek offers travel insurance at an
additional fee which may cover your transportation home in the event of an illness or
accident. Contact Able Trek for more information.
FUEL SURCHARGE & TRIP ALTERATIONS: In the event of rising fuel costs, and/or
airfares, Able Trek Tours, Inc. reserves the right to add a surcharge, not to exceed 10%
of the trips cost. Because of ever-changing attractions, shows, schedules, etc., Able
Trek Tours reserves the right to make substitutions and changes in the trips when
necessary.
