Q: How do I order tickets?

​A:  You can purchase tickets online here.  Limited Tickets may also be available at the ticket table the night of each performance. If a show is sold out, we will allow box office sales of any unclaimed reservations beginning at 10 minutes to curtain.  Box Office opens at one hour before curtain.

Q:  Are dogs or other animals allowed?

​A:  No dogs or other animals are allowed at performances, with the exception of specifically trained ADA Service Animals.   Please, for the comfort and safety of all our patrons, emotional support animals or pets are not permitted.  

 

Q:  I'm confused about what type of chair to bring - what do you recommend?

A:  Great Question.  Please bring a standard height lawn chair.  This means a seat that is approximately 15-18 inches from the ground.  In the past we have recommended low chairs, but since building our new unit set with its raised stage floor, standard seat height affords not only comfort, but best visibility as well.  Our new set greatly enhances visibility, making every seat a good seat. Front row blanket seating is available in limited  amounts.

 

Q: Is your performance space ADA/wheelchair accessible? 

A: Assisted Parking is available at a lot close to the performance space.  Please alert the gate volunteer of your need, and they will direct you to the location reserved for assisted parking.

Q: Can I bring food to the show?

A: Yes! Pack your picnic basket with whatever pleases you. We only ask that you do not bring in outside alcohol, but instead purchase wine by the glass or bottle from Filipponi Wine Cellars, generous hosts of the Shakespeare Festival

 

Q: What is the ticket refund policy?

A: The space is open to audience members an hour before the show begins. Please arrive at least  10 minutes before show time.  If a show is sold out, we will begin allowing door sales of any unclaimed reservations at 10 minutes to curtain.  Arriving early also allows you the time to enjoy your picnic and spend time with your party while the actors warm up and prepare for the show.
