Frequently Asked Questions

How much are tickets? Our Shakespeares are offered to everyone for free thanks to PNC Bank! Our musicals are $20 for adults and $10 for those under 12. Though some of our programming is free, our bills are not! If you are able to make a donation at some point during your stay with us, that’d be greatfully appreciated.

Where are the shows? All of our seasons performances are located at our new black-box theatre, The Shakes Space, kindly donated by the awesome folks at The Marketplace at Steamtown.

Will tickets sell out? We’re expecting high demand, so we recommend you book those tickets ahead of time. You’ve got to make sure to use them though, or cancel in plenty of time or your other reservations are at risk of being cancelled.
