Enjoy the Play
Prepare by learning a bit about the play. Printed playbills and souvenir programs as well as www.bard.org contain in-depth play information.
Arrive at least fifteen to thirty minutes early in order to take care of personal needs (drink, restroom, etc.) before you enter the theatre.
Keep in mind that if you are late or leave the theatre during the performance, you will be admitted back inside by house management only at an appropriate time during the production.
Talking or even whispering during the performance is distracting to everyone around you, including the actors. Please be courteous.
Keep cell phones turned off and put away during the performance. Everyone around you will be distracted if you take even a quick glance at a text message. Best of all, have fun and enjoy! The magic of the theatre is only possible with you!

“Shakespeare-under-the-Stars” sometimes necessitates a poncho or a light wrap, so come prepared. The Engelstad Shakespeare Theatre is an outdoor space, with limited covering over the audience and stage. Performances will continue during inclement weather, possibly after short delays. We will make every effort to complete the performance, even if it is raining. Umbrellas are not allowed, but rain ponchos are appropriate and available for sale. If a performance is canceled before intermission, a credit will be issued to all guests in attendance at the performance. The Festival will not issue credits if the show is canceled after intermission.
