Much Ado About Nothing

As is true in all seasons, summer weather can be unpredictable in Pittsburgh, so here is some information on our protocols around inclement weather to help keep everyone safe as we enjoy Outdoor Summer Shakespeare together!

All performances will move forward in the stated location as planned, unless we communicate otherwise. In the event of light rain, wind, or normally elevated summer temperatures, we will proceed with an outdoor performance. We may make small adjustments to the performance, or delay or pause the performance for up to 20 minutes until weather conditions improve.

In the event of extreme weather, we will communicate a change to an indoor location through social media and our ticketing page no less than two hours before the scheduled curtain time. Weather events that will necessitate moving a performance indoors include:
-A greater than 50% chance of thunder and lightning during the show
-A heat index of 95 degrees or more during the show
-An air quality alert
-Any other combination of conditions that we deem as unsafe for outdoor performance

If dangerous and conditions materialize after we have made an official call, we may delay, pause, or cancel the performance altogether. We will pause any performance for a minimum of 10 minutes if there is a recorded lightning strike within 5 miles of the performance space.

We also have other levels of donation available on our ticketing site. The minimum advance ticket donation is $5 per person, but $0 tickets will be available on the day. Reserving tickets through our ticketing site helps us to anticipate attendance and better accommodate our audience.

We are happy to help you transfer your tickets to a different performance, but all transactions are final.
