What do I do when I arrive at the performance site?

Please always check in with the box office, even if you already have your tickets with you. We do this so we will know when all patrons have arrived, as we do not seat latecomers. Follow the "Q" signs to the box office.

What happens if, due to unforeseen circumstances, I arrive late for a performance?

There is no late seating at Quantum Theatre. We do this because of the intimate design of many of our performance spaces, in order to prevent disruptions to both the actors on stage and the audience members already seated.

Subscribers may exchange their tickets for another performance of the same production, as long as the exchange is made prior to your scheduled attendance date.

What is your inclement weather policy?

Performances are rarely cancelled. For outdoor performances, a decision will not be made until very close to performance time. We will most often choose to delay the start time rather than cancel a performance. If you have questions or concerns (and bearing in mind the amount of time required for your own travel to the site), you may call 412.362-1713 beginning 30 mins prior to performance time for an update. As long as the show takes place, there are no refunds or exchanges.
