Improvements at Polonsky Shakespeare Center

Indoor air quality and filtering has been enhanced by installation of an iWave ionization system throughout the facility.

We have enhanced our cleaning procedures, with sanitizing of all high-touch surfaces in the lobby and restrooms before and during each performance. Armrests and guardrails within the Mainstage are sanitized between performances. Assistive listening devices are sanitized before and after each use.

Our Front of House staff will scan tickets for contactless admission.

Late seating is done at the discretion of House Management. If you arrive late, we will seat you at the earliest opportunity. Please keep in mind, however, that we must wait until an appropriate moment in the show to seat latecomers to avoid disrupting the performance. To minimize disruption during late seating, you may be directed to take a seat other than your ticketed location.

Thank you for helping us to preserve the wonderfully intimate setting that our venue provides.

The use of cameras, audio recording devices, and video recording devices of any kind during a performance is strictly prohibited.
