We understand things can change quickly and unexpectedly. If you are unable to attend your scheduled performance, we offer free exchanges to the same production, no questions asked. Just get in touch with the box office at 610-644-3500 or email us at tickets@peopleslight.org.
Please note, tickets cannot be exchanged between productions. In the case that you do miss your performance and do not reschedule, you can receive a tax letter upon request.
People's Light is not currently distributing physical tickets to ensure a contactless check in process. You do not need to pick anything up upon your arrival at the theatre. You will receive an email confirmation, as well as a letter in the mail following your purchase. When you arrive at your scheduled performance, you can bring this email or letter with you, or simply provide the name under which your tickets were purchased. You may also make use of our new electronic ticketing feature. E-tickets will be emailed to you ahead of your performance, or you can download them directly from your online account at PeoplesLight.org.
If your performance is cancelled due to inclement weather or conditions out of the theatre’s control, the Box Office will notify you in a timely manner. In the days following the cancelled performance, the Box Office will contact you again to exchange your tickets to another performance of that production.
If a situation should arise where Covid has impacted the ability for a specific performance or an entire production to go on as planned, the box office will be in touch with you directly to discuss next steps and additional options.

Giving your tickets to friends or family is a great way to make sure your tickets don’t go unused. You do not need to inform the Box Office unless you need to change the date or time. (Just make sure whoever is attending the performance knows what name the tickets are held under!)
New this season, People’s Light staff will seat you in-the-moment upon your arrival (think: how a host might seat you at a restaurant). While you will have a chance to communicate seating needs or requests when purchasing tickets or subscriptions, you will not be able to select specific seats ahead of time. We intend to seat everyone with care, based on the size of your party or accessibility needs, and will do our best to accommodate seating requests. This new arrangement allows for social distancing if and when needed.
We will strive to meet seating needs specified at the time of your ticket purchase, but we will be conscious to seat patrons in accordance with social distancing guidelines. Accessible seating will always be prioritized.
If you order tickets online, please select "Accessible Seating" under "Available Sections". If you order tickets by phone or in person, please inform the Box Office if anyone in your party requires accessible seating. These are reserved front row seats that are limited in number. We will strive to meet seating needs specified at the time of your ticket purchase, but will be conscious to seat patrons in accordance with social distancing guidelines. Accessible seating will always be prioritized. Please call the Box Office at 610.644.3500 if you have any concerns.
All ticket sales are final, meaning that there are no refunds. However, you can donate your unused tickets in exchange for a tax letter. You can receive a tax letter by mailing in your unused tickets with a note specifying that you would like a tax letter.

Yes, all our ticketing pages are secure. You can verify by noting the URL of those pages. Normally when browsing the web, the URL of any website (web page addresses) begins with the letters "http". However, over a secure connection the address displayed will begin with "https" - note the "s" at the end. When you click on the "Buy Tickets" link on any of our production pages and proceed to the shopping cart, the corresponding ticketing page is secure. Notice the change in the URL? It now begins with "https," meaning your ticketing transaction will be encrypted before being sent to our server.
A preview performance is an opportunity for the director, cast, and crew to fine-tune the show based on the response of a live audience. Often there will be slight adjustments made before critics are invited to attend on opening night.
There are no obstructed views in our theatres.

We don't typically recommend bringing children under the age of 5, but every child (and every production) is different. Our holiday productions are well-suited for all ages but are not ideal for babies and infants. Each person attending a production, including a child, must have a ticket. We do offer a Relaxed Performance for each production, which is open to parents with infants and toddlers. Relaxed Performances provide a welcoming environment that lets all our patrons express themselves freely, without judgment or inhibition.
We have an age suggestion for every play performed here, which can be found on the webpage for each production. To learn more about specific themes or situations in a production, call the Box Office at 610.644.3500.
People’s Light is a casual environment. We do not adhere to a specific dress code other than requiring that you be fully clothed including shoes. We believe the most important thing is that you feel comfortable and enjoy the production. You may want to bring a sweater with you in case the theatre is chilly.
Please visit our Health and Safety page, which we will continue to update as the season continues.

We strive to begin performances on time. Seating latecomers is disruptive to our actors and audience members due to the intimacy of our theatres. Latecomers will be seated in easily-accessible seats at specific intervals determined in advance by the production’s director. We do not issue refunds to latecomers, although exchanges are available.
We strongly recommend you turn your cell phone completely off to prevent interference with our sound system and to ensure that no distracting noises accidentally occur.
Everything on the stage is protected by copyright law. Taking pictures, video or audio recording before, during, or after a performance is strictly prohibited.
If you need to leave during the performance please be as discreet as possible to limit the distraction to our actors and other theatre patrons. Once you are ready to go back into the theatre, please wait for the House Manager to direct you back to your seat. Please be aware that actors will occasionally use the aisles throughout certain productions. For the actors' safety, as well as your own, the House Management team will allow you to return to the theatre during a time that will avoid any harm to yourself or the actors.
Both the Steinbright Stage and the Leonard C. Haas Stage have concessions counters featuring coffee, soda, beer, wine, tea and water, as well as cookies, brownies, ice cream, candy, and gluten-free pretzels. We are still in the process of assessing what concessions will look like throughout our 2021/2022 season. Find out more on our Health & Safety page.
We are still in the process of assessing what concessions will look like throughout our 2021/2022 season. Find out more on our Health & Safety page.
You can avoid the line by pre-ordering your concessions when you arrive to the theatre! Find a member of the House Management staff to help you make your intermission snack or beverage purchase. We accept debit cards, credit cards and cash.
If you’ve missed your scheduled performance, please call the Box Office at 610.644.3500. While we do not offer refunds for missed performances, we may be able to exchange you into another date and time as availability allows.
Our post-show discussions are called AfterWORDS and are held on Thursday evenings. If additional AfterWORDS are scheduled, they will be listed on the production page for each play. We are currently assessing whether or not we are able to host AfterWORDS for the 2021/2022 Season and will post further information as soon as it becomes available.
