Subscriptions and single tickets to the 2021/2022 Season are on sale now! We're excited to welcome audiences back into our theatres with six fully staged live productions.
Recommended protocols may shift with evolving local and national guidelines, so please check the most up-to-date information on our Health and Safety page.
Our flexible 3, 4, 5, and 6-Play packages allow you to join us at any point in our season when you feel most comfortable doing so. While our season begins with A Christmas Carol in late November, you may purchase tickets or subscriptions as late as you want, as availability allows. We will not be carrying subscriber seating over from our last in-person season at this time, so your seats are not in jeopardy. Take your time, and make the decision that is right for you and your family.
If you do not feel comfortable attending productions as early as November, we encourage you to make the decision that is right for you. Our flexible 3, 4, 5, and 6-Play packages allow you to join us at any point in our season when you feel most comfortable doing so.
We also recognize that many continue to benefit from digitally streamed theatre, and strive to reach audiences wherever they are—including at home! A filmed version of A Christmas Carol, as well as a special film-only adaptation of Heather Raffo's 9 Parts of Desire will be available to stream right here at peopleslight.org. We hope to offer more digital access to titles throughout the season. Click here for more info.
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.
Your subscriber seats are not in jeopardy. This season we will be piloting an adapted version of General Admission seating. People’s Light staff will seat patrons in-the-moment upon arrival (think: how a host might seat you at a restaurant). We understand that not everyone will feel comfortable to return to theatre this year, so we've created this system to maintain safety while assuring our long-time subscribers that their seats will not be lost if they do not wish to subscribe at this time.
These passes will be valid for redemption into the 2021/2022 season, as promised. A Box Office representative will be in touch with you shortly to discuss your options for redeeming these passes purchased during the 2020/2021 season.
You will receive your ticket mailing in the beginning of October, 2021. After this time, ticket mailing will be sent out on a rolling basis. If you have any questions or concerns about your tickets or selected dates, please reach out to us at tickets@peopleslight.org or 610-644-3500.
For all you People's Light holiday veterans, A Christmas Carol is not a panto. But it is music-filled, interactive fun for every age—whether you believe in spirits or not.
Box Office hours are Monday-Friday, 12-5pm. When in performance, the Box Office is available Monday-Sunday, 12pm-curtain.
As health and safety protocols evolve, Box Office staff might be working remotely on select days. Please call ahead before making an in-person visit outside of a scheduled performance time.

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.
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.
The doors to the theatre will open approximately 45 minutes before the start of the performance. Your name is your ticket, so no physical tickets will be available at will-call.
To purchase additional tickets, visit the will call desk at the location corresponding with your performance. There is a will-call location in both the Leonard C. Haas and the Steinbright stages.
A member of the Box Office Staff will be stationed at the will call desk of the appropriate theatre one hour before the performance’s curtain. Your name is your ticket, so no physical tickets will be available at will-call.
To purchase additional tickets, visit the will call desk at the location corresponding with your performance. There is a will-call location in both the Leonard C. Haas and the Steinbright stages.
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.

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.

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.
Yes! Check out our Ticket Discounts page for details.

No children under the age of 5 are permitted. Every person, including a child, attending a production must have a ticket.

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.
People’s Light has its own large and well-lit parking lot, located on our property, with plenty of spaces for both the Leonard C. Haas and Steinbright theatres. Parking at People's Light is always FREE.

- Please turn off cell phones, wristwatch alarms and beepers for the duration of the show.

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. Ticketed seats may then be taken at intermission. 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.

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.
