Congratulations, you got your tickets to a show at Playhouse Square! Let us help you make your night even better with our Top 10 Tips.
1. First time visiting? We can’t wait to welcome you! Check out our guide for first time guests and find out what to expect here
2. Plan your parking. There are many places to park near Playhouse Square; our parking guide can help you find the best option for you.
3. Make time for photos! Our gorgeous historic theater lobbies, new marquees and Playhouse Square Chandelier, presented by GE Lighting, a Savant company, offer stunning photo ops and selfie backdrops.
4. Wondering what to wear? Guests might dress up for a live theater event and be more casual for a concert, comedy or family show, but ultimately, the choice is yours.
5. Sip and savor. You’ll find a variety of dining options in the Playhouse Square District, plus spots for a coffee or cocktail. Reservations are recommended for some restaurants; visit our dining guide for the 411. Snacks and drinks are available at concession stands in the theaters as well. Our favorite? The soft pretzels!
6. Remember: your phone is your ticket! Playhouse Square uses mobile ticket delivery. Step-by-step instructions are available.
7. Need assistance? Do you or does someone attending with you use a wheelchair, need a hearing assistance device, a large print program or other assistance? View our accessibility information here.
8. Arrive early. We recommend arriving at least 45 minutes before show time. This gives you plenty of time to take photos, get your snacks, visit the merchandise stand, use the restroom and be comfortably in your seat before the performance.
9. Marvel at our Marquees! Step outside and check out our daily “Marquee Moments presented by GE Lighting, a Savant company” – a two-minute show on our marquee and digital displays. Playhouse Square Plaza, at the corner of E. 14th and Euclid, is the perfect viewing spot.
10. Plan your next visit! We are always announcing more great entertainment, so check our website or, better yet, sign up to receive our emails for show announcements and on-sales.
Our theaters will be buzzing this fall with three Broadway shows, three family shows, three dance performances, four concerts, eight fine arts and special events and 11 comedy shows between now and Thanksgiving…and we just might add even more!
We hope you find these tips helpful and look forward to seeing you at Playhouse Square soon.
