This production will be performed at St. Stephen's Theater, which is conveniently located at 923 Ludlow Street in Center City Philadelphia. We regret that both the seating area and restrooms require navigating a flight of stairs and are therefore not accessible to patrons using a wheelchair; no elevator service is available. We are, however, able to accommodate patrons with early seating or other special needs; please let us know how we may assist you.

Everyone other than the actors on stage must wear properly fitted masks at all times in all parts of our venue, including the performance space, lobby, restrooms, stairwells, etc. Thank you for your cooperation with these safety protocols that help protect you, our staff and crew, and our unmasked actors – and help avoid unfortunate performance cancellations.
