Please Note: If you are planning to attend a ticketed performance or registered event outside of these venues, you will NOT have access to in-person ticket sales. This means you will be unable to purchase tickets or register for events in-person at these venues. These venues include A Space Gallery, Helen Gardiner Playhouse, and Delta Upsilon Fraternity House. Patrons looking to purchase tickets or register for events at these venues may do so online, using their own electronic device, right up until the start time of the performance or event they wish to attend.
Performance Information
The house will generally be open ten (10) minutes prior to the scheduled performance/event time, unless otherwise specified. A Patron Services team member will ask you to line up in the lobby prior to entry. Seating is first-come, first-served. You must present your e-ticket on your electronic device or as a print-out to be scanned at the venue doors.
All shows start on time. Latecomers will not be guaranteed entry. Some performances and events may have a late call, at which time a Patron Services team member or a volunteer will bring you into the performance/event space. If you need to leave the space for any reason during the performance/event you may not be guaranteed re-entry.
Designated shows offering Relaxed Performances or Relaxed Environments allow for both latecomers and re-entry. For specific information on Relaxed Performances/Environments at SummerWorks, visit our Accessibility Page.

Sensory Advisories (ie. use of haze, strobe effects, loud or sudden sounds, etc.) will be listed on the individual web page for each performance/event, and in some cases posted onsite at the venue.
Content Advisories (ie. mature or disturbing subject matter, nudity, depictions of violence, etc.) can be accessed via a link on the individual web page for each performance/event, which you can choose to follow for more information if you wish. Some content warnings may also be posted onsite at the venue.
