We believe theatre is inclusive and communal. We welcome you to our neighborhood, and hope you enjoy your time here. You are encouraged to dress to your style, and to feel comfortable bringing your authentic self to our home, and we rely on you to allow others to do the same.

The Box Office opens one-hour before curtain, and tickets may be purchased or picked up at that time. House seating for the Shakespeare Gardens begins 45-minutes prior to curtain. House seating for the Black Box begins 30-minutes prior to curtain. Patrons may wait in the lobby prior to House open.

We are located in the Paseo Arts District in Oklahoma City. Our address is 2920 Paseo, Oklahoma City, OK 73103. We have a 55-seat indoor Black Box theatre, and a 200-seat outdoor theatre, named The Shakespeare Gardens, directly behind our building. Access is granted to both through our front door.

Parking is limited in the Paseo, so we encourage you to arrive 20-30 minutes early. Patrons arriving late will be seated at the discretion of House Management. There are no refunds for late arrivals or missed performances.

Our outdoor venue is “Picnic Friendly,” and we encourage you to bring the food of your choice, but we do not allow outside beverages. We offer service in The Mermaid Tavern, selling both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and light snacks. No outside food is permitted in the Black Box.

RESERVED PATIO SEATING - chair, cushion, and table provided. LAWN GENERAL ADMISSION - bring your own lawn chair or blanket or rent one from us (supplies limited). Chair seating towards the rear and sides, blankets down front. Space is limited, so be prepared to adjust your position, if requested.

Indoor seating is provided on cushioned theatre seats and is reserved.

Oklahoma Shakespeare will not cancel on the prediction of rain. Performances are cancelled only when adverse conditions persist during the scheduled performance time. In the event of a rainout, “Rain Checks” will be offered to patrons in attendance.

Please, out of respect for our performers, and your fellow patrons, do not attempt to record or photograph actors during the performance. Violators of this policy may be asked to leave. Photos and videos may be taken at other times, and we encourage you to share and tag #okshakespeare.

We welcome children of any age to The Shakespeare Gardens, but limit admission to those age 7 or older for indoor performances, with the special exception of our Christmas show, for which children of all ages are encouraged to attend! Please review our "Content Guide" for patron age suitability.

Shakespeare loved dogs, and we do, too; but unfortunately, we don't have the facility to accommodate them, at this time, so please leave your puppers at home. Service animals with tags or medallions are welcome.
