Refunds and Exchanges
Shakespeare Dallas has a strict no refund policy, except for the over-charging of goods and services (for example, purchasing 2 tickets and being charged for 4). Our tickets are flexible, so you're always able to use the ticket you've purchased for another night. In the event of a weather-related cancellation of a show, rain checks are issued so that our patrons may have every opportunity to see another performance. Refunds may only be issued for show cancellations during the last weekend of performances.
While it is usually sunny and breezy at the park, weather conditions in North Texas can change rapidly. No performance will be canceled due to weather prior to show time. The decision to delay or cancel a performance is made at curtain/ start time nightly (8:45pm for summer performances, 8:00pm for fall performances). Our social media pages will be updated with the most recent information available on cancellations.
