You’ll be enjoying our performance on the lawn! We encourage guests to bring a blanket or lawn chair to sit on. Guests are expected to honor the following arrangement: low-back chairs in the front and high-back chairs in the back. Blankets can be placed in either section, but arrive earlier if you want to adjust location for best sight-lines. We also have sand chairs available for rent at our Shoppe. For covered seating on a concrete floor, we offer VIP Pavilion seating available for purchase.
Patrons are more than welcome to bring food. You may also arrange for a pre-show food delivery with DoorDash or UberEats. We are not responsible for locating you in the audience if your food is delivered after the show begins. We're also BYOB! Adults 21+ may bring beer and wine to the park. Please note, however, that we do not permit the consumption of hard liquor on our property.
For the safety and comfort of all visitors, pets are not allowed in the park. Only working service animals assisting their owners will be admitted. If you have a well-behaved dog who loves Shakespeare, we allow canine patrons on select evenings at our Bark in the Park events. Bark in the Park will be held every Tuesday and Wednesday from June 24-July 16 for our Summer 2025 season. Email us at info@shakepearedallas.org with questions.
We have ADA compliant seating at the Samuell-Grand. Please see a staff member or volunteer if you need help determining the best route for a wheelchair.
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 will be made no later than 30 minutes after curtain/start time nightly (approx. 9:15pm for summer performances or 8:30pm for fall performances). Our social media pages (@shakespearedallas) will be updated with the most recent information available on cancellations.
