What happens if it
rains?
If it starts to rain in the middle of the performance, we simply
move to show to our big tent on the other side of the marina. If
more severe weather is forecast, performances will be held indoors
at St.
Andrew's Presbyterian Church.
Being outdoors
and by the water, are mosquitos a problem?
We don't like to turn anyone away from our shows, but some
visitors are less welcome than others! We have a mosquito trap
placed in the amphitheatre, which makes a big difference, but if
you are particularly sensitive to mosquitoes you might want to
bring some insect repellant with you, just in case.
What are the seating
arrangements?
We recommend that you bring a folding chair, blanket or cushion
with you, but if you prefer, a limited number of folding chairs are
available to rent for $2 each, with proceeds going to the Rotary
Club of Prescott.
We open the amphitheatre for you to place your chairs 30 minutes
before the start of the show.
How do I buy
tickets?
Call us during regular office hours to make a reservation and you
can use a credit card to pay over the phone. You will then be able
to collect your tickets at the amphitheatre on the night of the
performance. Click here
to get more details on Tickets.
Can I
buy tickets at the door?
Yes! Our box office opens at the amphitheatre 45 minutes before
the start of the performance. We accept cash, cheques, Visa and
Mastercard.
Where can we
park?
Prescott has a number of free parking lots, all within walking
distance of the amphitheatre. The largest can be found right beside
the river at the end of Centre Street (turn south at the Clock
Tower!)
Can we get
refreshments?
The lighthouse in the harbour stocks some yummy soft-serve ice
cream. At the amphitheatre itself, we sell a selection of water,
pop and candy bars, with proceeds going to the Rotary Club of
Prescott.
How long is
intermission?
Intermission lasts 15 minutes. You're welcome to bring your
refreshments back into the amphitheatre with you.
Will the plays be
suitable for my children?
We strive to make our productions accessible for audiences of all
ages, but we realize that every family must set their own
guidelines. If you have any concerns about the play's subject
matter or language, we encourage you to contact us before buying
your tickets to discuss whether it will be appropriate for your
children.
I'm an actor - how
do I audition for the Festival?
Auditions are usually held early in the new year. Professional
actors who are interested in being considered for casting are
requested to send their headshot, resume and a short covering
letter outlining their interest in the Festival to our Artistic
Director.
