If you've got a standing room ticket, sit on the red bench at the north entrance of the theatre and wait until the show is about to begin.

Empty seats will be allocated to people holding standing room tickets at the last minute and if there is still no seat for you when intermission , you'll get a refund.

This is the premiere theatre in the round. It is world-reknown for quality productions.

Did you know there's a subway stop just one block from the Arena Stage? Get off at the Waterfront stop and leave the car home.

Joan Eisenstodt

Eat before you get here! Over-priced, confusing, understaffed. It could be such a nice experience. I liked Le Bon Cafe better.

There is a "pay your age" program but it doesn't apply to standing room tickets.

Don't eat at the cafe there. Awful, overpriced food served on paper plates. Be sure to make dinner plans elsewhere prior. FYI- there are no decent restaurants in the area.
