Ogunquit Playhouse

Policies and Guidelines
With the recent increase in COVID variants in our area, people are understandably concerned about safety protocols. Here on the Playhouse campus, we remain masked while bodies are in motion. While masks are optional when seated for performances, we strongly encourage you to be cognizant and considerate of fellow patrons seated around you. If masked, they may be immunocompromised, live with family who are, or have unvaccinated children. Our commitment to this community is what has allowed us to create live theatre experiences this year, and we want everyone to remain healthy so that can continue.

Our Main Stage productions often contain mature content, language, and themes that may not be suitable for all children. We leave it up to parents and families to determine what is appropriate for their young ones.

Full paid admission is required for ages 4 and above. Children under the age of 3 are free, so long as they remain on the lap of a parent or guardian.

Ogunquit Playhouse wants every patron who attends our performances to enjoy themselves. Any patron disrupting and hindering that enjoyment will be removed from the venue at the discretion of House Management.

Running Times
Performance run times vary from show to show and will be published on individual show pages when available.

Photos & Recordings
Photos may be taken prior to and following a show, but are strictly prohibited during the performance itself. House Management will intervene when patrons violate this policy.

Seating & Late Arrivals
The House opens 30 minutes prior to every performance. Late arriving patrons will be seated at the discretion of House Management.

Accessibility
Wheelchairs & Walkers
Wheelchair seating is available in specific locations throughout The Leary Pavilion. If a patron requires use of a wheelchair or seated walker on the day of performance and is not already seated in an accessible area, we ask you call the Box Office (207.646.5511) 24 hours in advance so House Management can prepare for that change.

Assisted Listening Devices
Assisted listening devices are available prior to the performance at no additional charge. These help reduce ambient noise in the Pavilion.

BOX OFFICE INFO
Patio Cabaret Rain Delay
Playhouse staff monitors all potential inclement weather and will make every effort to postpone a performance.

If inclement weather occurs 30 minutes prior to a performance, Playhouse staff will alert patrons to remain in their vehicles until further notice.

If inclement weather begins during a performance, staff will ask patrons to return to their vehicles and await further instructions.

If inclement weather clears after 30 minutes, staff will wipe down the seating area, and invite patrons to return to the Patio.

If inclement weather continues after 30 minutes, the performance will be cancelled and staff will send patrons home.

If a performance is cancelled, the Box Office will offer patrons the option to exchange into a future performance or receive a full refund.

For Your Visit
This Season, our performances take place in the 25,000 square foot, steel structured, FULLY COVERED, Leary Pavilion on the South lawn of our campus, protected from lightning, heavy rain, high winds, and hail. Seating is on a flat natural surface, configured in pods of two seats, staggered for optimal sight lines to the stage. Photography and video recording are not permitted during the performance.

The Playhouse parking lots open 1 hour prior to showtime. Handicapped parking is located to the right of the main entrance in front of The Pavilion. VIP and General parking are located to the left in the North lot. Drop-offs are welcome and encouraged in front of the Playhouse. Volunteers are available to assist you with any parking needs.

Beverages and snacks are sold at our two bars (inside the Pavilion and on the Patio). Patrons must be at least 21 years old with valid ID to purchase and consume alcohol. We reserve the right to refuse service to individuals who are visibly intoxicated

Concessions and the Gift Shop are cashless this Season. Please have a credit or debit card with you for purchases.

Air Conditioning and Heating
The Leary Pavilion is an open air venue, neither air conditioned in the Summer nor heated in the Fall.

As a beach community, we only ask that you are appropriately dressed for a causal outing. Also, please dress for the weather, as The Leary Pavilion is an outdoor performance venue.

Severe Weather
In the event we experience higher sustained winds prior to a performance, the show will be delayed for 30 minutes and Playhouse staff will alert patrons to remain in their vehicles.

If such winds occur during a performance, patrons will be asked to return to their vehicles and wait 30 minutes.

If winds subside, staff will invite patrons back into the Pavilion.
