The theatre opens 90 minutes prior to each performance; seating begins approximately 30 minutes prior to the start of the performance. We recommend arriving at least 15 minutes prior to the performance, especially if your tickets are at Will Call. Late seating is at the discretion of the House Managers, and patrons may have to wait several minutes before being admitted for an appropriate break in the action. Patrons who arrive late may be sat in different locations from their original seats and may return to the original seats after intermission.

The Box Office will be happy to resend your electronic tickets or print your tickets for a small fee. Please call us in advance or arrive at least 15 minutes before the performance.

Signature charges a $7 ticketing fee per ticket for single tickets to mainstage performances and a $5 ticketing fee per ticket for cabaret performances purchased online or by phone. No fee is charged for a single ticket purchased in person at the Box Office.

There is no official dress code for attending Signature Theatre. Our patrons usually dress in business casual attire for non-Opening Night performances and in formal business attire for Openings. However, we’d rather have a patron come in jeans and a sweatshirt than not come at all out of concern for how they are dressed.

Please be aware that on occasion the theatres can be slightly chilly, or sometimes a bit warm. Dressing in layers and bringing a sweater or pashmina is advisable.

In general, Signature’s performances are intended for adult audiences. Parents can use their best judgement when deciding to bring teens or younger children, we encourage you to read more about our performances here on the website or call our Box Office at 703.820.9771 to inquire if any performances have content that might be objectionable to those under 18.

Unless the performance is specifically for children, no one under 6 will be admitted.

No pictures or video are allowed while the actors are on stage. You will be asked to delete any photos or videos captured during performances. However, you may take pictures or videos inside the theatre before the show, at intermission, or after the show.

Some of Signature’s shows contain content that some patrons might not enjoy. Signature does our best to put this information on our website in advance so that patrons can have it while making purchase decisions. Occasionally, some of these features will be added while the show is in rehearsal, and we might not know until a few days before performances begin.

We place notices about all of these items:

• On the shows and events pages of the website (updated regularly).
• In the pre-show email reminders.
• On the house board just outside the theatre doors.

Please call the Box Office at 703.820.9771 should you have any questions about the content of a particular performance.
