New This Year

 

New this year! Your ticket to a Players Club of Swarthmore (or PCS) main stage production has a seat row and number. You can choose where you sit when you purchase your ticket, and you can do that by clicking in the next section, by visiting the box office, or by calling 610-328-4271. Click here for current hours of availability.

 
SUBSCRIBERS can order tickets for any show at any time of the year. Sale of main stage tickets to non-subscribers begins July 15.
 
All seats offer excellent views of the stage and outstanding acoustics. There are four wheelchair spaces, identified on the seating chart with a handicapped logo; these can be reserved just like regular seats. If you are accompanying a person in a wheelchair, choose the seat next to the wheelchair space.
 
Doors open to the lobby (and box office) one hour before curtain time. Doors to the house open 30 minutes before curtain.
 
Tickets are usually available up until curtain time for most performances. Advance purchases may be available up to two hours prior to a performance. For our most popular shows (usually musicals), we occasionally sell out performances, so please order your tickets early to ensure that you will get a seat before coming to the theater.
 
We will hold your seat, but we will not hold the curtain, so please plan on arriving before curtain time on show night. It is up to the discretion of the House Manager to seat you after the performance begins.
 


Ticket Voucher Packages

 
PCS Ticket Voucher Packages offer you a substantial discount (up to 52% on musicals), but there are other benefits as well.
 
PCS Ticket Vouchers are totally flexible. You can use as many of your vouchers as you like for any given show during the season. If you must skip a show,

• You can bring a guest to the next one, or you can blow the whole package on one production.
• There is no convenience charge for reservations paid for with a voucher.
• Tickets paid for with a voucher can be exchanged up to the date of the show originally reserved.

 

Voucher Options Before 8/15 After 8/15
7 tickets $99 $113
14 tickets $185 $199
Student 7* $70 $70

* (under 18 yrs. or card-carrying student)
 
MEMBERSHIP in the Players Club of Swarthmore is separate from ticket vouchers. You can add one or more memberships to your voucher, or you can become a member without subscribing. Members get a 20% discount on Main Stage tickets. If you become a member before October 1, you have voting rights when we elect members of our Board of Governors in March. Because voting is by email, we need an email address for each member.
 
We welcome donations at any time. Ticket sales do NOT cover the expenses of our beautiful building and our ambitious productions.

Redeeming Your Voucher

 

As soon as you have purchased your subscription, you can use it immediately to purchase tickets to individual shows. You can redeem your voucher online, or by phone, or at the Box Office. It’s not necessary to present the paper voucher that will be mailed to you. Your subscription is on our computer system; Box Office volunteers can look you up using your name. You can reach the Box Office by phone at 610-328-4271. Click here for current hours of availability. Or you can redeem your voucher in person at the Box Office, with or without the paper voucher.

(We also have four additional wheelchair spaces available.) Group rates vary for straight plays and musicals. Group reservations require a minimum of 15 people. Please book your group reservation arrangements at least a month before the show desired. To arrange a group reservation, call 610-328-4271 then push the Group Sales number indicated on our menu. We will return your call, answering all your questions and your group will be on their way for a special visit to the theater. You can also arrange a group reservation by emailing our Group Sales Coordinator.

Accessibility

 
Our Main Stage auditorium is wheelchair accessible, but our Raymond W. Smith Second Stage Theater is not, and could be difficult for anyone who has trouble with stairs. Individuals with disabilities are strongly encouraged to call the theater at 610-328-4271 for details about our facilities. Anyone needing to be seated early in our auditorium should arrive at least a half hour before the performance and contact our House Manager in the main lobby for assistance. For those who would like assistive listening devices, they can be obtained from the box office at no charge prior to all of our mainstage shows. These radio devices allow you to hear everything perfectly, even from the back of the house!
 
We have a fully ADA-compliant restroom, with plenty of room to turn a motorized wheelchair around and automated controls on just about everything in the restroom. The seats in our auditorium are cushioned, wide, and comfortable. There are four wheelchair spaces (two in front and two in the rear of the auditorium), as well as several easy access seats with flip-up arms. Wheelchair spaces can be reserved in advance just like regular seats. If you are accompanying a person in a wheelchair, choose the seat next to the wheelchair space.
