All sales are final. There are no refunds; however, exchanges may be made in limited circumstances.
There is a parking lot behind the Marietta Center for the Arts (MCA), Susquheanna Stage’s home at 133 West Market Street, Marietta, PA 17547. The parking lot is specifically for patrons of Susquehanna Stage and other events at the MCA. Access to the parking lot is off of Hazel Street between Church Avenue and North Gay Street. You will see signs for theatre parking. If the parking lot is full, there is street parking available. Please allow yourself enough time to find a parking spot before the show begins. Please be aware that the area around our parking lot is a residential area. The parking spaces are private property. We are not responsible for the actions of residents concerning cars parked on their property.
The theater is open to the public one hour prior to each performance; we begin to seat people 30 minutes before the performance time. Patrons who arrive after the performance has begun will be asked to wait until they can be seated at an appropriate moment in order to minimize the disruption to the audience and the performers. Seating is not guaranteed after curtain time. Please make every effort to arrive on time.
We ask that patrons please turn off all electronic items during the performance. Cell phones are disruptive to the production and your fellow audience members.
We offer a Concession Stand that serves beer, wine, specialty drinks, sodas, snacks, and water, before the show and at intermission. All proceeds benefit Susquehanna Stage & The Marietta Center for the Arts. Refreshments are allowed in the theatre, but we ask that you remember to open water bottles or snacks quietly when the performance has begun.
In general, the show must go on! However, if it is necessary to cancel a performance, the information will be posted on the Susquehanna Stage’s webpage and Facebook page and broadcast on local media outlets. Upon request, tickets for a canceled event can be exchanged for a later date or refunded upon request.
The Marietta Center for the Arts and Susquehanna Stage strictly prohibits smoking of any kind inside the building. Please step outside and down the steps if you wish to smoke during your visit to the theater.
Our building is not currently handicapped accessible due to the age of the building. If you need special provisions, please contact the box office at least 24 hours before performance time so we can strive to accommodate your needs. It is important to request wheelchair seating when purchasing tickets, and wheelchair-accessible seats are limited at each performance.
No. It is necessary to use a flight of steps to enter the building. If you are entering from the front of the building, there are approximately 4 steps to climb; if entering from the parking lot behind the MCA there is a flight of stairs to climb. If you need assistance, please let us know and we will make any possible accommodations to assist you.
We have restroom facilities on both the ground and main floors of the building. Restrooms on the ground floor are for cast and crew members and there are also restrooms available in the Gallery on the main floor.
If you have lost personal items during a visit to the Marietta Center for the Arts, please email the Administrative Director, Beth Gable: bgable@susquehannastageco.com
Each person entering the theater, regardless of age, must have a ticket. We leave decisions regarding age appropriateness up to individual parents. We encourage parents of young children to consider our Children’s Workshop Production. If you feel your child will be entertained and engaged for the full length of the performance without distracting other audience members, we welcome his or her attendance. For more information on any given show, please call the Box Office at 717-426-1277.
