Wooden O Outdoor Performances: Preparing to see the show

All Wooden O productions are free and open to the public. You will not need reservations or tickets but we do recommend arriving at least 20 minutes before the start of the show to secure a good spot on the lawn.

We recommend bringing a blanket or a chair. If you do bring a chair, we ask that you sit towards the back of the audience area so as not to block the view of those sitting on the ground. You are more than welcome to bring food to the venue, but we do ask that you pack out everything that you brought to the park.

Summer weather in the Northwest can be unpredictable, but we believe the show must go on. Please be prepared whether it means sun block and drinking water or jackets, blankets, raingear and umbrellas. If an audience is willing to sit in the rain, the show will go on. If the rain develops into thunder and lightning, we will cancel the show.

Sometimes the weather is just too miserable and no one, audience or performers, wants to stick it out. Fortunately, some of our host cities provide a back-up indoor site. In those cases we'll move the sets and props indoors and do our best in the new surroundings. The sad news for those locations without a back-up site means we may have to cancel the show there in really bad weather. On the upside, we're most likely to be there again or in a nearby city very shortly after. Check our schedule to see when we’ll be near you again if you do happen to come on a rain-out.

We try to schedule our season during the driest time of the year in the Northwest. Your chances are pretty good for enjoying a Wooden O show as it was meant to be seen: outside under sunny skies.
