What to expect
Regional theatres in Philadelphia programme their own seasons of new writing and classic plays, while touring productions bring recent hits for a limited run. Preview performances come before the official opening and let a production settle in front of an audience.
Matinees are popular with school groups and anyone who prefers a daytime outing, while evening performances suit dinner-and-a-show plans. Because a play relies on spoken dialogue, seats where you can hear the actors clearly matter more than a wide view of the set.

Running time depends on the script. Some plays run straight through without a break, while longer dramas include one or two intermissions. Check the event page for the details before you go.
