If it appears that a weather-related cancellation is necessary, we will make an announcement and advise you to move to your vehicle. For the safety of all, please exit in a controlled manner.
If the show is cancelled before Jesus is sentenced by Pilate, we will contact you within 24 hours with the following options:
- Request tickets for another performance during the current season or
- Request tickets for a performance next season or
- Donate the cost of your tickets for a tax receipt.
If you choose to leave when the show is paused and the show does resume, you will not receive tickets for another performance.
