Shakespeare in the Park Returning This Summer!!! — Page 2

Reading more into it, it sounds like that directive is from the unions:

"however, all patrons over the age of two must wear an approved mask to enter the theater in accordance with theatrical union requirements"

That being said, even though I'm vaccinated, I still wear a mask out in public. Bonus is to avoid some of the unpleasant smells of the city. LOL.

I downloaded the Goldstar app, but I can’t find Merry Wives of Windsor. I would like to enter tomorrow. What am I doing wrong?

Look under "Merry Wives" and a giant banner about the lottery should appear. At least it did for me.

Wick3 said: "Are there separate lotteries for the 2 seating sections (social distanced/not social distanced) or do they give you the option where you wish to sit after you win the lottery?

I believe you there's different lotteries for each section so you have to select before knowing if you won or not.

I used the Goldstar app this morning to enter every lottery I was eligible for (the ones that aren't wheelchair accessible) and I won 2 tix in the vaccinated full capacity section for next weekend!

So excited! Now am thinking whether I should read the play beforehand or just go and enjoy the evening! Am so excited for next week!"

Congratulations! I also won for next Thursday!

It’s 12 midnight to 12 noon to enter. You will get notification the same day.


I’m seeing the show July 10! Very excited. It will be my first show back. I didn’t win, but a friend did, and I’m her plus one!

I understand why they are doing advance tickets this year, but it is inconvenient for an outdoor event.

I won tickets for a performance later this week and it's looking like it will rain that evening. I have no intention of going in the rain so I am hoping the weather forecast changes, but if not I will be a no show.

Does anyone know if we are allowed to enter and win again if we don't use a previous pair of tickets?

Does anyone know if you can enter for the physically distanced AND full capacity lottos for the same performance? I want to up my chances of winning (no luck so far!) but don't want to get myself knocked out of contention if that gets you blocked.



Hope that, rain or shine, they're able to do the full show for an audience tonight and that whoever goes has a wonderful time! I'm tempted to try the standby line tonight, but...it's awfully hot to go stand outside only to potentially not get in!
