​

When can I get in and what time does the show start? 

Gates open each performance date at 5:30 pm. The show starts at 8 pm and runs until approximately 10:15pm. Guests are welcome to arrive early, find a good spot to watch the show and enjoy dinner. Food is allowed and concessions are available. New in 2024 - Theme Nights with activities for all ages during the pre-show hours!

​​

Where do I enter the park and what's the deal with parking?

The Pinewood Bowl Amphitheater is located inside of Pioneers Park at 3201 S. Coddington Ave. in Lincoln, NE with entrances to the park off West Van Dorn and South Coddington Streets.

All incoming traffic will be re-routed to the West Van Dorn Street entrance on the evenings of our show.​

Pinewood Performing Arts does not charge for parking. There is no overnight parking or camping allowed in the park.

Park Personnel will direct all cars where to park. If you need ADA compliant parking, please let the attendant know and they will direct you.

​

Is Pinewood Bowl accessible?​

A parking attendant can direct you to ADA compliant parking. Inside the Bowl, a marked handicap accessible walkway winds behind the merch tower, connecting top of bowl to house at a less severe angle.

​

What is the refund policy?

Although the ticketing program requires you to choose a specific date, the tickets are good for any night of the production! There are no refunds for inclement weather. ALL SALES ARE FINAL.​

​

How do I get Pay What You Can tickets?

Simply come to the Pinewood Bowl box office on Sunday, July 13 and request tickets. The box office volunteer will ask you what you'd like to pay. It can be any amount from $0 on up. Once you've done that, you'll be given the tickets and you can go in and figure out where you'd like to sit. No questions asked.

​

Will there be food trucks?

Yes, Valentino’s, Waffleman, Tom's Coffee and Kona Ice will be onsite. There are also concessions available from the Lincoln Optimist Club, including popcorn, candy bars, malts, water, pop, and more. Be sure to bring cash, as several vendors are "Cash Only."

​

Can I bring my own food and drinks?

Yes! Pinewood Performing Arts is proud to be Lincoln's bring-your-own-dinner theater! Alcohol is not allowed in the park or amphitheater at any time during our production.

Are personal water bottles allowed?

Absolutely. We want our audience members to stay well-hydrated on warm summer nights.

​

Can I bring my own lawn chair or blanket?

Although there are many benches set up for audience members, you are also welcome to bring your own chair or blanket. We have sections down dedicated to chairs and blankets and those are filled on a first-come, first-staked-out basis. Or you can set up a viewing spot on any of the grassy areas around/behind the benches.​

​

Does my purse have to be clear?

No, you can bring whatever kind of purse or bag you like!
