Tips & Advice
- Leave children under 5 at home, because this ghost story has loud sounds, theatrical haze and strobe lights that may be too scary for little ones.
- Pull up your mobile ticket on your phone, since the QR code shows up three days before the show and screenshots or printouts aren't accepted.
- Park free by buying something at Playwright's Pub, a block from the Wyly, and getting your One Arts Plaza garage ticket validated.
- Leave extra time to get in, because the Wyly screens every patron with walk-through metal detectors and may inspect bags, purses and blankets.
- If your performance sells out, go to the box office in person for standby tickets, which seat you in unfilled seats before the show starts.
