Frequently Asked Questions

How much are tickets?

Ticket prices are $10 for general admission for our children's performances ($8 for PST members). Puppets at Night ticket prices vary, with a discounted price offered to PST members, students, and low income persons.

My child is under two, do I have to pay for them? Do you have shows that are recommended for children under 3?

Tickets are required for everyone 12 months and older.  Our performances are not designed for children age 0-2 years. Parents may bring their toddlers, yet are encouraged to take as many breaks into our lobby as they need during the course of the performance.

Do I need to make a reservation? Can I do that online?

We always recommended reservations. Our intimate theatre seats 100 and we can never predict when we will sell out. To make a reservation, call the box office at (617) 731-6400 or click the "Buy Tickets" link on any page.

How long are your performances?

In general, most of our family performances run about 45 minutes to an hour and vary in content.

During the December, February, and April School Vacation Weeks we offer two shows each day at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. In the summer our show times are Wednesday and Thursday at 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. See show descriptions for age recommendations.
