Weather Policy

In the event that rain or extreme weather interferes with performance proceedings, the show may be paused or cancelled in order to ensure the health and safety of the audience and company members.

If the weather forecast predicts rain or inclement weather on the date of a performance you have booked tickets for, please make sure to monitor your inboxes and social media as a decision will be made close to the show start time as to whether or not the performance will proceed. If you do not see any rain or inclement weather notice from GFT, please attend the show as usual.

In case of inclement weather during a performance (including, but not limited to rain or extreme heat), Stage Management will announce that the show will be paused or, in extreme cases, cancelled. Our team will be keeping track of any oncoming storms and will do our very best to anticipate these situations in advance in order to avoid mid-show cancellations.

Unfortunately, there will be no refunds issued in the case of cancellation. In the event that a performance is cancelled or compromised due to inclement weather or any other unforeseeable circumstance, we will offer ticket holders the opportunity to rebook for another performance.
