* As Philadelphia's professional Jewish theatre, Theatre Ariel knows that some may have questions about our performing on Shabbat. We recognize that our Jewish audience members -- like the Jewish people themselves -- keep Shabbat in many different ways, or choose not to keep it in a traditional sense at all. We welcome all whose practice permits to spend Shabbat at a Theatre Ariel performance. 

Because of Shabbat, we will not do monetary transactions on Friday nights (i.e., selling tickets at the door). In addition, we will have Shabbat-related programming on those nights, as well.
