Benedum Center Marquee Construction

Please note that scaffolding is currently in place at the Benedum Center’s entrance as restoration work takes place on the theater’s main marquee. It will take more time to enter and exit the theater. We advise to allow for an extra 15 to 20 minutes to arrive and depart.

At this time, passenger vehicle curbside drop-offs are permitted in front of the theater before a show. Post-show passenger vehicle curbside pick-ups are not permitted because of space constraints as theatergoers leave the building. Post-show curbside pick-ups should take place on Penn Avenue, in front of Agnes R. Katz Plaza. Curbside pick-ups for visitors with limited mobility or accessibility needs should take place in front of the Guest Services entrance (pictured below).

Visitors with limited mobility or accessibility needs should plan to be dropped off and picked up in front of the Guest Services entrance, located to the right of the Benedum Center Box Office (pictured below). Those visitors can then enter the theater through the Guest Services doors.
