Henry J. Leir Stage

The Henry J. Leir is an uncovered, outdoor theater space. Seating is on wooden benches with simple seatbacks, with the option to bring or purchase a seat cushion. Beloved by Pillow fans for decades, it has housed the free Inside/Out Performance Series in previous seasons.

In the event of inclement weather, outdoor Henry J. Leir performances will be moved inside the Perles Family Studio or canceled and all ticket buyers will be eligible to receive a refund or donate the cost of their tickets.

Ted Shawn Theatre

Built in 1942 as the first theater in America designed specifically for dance, the Ted Shawn Theatre is the heart of the Pillow campus. After several years of renovation, the Ted Shawn Theatre reopened for Festival 2022! Read frequently asked questions about the Ted Shawn Theatre here. Learn more about the renovation process.

Some seating may be partially obstructed due to staging, lighting, special effects, musical accompaniment, or other adjustments to the theatre and/or the work being presented. In most cases, the Box Office will be made aware and this information will be presented to the patron prior to sale.
