The Park
Broadway Under the Stars performances are held within the winery ruins located on the grounds of Jack London State Historic Park (JLSHP). $8 goes to JLSHP with each ticket purchase and by the end of the 2019 season, we will have raised over half a million dollars for the Park.
Arrival
Pre-show picnicking begins two and a half hours before each show at 5pm on the Great Lawn, when Jack London Park closes to the public. Please visit our website for information about nightly pre-show musicians.
Patrons should check in at our on-site box office, which is located just beyond the entrance to the Beauty Ranch in the upper parking lot. You are welcome to arrive at the park any time between 5pm and when the performance begins at 7:30pm.
Please allow 20-30 minutes for parking and either catching a shuttle or walking to the Beauty Ranch. Keep in mind that it takes 5-10 minutes to walk from the box office entrance of the event to the performance site in the Winery Ruins. Moderate hiking may be required from the parking area to the performance space.
The address is:

Seating
For all performances at Jack London State Historic Park a chair is not necessary as seating is provided in the theatre space.
VIP and Premium Seating ticket holders are provided with seat cushions. Guests may bring their own seat cushions to the venue.
Lawn chairs are permitted for pre-show picnicking before performances but they will need to be stored outside of the theatre during the performance as there is limited space for storage inside the theatre. Transcendence staff cannot store personal belongings throughout the show.
Restrooms
Portable restrooms and hand wash areas are onsite in convenient locations available to patrons before, during, and after performances. Wheel-chair accessible portable restrooms are also onsite.
Merchandise
Transcendence items including shirts, sweatshirts, hats, blankets, and more are available for purchase at the park. Credit cards only accepted for our cashless merchandise booth.
What to Wear
The pre-show picnic and performance are entirely outdoors so please come prepared for all types of weather. In the summer, the grounds can be quite hot during the day but cool quickly when the sun sets so we recommend dressing in layers. You may bring an umbrella or a large hat, but the use of umbrellas, parasols, or large hats during the performance, either for protection from the rain or sun, is prohibited. Also, the grounds consist of level-but-uneven lawns, gently rolling hillsides, and gravel paths. Therefore, sturdy and comfortable shoes are recommended. Feel free to bring a blanket or sweatshirt for when the temperatures drop, but know that both are available for purchase at Transcendence merchandise stations.
Smoking
Smoking on park grounds is a fire hazard and is therefore strictly prohibited. This includes all electronic smoking and vapor devices. Smoking is allowed in the upper and lower parking lots at the park only.
Post Event Safety
Although the moon generously lights the park at night, there is limited lighting at the venue after dark. We will be lighting your exit path to ensure that the walk to your car is easy and safe, but we suggest bringing flashlights. If you parked at Benziger, please wait for the shuttle for your own safety.
Open flames are strictly prohibited.
First Aid
We have medical support available in the first aid tent at every performance. If you think you are having a medical emergency, please contact any staff on site and they will direct you.
Photography
During the pre-show picnic, and before the performance begins, feel free to take as many pictures are you would like. Please share with the hashtag #BestNightEver. During the performance, all photography, video, or sound recording is strictly prohibited. Offenders may be asked to leave and may be liable for copyright damages.
House Management
During the performance in the ruins, please do not touch the walls.
