Princeton Summer Theater: Visitor FAQ
PHONE
Are you aware your phone hasn’t been working?
Yes. We’ve been having issues with our old telephone number and have just set up a new one, (609) 359-2309. The new number should be up and working but if you are having trouble reaching us, send us an email with your phone number and we will call you back as soon as we can.
visiting
Where is the theater located?
The Hamilton Murray Theater (home to both PST & the student group Theatre Intime) is located in Murray-Dodge Hall, on Princeton University's campus in Princeton, NJ.
In less specific terms, we're located on campus between the University Chapel and the currently under-construction Art Museum.
Where can I park?
We generally recommend University Lot 10, which is free and open on weekends and after 5 PM on weekdays. To navigate to Lot 10, simply plug in 40 William St, Princeton NJ to other mapping applications.
Other options include the metered parking on Nassau, William, and Prospect, or the municipal lot on Spring Street.
Is handicap parking available?
There are dedicated handicap accessible spots in University Lot 10; for patrons with difficulty walking who wish to park near the theater, you can call University Parking at 609-258-3157 at least 24 hours in advance of your visit to ensure that you will be permitted to enter campus and park on Chapel Drive.
All Chapel Drive parking decisions are at the discretion of University Parking and Public Safety (we at the theater have no power of appeal in that area, nor can we assist in securing Chapel Drive parking).
I'm looking for a hotel in Princeton. any recommendations?
Yes! The Nassau Inn is our hotel of choice, being located within walking distance of the theater in Palmer Square. We recommend them heartily.
What else can I see in Princeton while I'm in town for a show?
The Princeton University Art Museum is world class, and also happens to be our next door neighbor, so why not come enjoy a full day of culture in this part of campus? Though its main building is currently closed for construction, you can see exhibits at its Nassau Street location, Art@Bainbridge or its gallery at 11 Hulfish Street. Otherwise, the Princeton Tour Company offers fabulous themed tours of both town and campus that cater to a number of tastes.

Will Call tickets are held either in the Charrier Room of the Hamilton Murray Theater (by the concessions) or at the box office [location depends on staffing that day], and can be picked up starting thirty minutes before the performance.
