HEAR SECRETS FROM BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE FIRST GAME SHOW FOR KIDS, FROM THE FOLKS WHO MADE IT HAPPEN!

ON YOUR MARK... Billed as the first game show for kids, and growing into a worldwide phenomenon that put Nickelodeon on the map, DOUBLE DARE taped its first episodes in 1986 at the studios of WHYY-TV in Philadelphia.
Forty years later, the original cast and crew will return to the show's hometown city to take the stage one last time, dishing out the "Inside Slop" on how TV's messiest game show was made!
And even though the show's sold out, you still have a chance to watch as Marc Summers & Friends divulge everything from the secret slime recipe to tales of behind-the-scenes shenanigans on the set and on tour!

WATCH AS FANS LIVE THEIR DREAMS OF TAKING THE PHYSICAL CHALLENGE!

GET SET... because Marc (and other surprise guests) will pull volunteers from the audience to help demonstrate some super sloppy physical challenges and win "fabulous prizes!"
Will our players end up with pies in their pants?
Egg on their face?
Or even a head-to-toe coating in green slime??
Be there (virtually or in-person) to find out!

I'M GONNA ASK A QUESTION,
AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER...

TAP EACH FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION FOR MORE DETAILS!

I missed my chance for tickets! What's the deal with this video thing?

We will be professionally recording the event, and have partnered with Eventive to provide a limited-time screening of the video! You can preorder starting today, and will get an email alert when the video becomes available on Saturday, October 31. You will then have until the end of the year to watch the video!
NOTE: Once you begin watching the video for the first time, you will be granted a one-week window to finish watching or re-watch anything you missed. You may contact Eventive if you need any technical assistance with the video streaming service or ticketing system.

Will the video include the entire live show?

We plan to include as much of the live performance as possible! Any edits will be in the interest of polishing the production for home viewing, or due to unforeseen technical or licensing issues.

Why so much money for a video rental?

Think of it more like an on-demand pay-per-view special, some of which sell for more than double what we're charging, and don't give you two months to watch them! Your $25 will help cover our production costs, and you'll get to see almost the same show as our live audience, from the comfort of your own home!

Will you be playing a full game of DOUBLE DARE?

While we won't have trivia or an obstacle course, we have selected a few fan-favorite physical challenges to play throughout the evening! The rest of the show will feature hilarious stories from the set, and answers to audience questions!

How can audience members 'take the physical challenge'?!

Marc & friends will periodically search the audience for people volunteering to come on stage; no prior signup is required. Everyone in the audience has an equal chance of being selected; regardless of ticket tier or VIP status. The more enthusiastic they are, the better! We only ask that volunteers stay at their seats until chosen; they may not crowd the aisles, or try to touch our cast or crew members. We cannot select anyone who appears to be visibly intoxicated, or otherwise unable to safely participate in the show. Audience members should see the  Dress Code section below if they want to be part of the show!

Harvey! What will they win?!

Physical challenge participants may be awarded "prizes" reminiscent of those given away on DOUBLE DARE. These are essentially gag gifts that hold no real value. We're just here to have fun!

How will the Q&A work?

A QR code will be posted throughout the venue before the show, for guests to submit questions for the cast & crew. Our producers will then choose the best questions to be answered live on stage!

How long is the show?

At this time, the main program is expected to run approximately 90-120 minutes, with no plans for an intermission. In the weeks following, we will upload a recap video (now available for preorder!), which will include most of the live on-stage performance. 

What time can ticketholders arrive?

Select areas of City Winery Philadelphia will open to the public as early as 10am!
Stage Premier ticketholders & VIP guests will be admitted into the Concert Venue beginning at 4:30pm for an exclusive meet & greet soiree.
All other ticketholders are welcome to join us in the Concert Venue when doors open at around 6pm.
"Marc Summers & Friends" showtime is planned for 7:30!

Is there an age limit?

21+ ... It's at a winery!

What's the Dress Code?

Very casual! Stage Premier ticketholders, or those who plan on volunteering to take the physical challenge, should wear clothes that you don't mind getting messy. For onstage participants, we strongly recommend comfortable, closed-toed shoes! Please note that we can't provide coverings or replacement wardrobe, and while guests are welcome to bring a change of clothes, changing space will be limited.

Can I take pictures or record the show?

Photos & video are welcome throughout the VIP preshow event! Recording will not be permitted during the live show. Guests may take photos from their seats if they disable their flashes and do not interfere with the experiences of those around them. Professional camera equipment is not permitted except by event-authorized personnel.

Will Marc sign my scale replica of the 1-Ton Human Hamster Wheel?

Our preshow VIP guests will be provided with a program that includes plenty of space for autographs, which can be requested during the meet & greet soiree before the show. In the interest of time and safety, we politely ask that guests please not bring items from home to be autographed.

Where's the stage door? I wanna meet the cast!

For your safety and ours, and due to time & space limits, only cast & crew will be admitted backstage, and we aren't able to accommodate any post-show meet & greets. Stage Premier ticketholders and VIP guests should follow City Winery's attendance guidance for the preshow meet & greet event.
