Each night, audience members can view the performance from their own vehicle or at a reserved and socially distanced picnic table. All tickets secure a demarcated space, which can accommodate up to five adults. Drinks and snacks are available to purchase, and food trucks offer additional options.

Radial Park is executive-produced by Jeremy Shepard, leading a team that includes artistic producer Dale Badway, associate producer Vanjah Boikai, and musical director Emily Marshall.
