Introducing Drury Lane PLUS

Rick MacKenzie • October 11, 2023

The theater scene is about to get a new, exciting addition, and it comes from right here at Drury Lane Theatre. We're introducing "Drury Lane PLUS," a special initiative that promises to add a unique dimension to your theatre-going experience.


Located in the vibrant city of Burlington Ontario, Drury Lane has built a solid reputation for delivering exceptional theatrical performances. Now, we're taking a step beyond by launching Drury Lane PLUS.


Unveiling Drury Lane PLUS


Drury Lane PLUS isn't your typical theater event; it's a series of special fundraising experiences aimed at enriching the theater's regular schedule. PLUS events are special fundraising events! We will be starting with Tartan Terrors in January followed by acts in June and September. This will be a permanent part of the Drury Lane offering each year outside of our normal 4 production season! Tartan Terrors is on sale now.


Tartan Terrors: A Grand Opening


Kicking off the Drury Lane PLUS series is Tartan Terrors, scheduled for January.  Tartan Terrors bring their Celtic Invasion to Drury Lane Theatrical Productions in January 2024 blending the energy of a rock show with humour and stepdance.


What to Expect from Drury Lane PLUS


Drury Lane PLUS promises a diverse range of experiences that go beyond the traditional theater fare. These special fundraising events will offer various performances that aim to entertain and engage the audience in unique ways, from music and dance to comedy and more.


A Permanent Addition to the Drury Lane Calendar


One exciting aspect of Drury Lane PLUS is that it's here to stay. These special events will become a permanent part of the Drury Lane calendar, providing more opportunities for audiences to engage with the arts throughout the year.


Get Your Tickets Today


Tickets for the first Drury Lane PLUS event, Tartan Terrors, are available now. Don't miss the opportunity to be part of this new initiative. Secure your seats for a special theater experience and be among the first to enjoy Drury Lane PLUS.


As a theater enthusiast, Drury Lane PLUS is an exciting addition that promises to offer fresh experiences throughout the year. Stay updated for more announcements as Drury Lane reveals the full lineup for Drury Lane PLUS in June and September.
