Thanks to your feedback, we’ve made several enhancements to improve your experience. Due to high demand, we are now offering a Saturday matinee during each production run. For our loyal patrons who travel south for the winter, we’re introducing a new two-production “Snowbird Package.” Choose any two of our three incredible shows—or, of course, continue to enjoy the full season with a traditional subscription. Our Senior Discount continues to be available for the opening Friday and Saturday performances. It's a great way to save while being among the first to see each of our stellar productions! Looking ahead, we’re excited to announce a major capital campaign to improve and modernize our beloved theatre. Planned upgrades include a refreshed building façade, renovated lobby and washrooms, improved acoustics, and a redesigned green room for rentals. Our performers will also benefit from newly updated dressing rooms and backstage facilities. We invite you to participate in this exciting transformation. By adding a donation of $10 or more to your subscription order, you’ll help bring these plans to life and receive a charitable tax receipt for your contribution.
