All shows are presented at 9:30am and 12:00pm, unless otherwise noted. Performances will begin as close to these times as possible. Large groups should make every effort to arrive within the half hour prior to show times to allow ample time for seating.

Running time for all shows is approximately one hour. Please allow extra time for dismissal; street access is limited and groups will be called as their buses are ready for departure.

Lunches may be enjoyed at The Grand only. Space is limited and reservations are required. Groups may bring bagged lunches and eat “picnic-style” in one of our spaces before or after the show. Please inquire about availability when reserving your tickets.

Lunch spaces are not available at The Playhouse, but groups may use the public space at Rodney Square (weather permitting).
