Our note
Read the age line on each show before you commit, because it changes from production to production and this season opens with one recommended for 16 and over. Seats are reserved, so a class sitting together means buying the block yourself in one transaction. Nothing on their site is set up for a school or a daycare, so start with a phone call to the ticket line.
What the children do
The rest of the season is a run of plays and musicals in the same 172 seat house. Age guidance is set per production and printed on the season page rather than as a house rule: The Birds and the Bees, running 20 September to 10 October 2026, carries 'Adult Themes - Age 16+ Recommended', while The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, 21 February to 13 March 2027, is described as including audience participation. Seats are reserved and bought one at a time through their online box office. No group rate, school rate or block booking is published, and no ticket price appears on their own website.
Sit in a numbered seat in a small 172 seat theatre and watch a live play or musical. Refreshments can be had in the lounge.
Good to know
Free parking in their own lot, a lounge for refreshments and step free access throughout, with infra red hearing units on request. Washrooms, lunch space and bus parking are not mentioned, no ticket price is published on their site, and the age guidance depends on which show you pick.
Sources disagree. Their contact page and their ticket page give two different postcodes for the same street. The one on the contact page belongs to their post office box, not to the building. If you are driving, use 2373 Rosstown Road and V9T 3R6, or a satnav may send you to a post office.
