Directions
Before The Show
Stop by one of our lobby bars or Starbucks in the Schuster Center Wintergarden before your performance! Our Broadway Series performances offer preshow events like Background On Broadway, and some performances have VIP options. Check the show’s listing on this website for specific preshow information.
Performance Bars
At most performances, we provide a full bar including beer, wine, liquor, soft drinks, and water. Grab your favorite snack and enjoy your show. Some productions will have specialty drinks and Laura’s Cookies! Our Performance Bars open when the lobby opens and close after intermission. If the performance does not have an intermission, the Performance Bar will close 15 minutes after the show starts.
After The Show
Your night doesn’t have to end after the final curtain — there are several downtown options for music and drinks following a performance. Visit the Downtown Dayton Partnership’s website for more information.
