INTRODUCING OUR NEW COCKTAIL CONCERTS
We are delighted to announce our Summer Cocktail Concert series! After 15 years, we have decided to update our Music on the Grill concerts to an elevated cocktail-hour format. Join us in our lake-side lobby before the show to enjoy music from our fabulous pre-show musicians, and enjoy a complimentary signature cocktail or mocktail before heading into the theatre for the main event. Don’t forget– you can now bring your drinks into the theatre with you!
