ARRIVE EARLY & STAY LATE!
Make the most of your theater experience in the new Hanna Theatre!

Did you know that the Hanna Theatre, and its bar and lounge, is open ninety minutes before and after each Great Lakes Theater Festival performance? We invite you to join us and extend your visit. From start to finish, the Hanna experience is unlike any other in our region.

BEFORE THE SHOW: CATCH A GLIMPSE
Arrive early, grab a drink and watch our artistic company prepare for the performance. Elements traditionally hidden from audiences such as stage combat rehearsals, dance calls, prop/scenic pre-sets, technical cue rehearsals and actor warm-ups are conducted in full view – offering audiences an extraordinary glimpse into the theatrical process.

AFTER THE SHOW: MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME
Our house is your house. Make yourself at home. Stay after the show to mingle with friends, visit with family or discuss the performance with other audience members. The lounge is open ninety minutes after each performance. Don’t forget to stick around and meet our cast and crew in the lounge at Night Cap Night, following every Saturday evening performance.

ALWAYS: EAT, DRINK & BE MERRY
Enjoy your eats from the comfort of your seats. Sample the new Savory and Sweet Snack Boxes created by the award-winning Marigold Catering. These culinary delights are available for purchase in the Hanna Theatre lobby. For a complete menu, check out the Your Visit page.
