Pre-Event Planning

Make a night of it by pairing your show with a pre-performance meal in downtown Geneva — several excellent restaurants are just minutes away. Arriving early also lets you appreciate the venue’s late 19th-century architecture, from its brick-and-stone exterior to the ornate interior that sets the stage for an unforgettable evening.

If you’re attending with a group, pick a clear meeting spot near the lobby or outside the main entrance at 82 Seneca Street. This helps everyone enter together and find seats with time to spare, especially on busier performance nights.

For out-of-town visitors, consider building in extra time to explore the Finger Lakes area — from scenic walks to nearby cultural attractions — before or after the show.
