The curtain is only part of the plan. Choose a neighborhood that fits your mood, add dinner or an after-show stop, and enjoy a night that feels easy from start to finish.

Keep the night relaxed with plenty of food, drink, and entertainment options to choose from. Start at Parkville Market, where you can each order exactly what you want, then head to a Theater Week performance nearby.
Slow things down with a date night built around good food, live performance, and time to enjoy the city together. Begin with dinner or drinks, head to your show, then leave room for dessert or a nightcap afterward. It is a simple way to break from the usual routine and have an unforgettable evening.
Plan a neighborhood date night with dinner, drinks, and a performance at the center of the evening.
