The show is BYOB and BYOF (Bring your own food!). Many patrons opt to bring charcuterie spreads, sandwiches, and more. The venue features table seating for you to eat at throughout the performance. Light concessions will be available as well (water, chips, candy). We recommend bringing your own utensils and cups.
