Tickets

All audience members are required to have tickets. You can purchase tickets online through the Imperial Theatre website, in person at the Imperial Theatre Box office or by phone (519) 344-7469

Note:

  • Photography and/or videography is not permitted. (We invite parents to take pictures and video during the dress rehearsal or purchase a professionally recorded version. 
  • We strongly encourage audience members to remain seated for the entire show, anyone leaving the auditorium will not be readmitted until an appropriate time in the show. This is for the comfort and enjoyment of the entire audience. It is also distracting to the performers to see people getting up while they are on stage. 
  • The Imperial Theatre Ushers will be enforcing both of these rules.

Videos

The shows are being filmed with the Imperial Theatre’s new broadcast system and cameras. This will provide quality recordings with multiple camera angles. Each show will be available to purchase at $15 each through the Imperial Theatre website. Click this link to purchase show videos. You will have until June 28th at 11:59 pm to make a purchase.

Flowers

We will be selling flowers before and during intermission for the Friday and Saturday evening shows. We will be selling flowers before the primary shoes.

 

Volunteers

We are always in need of backstage help, especially for the Friday and Saturday evening shows. Volunteers are assigned to a dressing room to keep watch over the performers, help with costume changes and escort dancers to the stage. If you can help sign up through the parent portal under events!
