When ordering tickets, please indicate that you or members of your party will be using this service so that we may ensure optimal seating locations for viewing of both the screen and the stage.


Artistic Director: In Conversation

Join Charles McMahon, Artistic Director, and KC MacMillan, Associate Artistic Director, for conversations about what – and who – makes the Lantern distinctive.
FREE for all ticket holders
