4. Starting 2 hours before Signature Series Shows, there will be a ticketholder cocktail hour at Charlene's Theatre Bar until theatre doors open for the show. A 2nd Cocktail Hour will occur after the show. During these 2 hours, Charlene's will offer an EXCLUSIVE menu of craft cocktails. This menu will not be available once theatre doors open, or during the show.

In addition to popcorn, we now offer a variety of Michigan-made concession items, including gummy candy (sour & original), chocolate covered cherries, and nut mixes.

What if I want a full meal before the show?
