● Evening performances begin at 7:30 PM. Matinees begin at 2:00 PM. Doors may open 30 minutes prior to performance start time. Please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled performance time.
● Latecomers will be seated at the discretion of the management. Many performances have a mandatory seating hold after the show begins, so as to not disrupt the opening number or scene.
● No outside food or drink is permitted. Concessions may be available for purchase 30 minutes prior to curtain & during intermission. NO GUM!
● The Empress Theatre welcomes individuals who are five (5) and older to attend any performance. We advise parents to be aware of the subject matter before bringing children. We do not allow children under the age of 5 or babes in arms in the theatre.

 

Our EYT productions will be exempt from this rule and we may, on occasion, have a special matinee designated for those three (3) and older. Please inquire at the Box Office.
