Patron Services
Page content:
Canberra Theatre Centre wants your visit to be as enjoyable as possible. In order to facilitate a great night at the theatre, the following patron services are provided:
Eat & Drink
For a pre-show drink, look no further than The Link Bar. Located centrally between the Canberra Theatre and Playhouse auditoriums, The Link Bar serves a sensational selection of quality beverages and light refreshments. The Link Bar is open prior to and during every performance taking place in the Canberra Theatre or Playhouse venues.
On busy nights when both venues are in use the bar can at times get a little crowded. In most cases only plastic cups of drinks (alcohol and non-alcohol) and food purchased from The Link bar are permitted inside the auditorium.
Read more on our Eat & Drink page.
Cloaking
Complimentary cloaking service is back! This service will be available an hour prior to each performance and patrons are encouraged to cloak items such as bulky coats, umbrellas, and large bags.
Admission
Theatre doors generally open approximately 20 minutes prior to the scheduled start of the performance. Late arrivals will be seated at the discretion of the presenting company’s stage management, so as not to disturb the audience and performers. Please be aware that some shows may have long lock-outs for late-comers (such as not until interval) and in rare cases you may be locked out of the entire performance. There are no refunds given for late-comers who may miss a performance.
Smoking
Smoking is prohibited in all venues of Canberra Theatre Centre.
