These food selections may vary by performance. Food and beverages are not permitted inside the theater with the exception of bottled water and beverages contained in Hylton Center tumbler cups. (American Roots Series performances are the only exception to this rule, where both food and beverages may be taken to your seat inside the theater.)
For Hylton Presents and Hylton Family Series performances, concessions are available for purchase before the performance and, when applicable, at intermission.
For American Roots Series performances, concessions are available for purchase before and during the performance and can be taken into the theater and enjoyed at your seat (applies to American Roots Series performances only).
For Matinee Idylls performances, a pre-performance sit-down lunch package can be purchased for an additional fee in advance and up until the Friday before the performance. A coffee and dessert reception follows each Matinee Idylls performance and is included in the performance ticket price. Lunch and dessert take place in the Ballard-Postma Studio. Matinee Idylls performances take place in the Jacquemin Family Foundation Hall.
