The Depot Theatre season is about to begin…
Just in time, we’ve put together a short list of insider tips for our patrons!
In no particular order, here at the top 4:
1. $20 Preview Nights sell out fast!
“Preview Night” performances for each main stage production occur on the first Friday (7:30PM) of that production’s run. A Preview Night is a fully rehearsed and staged performance, although some directorial decisions may be changed for future performances, and is offered at a lower price to ensure that theatre is more accessible for everyone. Tickets for Preview Night performances are $20.* Preview Night dates for 2019 are: June 28, July 19, and August 9. More Info
Many thanks to our Preview Night Sponsor: Emmet Carter Green Design!
2. Make it DINNER and a Show!
The Depot Theatre and participating area restaurants have teamed up to offer a great experience – and a terrific way to support professional theatre in the Adirondacks.
These partner restaurants are supporting the Depot in a variety of ways, from donating a percentage of the bill for the meal, to donating gift certificates, to preparing prix fixe meals specifically for Depot patrons, and other valued support!

3. Want to save a couple bucks? Order tickets directly from the box office.
We’re all accustomed to the convenience of purchasing online, and it’s a primary mechanism for Depot Theatre ticket sales, too. However, you can save yourself some money by buying directly from the box office in person or by phone.
Here’s why: A processing fee may be added to tickets purchased online. This fee is charged by a third-party provider, PrintTixUSA, the company that provides the service for the Depot.
If you stop in or call the box office, you will still be charged the $2 facility and education fee, but will avoid the online fees. The Box Office is open from 1:00-4:00 every day EXCEPT Tuesday and on performance days it is open 1:00 to show time.
Stop in or call them at 518.962.4449!
4. Bring a “theatre sweater”
It’s a good idea to bring an extra layer to the Depot, as the air conditioning in the theatre does a great job of mitigating the heat coming from the stage lighting, but can make the air in the audience cool enough to make temperature-sensitive folks a bit chilly. So bring a fleece, sweater, sweatshirt, jacket, blanket or cape to ensure that you aren’t distracted from the talented folks on stage!

See you at the station!
