Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812

Interested in Stage Seating? Here’s what you need to know.

Choosing stage seating means you're not just watching the story — you might become part of it. To help everything run smoothly (and keep the magic alive), there are a few important things to keep in mind:

• Stair access only. The stage seating is accessible only by stairs on stage left and stage right.
• Arrive early. Aim to be at the theatre at least 20 minutes before showtime. Latecomers will be relocated to alternate seats.
• Dress the part. Dark clothing is recommended — it helps you blend into the world of the play and keeps distractions to a minimum.
• Pack light. You may bring one small bag on stage. Anything extra will need to be left at coat check. 
• No snacks or drinks. Concession purchased bottled water will be permitted on stage but to preserve the stage environment, no food will be allowed in this section.
• Stay seated. During the performance, we ask that you remain in your seat unless directed otherwise.
• Your view. Your view may be partially obstructed during certain scenes, as you will be right in the action of the actors and musicians.
• Ushers. There will be two ushers on stage to assist you throughout the performance; one on stage right and the other on stage left. If you need assistance during the performance please signal to one.
• Interaction with the actors. One of the actors may interact with a few of the audience members seated on stage. If you prefer not to interact, please signal your reluctance if an actor approaches you. They will then choose someone else.
• Programs: Will be handed out after the performance to avoid disrupting the atmosphere.
• Intermission. There will be one 20-minute intermission, so plan washroom trips accordingly. You will need to return to your seats on the stage in good time for the second act.

Theatre management reserves the right to relocate or remove patrons, if needed, to ensure the best and safest experience for all.
