Pre & Post Show Events

Make it an Evening (or a special matinee)

Cocktails, live music, behind-the-scenes insights — you’re invited to the party. There’s something for everyone!

6PM Pre-Show (First Preview)

This event is the new and improved version of “Taste of Tuesday.” Still catering to subscribers and now open to the community, this event offers free catered food from a local restaurant and wine tasting from Castle Wines. “The Chat” is a Q+A portion of the event where a member from the production or the community will talk for 15 minutes with a WCP staff member about the performance our patrons will shortly see. Patrons are encouraged to ask questions to guest speakers. Conversations are not limited to production. Questions and comments can be centered around their journey in the theatre industry or work in the community. Please call the Box Office for more information.

6PM Pre-Show (Thursday Preview)

PRIDE Night is a cocktail party for the LGBTQ+ community and friends, with live entertainment, a limited open bar from Troupe429, and appetizers from local restaurants. Local LGBTQ+ community partners will be promoting their organization and offer free SWAG. Please call the Box Office for more information on tickets.

6:30PM Pre-Show (Friday Preview)

This communal celebration is specifically curated for our black, brown and BIPOC identifying communities. This FREE event will highlight food + drink from black-owned restaurant, plus live entertainment.
