Tips & Advice

  • Arrive early to check in at the box office in the basement and explore the lobby's tables, chairs, and books before heading upstairs for the performance.
  • Since seating is not assigned, consider arriving a bit before the performance starts to secure a good spot on the carpeted floor close to the stage.
  • While photography is not allowed during the performance, the theatre company often brings out puppets for photos afterward, so be ready to capture those memories.
  • If you encounter any issues with online tickets or have questions, don't hesitate to email info@wideopen.ca or text 306.683.9460 for assistance.
  • The concession offers coffee, juice, and treats, making it a convenient place to grab a snack while waiting for the show to begin.
