Due to park restrictions, we are not allowed to have food or drinks in the theater but many of our patrons enjoy the grassy area in front of the theater as a picnic area for party festivities. Attend the show and invite your partygoers to enjoy the park outside on the lawn in front of the theater. Eva Kvaas offers a puppet making workshop for 3 year olds and above (please contact her at 619-544-9203).
