Season passes are available for this revised season. • We are offering five-pass and three-pass Season Passes, as well as an eight-pass option that is good for this season and next season (through June 2022). All are great values! • As always, LTVB Season Passes are flex-passes.

ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGESLTVB is now selling pre-packaged alcoholic beverages before our shows and during intermission. Alcoholic bev-erages will include beer, wine, hard seltzer, and vodka cocktails. In addition to alcoholic beverages, LTVB will sell diet and regular Coke, bottled water and snacks. Beverages and snacks may be pre-purchased when you buy your ticket or exchange your season pass online. Our introductory prices for non-alcoholic beverages will be between and $1 and $2, and alcoholic beverages will range from $5 to $10.

Your pre-purchased beverage/snack of choice will be available for pickup at the kitchen bar when you enter the theatre. If you decide to wait until you arrive at the theatre, you may still purchase a beverage and/or snack. All beverages and snacks can be consumed inside the theatre.

LTVB will follow all ABC Guidelines in the selling and consumption of alcoholic beverages. As such, LTVB will: - Require proof of age for anyone under 30. - Limit the purchase of alcoholic beverages to two (2) drinks per person at a time. - Require proof of age at the time of pickup if you have pre-purchased your drink. - Reserve the right to refuse to sell you alcohol if you appear intoxicated.

Please note that LTVB will no longer provide free coffee, soda and cookies during intermission. You may recall that prior to the pandemic, LTVB volunteers poured soda and coffee into open cups and placed cookies on trays in the lobby during intermission. The Board of Directors determined that this practice should not continue because of health safety concerns.

In addition, the water fountain in the lobby cannot be thoroughly sanitized after use during performances. Patrons at-tending shows are welcome to bring their own bottled water for consumption in the theatre.We hope you will be pleased with the selection of beverages and snacks for purchase. It is our goal to make your theatri-cal experience even more enjoyable. Proceeds from the sales of snacks and beverages will allow us to fund future re-pairs to our aging building, improve the safety of the premises, and continue to produce quality theatrical productions.

The safety and comfort of our patrons is very important to us at LTVB. To that end, we hope you noticed our NEW parking lot as you made your way into the building. No more undulating pavement!

Once inside the lobby, you will notice our social distancing protocols and guides to traffic flow throughout the building. Our auditorium has been socially distanced, also. We can now only hold a maximum of 43 patrons per show.

In the auditorium, we have installed handrails in each stairway. And we have upgraded our understair lights to provide greater illumination when entering and exiting the seating area.

WWe are very pleased to be welcoming our patrons back to LIVE theatre in as safe an environment as possible.
