Friends and families can gather, bring their lawn chairs or blankets, pack a picnic or enjoy food from Riverfront restaurants—and enjoy a night of professional theatre under the stars while reveling in the last of the summer season. All seating will be open seating, however, large groups may reach out to S3 to discuss the best options for ensuring your group can sit together.
