COVID-19 Update

As we reopen Mankato Playhouse and bring Forever Plaid to our stage, our number one priority is ensuring the safety of our actors and audience. We also want to ensure our audience is comfortable returning to the theater for Mankato's Premier Dinner Theater Experience. 

In order to achieve this, we have made the following changes in the way that we operate. Below is a list of things we are doing to ensure a safe environment. 

• We are selling tables, not tickets - Each table will be listed at different prices based on the number of seats at the table. The price of the table includes the show and a meal of choice for each seat. Table prices do not change by how many people are sitting at the table, therefore, if a table for 4 is purchased and only 3 attend, the price does not reduce . 
• Reduce the number of tables/seats in the Theater - In order to accommodate the reopening guidelines, we will be reducing our seating capacity to allow more space between tables. This means we are also rearranging our seating chart to meet social distancing guidelines.  
• Show Only tickets will not be available at the door - Since we are moving to table pricing, show only tickets will not be available until Dinner Sales are closed 24 hours before each performance. Show Only Tickets will become available only if there are tables available and will be priced at a 50% discounted table pricing depending on the number of seats at the table. 
• Hand sanitizing stations set up throughout the theater - We will be adding hand sanitizing stations as well as hand sanitizers at each table. 
• Ensure our caterers are following safety protocols - Absolute Catering will follow all restaurant guidelines in place at the time of opening which may include gloves and masks. 
• Ticket-less check-in -  When you arrive at the theater, all you need is the name on your reservation and you will be seated. We will not collect tickets. 
• Programs will not be recycled  - At the end of each performance, we will have a trash can at the door for you to throw away your program if you choose, however, we recommend keeping the program as a souvenir and so you can remember all the amazing businesses who have put an ad in the program. 
• Tables and chairs will be sanitized before and after each performance - Our ushers and volunteers will be at the theater early and stay after the performance to clean and sanitize all the tables, chairs, and any area our audience comes in contact with.
