The Understudy Lounge
In the spring of 2022, we held the grand re-opening of the theatre lounge, refurbished and renamed as The Understudy.
Located beneath the theatre and adjacent to the lobby & box office, The Understudy now offers lounge chairs, whiskey barrel tables, and an abundance of ambiance.
The bar area will be open for purchase - Covid restrictions permitting - offering beer, wine and a variety of snacks. Concessions will likewise be sold one hour prior to performance.
Accessibility
The Leary Theatre offers full accessibility in compliance with the ADA. The front row is held for wheelchair patrons and their companions until the rest of the seats are sold. Please be sure to make your reservations sooner rather than later.
