College advertises you can “Dine in elegance, without rushing to the Theatre — because you’re already there! Join us for dinner in the upstairs lobby of the Performing Arts Center” – Is it the only Community College Dinner theater in the Nation? Is this appropriate for a community college? For your property tax support?
Yavapai Community College Performing Arts Center offers pre-show dinners for select performances. In its marketing advertisement the College says that you can “dine in elegance, without rushing to the Theatre — because you’re already there! Join us for dinner in the upstairs lobby of the Performing Arts Center. An elevator is available to access the upstairs.”
Lobby doors to the state-of-the-art theatre (paid for in part by Verde Valley property tax revenue) and the downstairs bar open at 5:00 PM. Not many community colleges can boast of having their own dinner theatre bar.
“Seating and dinner service begin at 5:30 PM. Dinner includes entree, salad, side dish, dessert, non-alcoholic beverages and coffee service. Vegetarian entree available. A cash bar will be available for those who wish to purchase wine, beer, and cocktails. All dinners are pre-paid reservation-only. If there are any food-related concerns, please contact the box office directly.”
The Community College looks “forward to having you join us for dinner soon!”
