Watched The Broadway performance of Pretty Woman. Only con seats aren't really geared for big people.

Great venue. Kathleen Madigan is wonderful!!! Bar lines are slow and wish there was more open right around it afterwards.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

What Rick Flynn said! Good luck!

I saw CATS advertised in last Sunday's Dayton Daily News, but don't see it on your schedule. Are there tickets on sale for it yet?

Mary Mantia | Nov 4, 2019
Benjamin & Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center | Nov 4, 2019

Good afternoon! CATS will be at the Schuster Center May 26-31, 2020. You can find it online at https://victoriatheatre.com/shows/cats/. Season Tickets are available now, but we haven't set single ticket on sale dates yet. The best way to stay up to date and get presale offers is to subscribe to our presale and special offer emails at https://victoriatheatre.com/special-offers/. Thank you!

Do you accept play submissions

Paul sha | Nov 4, 2018
Matthew Heller | Nov 4, 2018

If by play submissions, you mean your written plays, then I suspect a negative answer. However, always worth communicating directly with the theater for a more specific answer. If no, then they might help guide you to someone that would love to review your work. Good luck

Phantom of the Opera

Danny Schneible | Nov 4, 2018

Yes, i believe you are correct.

Can tickets be purchased at the Shuster Center? Is it cheaper that way?

Bryana Hernández | Feb 6, 2022
Benjamin & Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center | Feb 6, 2022

Tickets can be purchased at the Schuster Center Box Office. Tickets at the Box Office are the same price as online. Remember, Dayton Live (and DaytonLive.org) is the only place authorized to sell tickets to shows at the Schuster Center, Victoria Theatre, The Loft Theatre, or PNC Arts Annex. If you see tickets being sold for any show at these venues and it’s not through Dayton Live, it's a ticket scalper which could be selling invalid tickets or tickets at much higher than retail prices.

How To Dress

Debra Bradley | Dec 8, 2021
Peace Onfifth | Dec 8, 2021

Business casual is a safe bet, but it really depends on the performance. The Schuster is a very welcome space and people wear just about anything. For performances like the Nutcracker people tend to dress up a little more and make the night special. For music and comedy performances you will see jeans and show stopping outfits, Philharmonic performances, comfortable business casual. In general the dress code ranges from jeans and khakis to suits. Big days like New Year's Eve for the Phil you may see a tux.

Was very impressed that there was live signage at La Mis. Two ladies stood and took turns. Were they with the troupe or hired by Schuster? Totally admirable!

Most shows that come through the Schuster run through the IATSE union. I would get in touch with Dayton's section of the union to put in your interest for these.

How would one dress for a performance such the Grand Tour performance?

Leatha Chaney | Nov 4, 2018
Will Hoo | Nov 4, 2018

Dress up - more than business casual - suit & tie, or some snazzy version of this. It is FAR better to be overdressed than to be underdressed.
