As the Producing Artistic Director of the Depot Theatre, I do not trivialize or take for granted this unique opportunity to stand in solidarity with the many Black artists in our industry and beyond who have shared their talents and given so much to our audiences in the North Country over our 42 year history. 

You are seen, you are heard and your cries for equality do not and will not fall on deaf ears. I am in this with all of you and will continue to insist on nothing less than what is just and fair.

– Kenney Green, Producing Artistic Director

The Depot Theatre season is about to begin…

Just in time, we’ve put together a short list of insider tips for our patrons!

In no particular order, here at the top 4:

1. $20 Preview Nights sell out fast!

“Preview Night” performances for each main stage production occur on the first Friday (7:30PM) of that production’s run. A Preview Night is a fully rehearsed and staged performance, although some directorial decisions may be changed for future performances, and is offered at a lower price to ensure that theatre is more accessible for everyone. Tickets for Preview Night performances are $20.* Preview Night dates for 2019 are:  June 28, July 19, and August 9.  More Info

Many thanks to our Preview Night Sponsor: Emmet Carter Green Design!

2. Make it DINNER and a Show!

The Depot Theatre and participating area restaurants have teamed up to offer a great experience – and a terrific way to support professional theatre in the Adirondacks.

These partner restaurants are supporting the Depot in a variety of ways, from donating a percentage of the bill for the meal, to donating gift certificates, to preparing prix fixe meals specifically for Depot patrons, and other valued support!

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO?  Make a reservation!

3. Want to save a couple bucks? Order tickets directly from the box office.

We’re all accustomed to the convenience of purchasing online, and it’s a primary mechanism for Depot Theatre ticket sales, too. However, you can save yourself some money by buying directly from the box office in person or by phone.

Here’s why: A processing fee may be added to tickets purchased online. This fee is charged by a third-party provider, PrintTixUSA, the company that provides the service for the Depot.

If you stop in or call the box office, you will still be charged the $2 facility and education fee, but will avoid the online fees. The Box Office is open from 1:00-4:00 every day EXCEPT Tuesday and on performance days it is open 1:00 to show time.

Stop in or call them at 518.962.4449!

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.35)” divider_position=”center” _builder_version=”4.4.6″ width=”100%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”0px||1em||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” saved_tabs=”all” global_module=”7124″][/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.6″ hover_enabled=”0″]

4. Bring a “theatre sweater”

sweaterIt’s a good idea to bring an extra layer to the Depot, as the air conditioning in the theatre does a great job of mitigating the heat coming from the stage lighting, but can make the air in the audience cool enough to make temperature-sensitive folks a bit chilly. So bring a fleece, sweater, sweatshirt, jacket, blanket or cape to ensure that you aren’t distracted from the talented folks on stage!

Have any other questions? Send them to us HERE.

See you at the station!

Craig Johnson

The Depot’s 2018 production of Always…Patsy Cline is dedicated to Craig Johnson.

As you might have heard, The Depot Theatre’s 40th Anniversary Season will open with a super fan favorite from the past 39 years, Always…Patsy Cline.

What you might not have heard is that this year, the drumbeat behind Patsy Cline’s famous songs will resonate a little bit deeper than in past years’ productions.

Longtime Depot friend and drummer, Craig Johnson, passed away earlier this year. Craig was the drummer for several Depot productions over the years, including Always…Patsy Cline in 2009, in which the playbill lists the band in that show as “The Bodacious Bobcats Band.”

According to his wife, Tammy, Craig absolutely loved playing on stage at the Depot – it was his favorite gig. She has donated some of Craig’s drums and percussion accessories to the Depot, where they will be lovingly played on stage this year and for seasons to come.

The Depot Theatre’s 2018 production of Always...Patsy Cline is dedicated to our friend Craig Johnson. His on-stage presence will be missed, but the spirit of his talent, dedication and gentle kindness will remain forever present.
