A Birthday to Remember

The festivities begin with priority seating for family and friends at one of our unique performances, including a special announcement before the show introducing the birthday girl or boy. Next, it's off to Harlequin Hall for the perfect birthday celebration. You can even add a Create-A-Puppet Workshop so each guest can make a souvenir puppet to take home. It's a one-of-a-kind party for your one-of-a-kind kid!

The prices below are given as a general guideline. Actual cost will vary based on the number in your party.


The birthday package includes:

  • Tickets to an enchanting performance for all of your guests
  • Harlequin Hall birthday room rental*
  • Priority seating in the theater for you and your guests
  • Crown and throne for the birthday child
Birthday Room Rental: $75 (45 minute rental)
Performance Ticket: $8 each, with every 10th ticket free
minimum of ten tickets required

*Parties larger than 40 must reserve an adjoining room for an additional fee of $75.

Parties expecting groups of more than 80 people are required to rent all three Harlequin Hall rooms for double the time of a regular party. This allows for up to one hour for set-up and one hour for the party and clean-up. The cost is $450 and must be paid at the time of booking.

  • Parties are available on weekends only. Please make your reservations at least 4 weeks in advance - space is limited and dates fill up quickly.

  • Once payment has been made, we cannot issue refunds, however, the party date can be changed and rain checks will be issued for unused tickets.

Tips for planning your party:
  • EVERY person attending the show MUST have a ticket (including both adults & children ages 2 & up)
  • Tickets MUST be reserved and paid for in advance. This guarantees that your group will be seated together. If tickets are added the day of the party, those guests are not guaranteed seating with the birthday group.
  • Birthday groups receive Priority Seating, which is directly behind the Members-only Seating in the front of the theater. *NOTE: When there is more than one party per show, groups will be seated behind each other.
  • Cake, refreshments, party supplies and decorations are not provided by the Center.
  • Papa John's Pizza delivers right to the Center for lunch! Call 404.872.5252 and ask about the Center's Birthday special.
  • A MAXIMUM of 40 people (including babies) is permitted in each party room. If available, an adjoining room may be rented for an additional $75 per 45 minute time period.
  • Parties expecting groups of more than 80 people are required to rent all three Harlequin Hall rooms for double the time of a regular party. This allows for up to one hour for set-up and one hour for the party and clean-up. The cost is $450 and must be paid at the time of booking.
  • You will have a minimum of 15 minutes to set up and decorate the room prior to the party. Earlier set-up times may be available depending on the number of parties scheduled per day. Please check with the Birthday Coordinator regarding availability. Otherwise, it will be necessary to have an adult stay in the room to set up during the show.
  • Each group is given 45 minutes in the party room. Please make sure your party ends promptly so the room can be prepared for the next group. If available, additional time may be added for $75 per 45 minute time period.
  • If including a Create-A-Puppet Workshop, plan for the activity to last 30 minutes. Please be prepared to leave the workshop room promptly so it can be prepared for the next group.
  • Limited free parking is available in the Center's parking lot.
  • For directions to the Center, click here.
  • The Center is handicapped-accessible, including a ramp leading up the entrance and an elevator that accesses all three floors inside the building. However, both theaters have stairs, so patrons in wheelchairs will be seated in front of Member Seating.
