History Theatre provides groups of all shapes, sizes, and ages with a theatre experience that goes beyond just a discounted ticket price. From the moment you start planning your visit until the end of the post-show discussion, you will experience the personalized touch that makes our group experience stand out. We make it easy to bring any organization – Red Hats, church, employees, bank club, tour, neighborhood club – or just a group of your closest friends together for a matinee or evening of great theatre. Group rates are available for groups of 15 or more.
