Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 45–60 minutes before showtime to allow time for parking, ticket scanning, and finding your seats. Downtown lots and street parking can fill up close to curtain, especially for popular concerts and annual holiday performances. If you're meeting friends, the glowing marquee on Main Street makes an easy, memorable meetup point.

Weather typically isn’t a concern since the venue is indoors, but winter storms can impact street parking and walking routes on Main Street. Give yourself a few extra minutes during snow season to navigate safely, especially if you’re planning to take photos under the marquee.

Walking is minimal, and the accessible entrance is at street level. If you’re seated in the Balcony, remember there’s no elevator — allow a few additional minutes for stairs and finding your row. Reviewing the Colonial Theatre - Keene seating chart before you go helps you plan the quickest route from the lobby to your section.

Venue Navigation

The layout is straightforward, with the Orchestra on the main floor and the Balcony above. You’ll find restrooms, concessions, and seasonal coat check convenient to the lobby areas. Merchandise stands appear at select performances, and there’s an ATM nearby if you need cash for concessions or souvenirs.

If your tickets are in the Balcony, plan for stairs — there’s no elevator to the upper level. Concessions serve snacks, soft drinks, and limited alcoholic beverages, with local craft beer and wine available at select events. Comfortable footwear is a smart choice, especially if you’ll be using the stairs to reach Balcony rows AA–KK.
