COVID-19 Policies

Dear Dance Patrons,
We’re eagerly waiting to welcome audiences back for more unforgettable experiences with Canton Ballet. As we return to the theater for upcoming productions, the health and safety of our guests, artists, staff, and volunteers remains our number one priority.

We have joined with performing arts venues in the Northeast Ohio region and around the country to implement a safer return to full-capacity live indoor performances by requiring masks to be worn in all areas of Canton Palace Theatre and for all audience members (ages 12 and up) to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. 

Any audience member (ages 12 and up) who cannot be vaccinated are required to provide a negative COVID-19 test result before entering the theater. Children under 12 are exempt. Masks are required for all ages, 3 and up. 

We know that as you purchase tickets for our upcoming performances, you may have concerns, and we want you to feel confident in your purchases, which is why Canton Ballet is committed to offering flexible options for you.

As a performance date approaches, if you or a member of your group are not feeling well, or you begin to have concerns about attending, please contact us in advance, and we will review your options with you.

We are available to answer any questions you may have at 330-455-7220 or by email at cantonballet@cantonballet.com. 

When we all do our part, we can be healthy together and enjoy live Canton Ballet performances at the Canton Palace Theatre.

Your seat is waiting when you’re ready!

New Bag Policy for the Palace Theatre: In an effort to enhance the safety and security of our guests and employees, any bags or packages measuring larger than 12″ x 12″ x 6″ will not be permitted into the theatre unless they are clear. Exception: medical equipment bags and diaper bags.

Canton Ballet’s The Nutcracker makes its joyous return to the Canton Palace Theatre stage December 11 & 12! A Northeast Ohio holiday tradition for over 50 years, this classical ballet — from its dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy to its iconic snow scene, all set to the beloved music of Tchaikovsky — will captivate audiences of all ages.
