Sometimes, planning a romantic evening together can be a bit of a challenge. But instead of opting for the usual movie or club, make plans to see some truly unforgettable drama as it unfolds on the stage of Kavinoky Theatre. This fully restored 1908 Victorian playhouse is the perfect place to revisit various classic plays, or maybe see the flowering of the talents of some up-and-coming actors. Either way, you and your sweetheart will not only enjoy what's happening on stage, but also the venue's regal ambiance and vintage feel are fitting backdrops for your special romantic date together.
