The Young & Fun Performance Series is dedicated to bringing the best entertainment for all ages to Lake Placid.
There is no charge for any Young & Fun performance. Seating is first come, first served so we cannot guarantee availability. We recommend arriving early, and/or making a backup plan in the event that we fill the theatre and cannot admit any more audience members (for example, enjoy our outdoor playground and then head to Simply Gourmet or Stewart’s for a snack!).
