Tips & Advice
- Book your school or kindergarten group's attendance early, as registration for specific dates opens on August 14th for younger groups and August 28th for older students.

- For groups larger than 200 people, be prepared to be flexible with your choice of play and performance date to secure a spot.
- Note that the ticket price of €11 per person applies to both children and accompanying adults, with no differentiation.
- For groups with children around 135-140cm tall, consider the balcony seats for the 'The Gingerbread Man' performance, though they are generally recommended for older students.
