The real crown jewel of this experience outside of  exclusive evening tour of the Kalamazoo State Theatre complete with hors d’oeuvres, a complimentary champagne toast, professional photos for you and your date, and more.

According to James Shotwell of the Kalamazoo State Theatre,

This should be an absolutely magical evening and a once in a life time experience for anyone looking to spend more time with one of Kalamazoo's most historic and beautiful venues. We invite you to have dinner within the same halls that your favorite artists and comedians visit when they come to town.

So make a plan to grab your tickets before they sell out- this is only limited to 10 couples. Your date will thank you for taking them to the state.
