A show at an iconic
theatre and an
overnight stay at your choice of two gorgeous hotels - for an all-new
EXCLUSIVE DISCOUNT price.
Here's how it works: click on the show below to request the performance you'd like to see
and your choice of hotel. You will be contacted to confirm the type of room you require
— and your exclusive 15% discount on both theatre tickets and hotel stay will be
provided.
Example**: The online cost of theatre tickets ($41.13) will be discounted to $35.00.
At the time of this writing, a room with a Queen Bed at the Champlain would be $137, but the
Sunshine Package 2025 rate based on double occupancy is only 116/night
($140.59 with tax). Add 2 theatre tickets at $70 and you're getting a hotel, breakfast and
show for less than $106 each!

change
depending on availability and time of booking. This example may not reflect current pricing.

history, growing as a hub for local artists and historians.

comedy

be the
first to enjoy this flip side of the love list!
