Your guide to this season at the Harris Theater
22 23
Welcome to the Harris Theater’s 2022/23 PNC Family Series! We are so excited to be back for another vibrant season.
Whether you have been coming to the Family Series for years or are visiting the Harris for the first time today, we want your time here to be enjoyable and inspiring. This book will be your guide as you explore our space, watch the performance, and express yourself with coloring pages, writing prompts, and other activities. Be sure to stop by the Nichols Lobby on Level 1 for our special activity of the day and to meet the artists you see onstage.
As always, we encourage you to laugh, clap, and experience the theater in your own way— no shushing allowed!
Are you still reading this? Go have fun!

Want to get to know the space a little better? See if you can find all the locations listed below in the Harris Theater. Check off the boxes as you go. If you have any trouble, feel free to ask a member of the HT staff for help!
HELP PLEASE
1. The Box Office This is where you pick up your tickets before the show.
2. Season Murals These big, beautiful posters give a preview of shows to come to the HT stage. Can you find all three?
3. Nichols Lobby Screen The big screen where you can watch the show if you arrive late or need to step away from the show.
4. Concessions This is where you can buy drinks and snacks. Check out the new Snack Box options!
5. Guthman Gallery Hallway This one’s tricky. We display a lot of art here, but you probably recognize it because it’s where the water fountain and restrooms are. Take some time to find your favorite piece of art before the performance!
