Daytime Ambience
During the day, Curtain Call serves as a cozy café where patrons can enjoy their favorite hot beverages, like a chai latte or an Americano using locally roasted coffee from La Colombe. If you want to pair a pastry with your tea or coffee, we have options starting at just $5!
Take your lunch break with us and enjoy fresh, gourmet salads and delicious, toasted sandwiches in a relaxed atmosphere.
Evening Transformation:
The night doesn’t have to end after the curtain falls on your performance. Keep the magic alive with an array of small, savory sharing plates complemented by Curtain Call's specialty cocktails. Whether it’s the rich and indulgent Fig Old Fashioned, the perfectly elevated Margarita, or the bold and unexpected Cherry Crush, there’s a drink to match every mood.
Notable Patrons:
With multiple stages just steps away, you never know who might drop in.
Stay a while — you just might find yourself sharing a toast with distinguished artists, including The Philadelphia Orchestra’s Music and Artistic Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin, musicians of The Philadelphia Orchestra, stars from touring Broadway shows, and performers from Ensemble Arts’s jazz, dance, and family events.
