Batman ventures into Gotham City’s underworld when a sadistic killer leaves behind a trail of cryptic clues.

Both sides of the amphitheater will have a total of 332 new additional seats so that more people can enjoy our shows under the covered section. These sections will have permanent seats, like the other ones, tentatively added to them in March 2023. The stage is still visible from some of the grass seating.
We've hit 100 surveys completed so far! 🎉
But we would love to hear from more of the community on the 2022 Ruby Amphitheater events.
The survey takes less than 5 minutes to complete but provides us with valuable information to help improve next season.
