REVIEWS:

“The show was great and there was a good amount of parking nearby. They got everyone seated pretty fast as well. The only area where I could see improvement would have to be in making sure that pedestrian traffic in the lobby area is constantly moving to ensure that people traveling through can get to where they need to be. ” -Steven Weigelt

“Great old school venue. Very small, not a really bad seat in the house due to the rotating stage. There is a large bar downstairs we did not know about and was nice to hang before the show.” -Jeff Lloyd

“Nice theatre venue with 2 convenient parking garages across the street. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We saw Harry Connick Jr and sat center stage, row 7 which were temporary folding chairs which weren’t the most comfortable but it was only for an hour and a half. Didn’t use the restrooms so I can’t comment on that.” -Joe Vitale
