Visited with my family for the Saturday Morning Live series - it was amazing! The theater is historic and beautiful. But the real treat were the performers who gave us a wonderful show while teaching me and my family about adaptability and accessibility.
Thank you

Wife and I were able to get last minute tickets to the theater to see Betelgeuse. It was a great venue and one of the best shows we've ever seen. If you get the chance to see the show, it is highly recommended. The theater is not very big but there didn't seem to be a bad seat.
I've got to admit that this was a fantastic establishment and experience. My first time at this theater and it was very memorable. Firstly, we watched Beetlejuice, which in itself was unexpectedly pleasant. The establishment itself is easy to find and parking isn't far or expensive. Staff were very helpful and our seats were easy to find. The seats were comfortable for a 2.5 hour show and spacious enough to not feel crammed by your neighbor (note: there ARE exceptions). Lastly, the theatre is perfectly sized to see the characters even from the last row. It didn't feel crowded and leaving was, thankfully, a cinch. I look forward to coming back!

Discovered it as we were walking by and saw the lines forming. My sister and I have it memorized so we had to see it. The theater was great. Concessions at multiple levels. The play started on time and we all enjoyed it.

We've seen many shows here over the past few years and have sat in a variety of seats and sections. As a short person, I do wish the seats were staggered and/or rows better spaced. The seats are small and the view varies greatly depending on your seat. I also wish there were more restrooms, but that's always the case for women, sigh. Most shows we've seen have had decent views and good sound. It's a good venue, not the worst and not the best.
The sense of history lingers in the theatre’s appointments and the broadway style balconies make every seat a good seat. I saw JAGGED LITTE PILL and was delighted by the technical capacity of the stage show and the politeness and capability of the rest of the staff.
Saw Jagged Little Pill on Wednesday this week. Theater was a bit dated in terms of comfort but the acoustics were decent. Show was fantastic! The refreshment setup right inside the theater makes the lobby a bit chaotic. Next time we’ll just go to the bar upstairs.
We went to see the New Jack City play and it was giving - of course the bathroom was an issue during intermission but that is expected - the set of the building was fluid - easy to get to seats and it was clean.
