Ann StevensApril 29, 2018The seats are comfortable and not too close together. The sound is great. I love the "old theater" decor. The artwork on the ceiling is great. Definitely a place to see.Upvoted Sep 5
Good theatre. Seats are tight and uncomfortable, especially if you have longer legs. It's a trade off for the steep angle and good view of the stage.

TOTweetFestNovember 1, 2011Upper balconies seats are small and need updated, no leg room. A/C blows strong so take jacket/sweater or something to keep warm. But still good view of the stage.
