Caught Boz Scaggs in May. The largest crowd in the building's history. Great venue in a historic place. Sat in the upper balcony near the back. Acoustics are not good there so either pay more to sit in a better location or be willing to settle for poor sound quality.

This is one of the smaller venues I've been too, but that makes every seat in the house a good one. I saw Pat Benatar there and it was awesome. I had seats in the center orchestra section and they were clean and comfortable. I could see the stage in real life without the need for large screen displays. The... More

We saw several films in the theater while at the Full Frame Documentary film festival. The sight lines everywhere were great, even in the second balcony. The theater is beautifully restored.

Visited while covering the outstanding Full Frame Film Festival this past weekend. With 1000 comfortable seats and two balconies with fine sightlines, an ideal venue for cinephiles and a subtle elegance that adds a special touch of nostalgia and charm that is so rare in the multiplex era.

But, as retired folks, the tickets for all art performances seem to be getting more and more... More

Always have great independent events and film festivals. I met Rue mclanahan there and saw the GLBT film festival. Very edgy

Clean, spacious bathrooms! Convenient parking! Fun downtown location with plenty of places within walking distance if... More
