The theater was very nice, however getting to it was a little challenging. Turning into the big complex, it was hard to figure out which way to go. There was a sign, but it wasn't lit and I was there at night. It would be nice if there was a large map posted somewhere that you could park and go look at the map and figure out where you're going. It was also difficult to find parking. I didn't see the large parking lot behind the theater until after I parked and walked all the way to the theater. Again, a map would be helpful. Inside the theater was very lovely and the concert was fantastic. Now that I know where I'm going, I will be there again if the opportunity arises.
Joe Robinson , an Australian Guitarist performed his playset with an exactness that could possibly exceed A.I. The theatre has comfortable seats and while Joe brought his own 1968 amp, he filled the air with endless riffs. Joan B. Kroc Theatre is a wonderful solo venue.
Im so glad I went to this dance concert. It was so uplifting and entertaining. The dancers were all great and put in a lot of time practicing to make this show so great. I would recommend seeing the next show in November. We had a wonderful time.
It was nothing short of Spectacular. Majority of everyone was dressed in their period correct costumes. It was a majestic experience that I can watch over and over again..
Plenty of parking, from the acoustics and seating to the welcoming atmosphere. The space is nice yet comfortable, and you can feel the care put into every detail. A perfect venue to enjoy the arts. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!
