I went last night to see a Gary Owens comedy show. The show was good. The Theatre should consider a couple big screens to allow people farther back and up to view the acts a little more clearly. Maybe a couple more bartenders to keep the lines moving faster would be helpful.

So happy the sound system has been revamped. I enjoyed a wonderful "Tribute to Whitney Houston" holiday concert there in December 2025.

Great location... saw Legend. Sound perfect. Earplugs available. Liked the second half more than the first. Really large sudience capacity... found it easy to park nearby at a private biz. All in all? GREAT!

I would definitely come here again. John legend was everything and this venue was sufficient.

I like it although it's a bit difficult to find good parking. The place is a bit old but it's fancy. The seats feel a bit old, but if you go to a concert you barely seat. It was fun and the personal is always helpful.
