Took my hubby to a play

We saw A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder. I had seen this on Broadway, so was excited to see it again. I was a little disappointed, to say the least, but had to realize we weren’t in NYC. The theater is outstanding, especially on...More

Thank you for attending the show! As you can imagine, the resources with a Broadway production are a lot greater than that of a regional production, but we're glad that you realize that. While the exterior of our theatre is completed, the interior is still...More

Thank you for attending! While the exterior is completed, the interior is still an on-going fundraiser. We are well aware of the problems of air conditioning a 136-year-old building and are actively working to remedy that. The gift shop has been undergoing an overhaul as...More

The restoration work... Amazing!

This theater is a historic landmark worth visiting for any concert or play. They usually have some great ones going on during the summer n such the beautifully restored outside and lovingly maintained inside is truly awe inspiring.

Date of experience: June 2018

Thanks, Alicia. We hope to see you this summer. We have a great line up of shows both for adults and for families.

Lovely Refurbished Theater
