Review of Clarence Brown Theatre

I may be a bit biased having worked there for seve...

I may be a bit biased having worked there for seven years, but having been in entertainment for 20+ years also makes me a bit judgemental.... having said that, the Clarence Brown Theatre is a treasure.

Theatre is an experience and the CBT delivers.... free parking, excellent curb appeal, plenty of bathrooms (you heard that right--they went from 4 to 14 women's stalls this year), great sightlines from every seat in all three theatres, amazing acoustics, disability accommodations of every form, and an unparalleled team of artists (resident, student, and from around the globe) all of which delivers better than most major venues be it Atlanta, Chicago, LA, or New York.

There's something for everyone at the CBT whether it's produced by the company or someone else, and the prices hover in the realm of a night at the Cinebar with concessions a quarter of the price.

I'm frankly at a loss as to how anyone in the region doesn't take advantage of this jewel and amazed at how the company manages to sustain such production value.

Whether you live here or you're just passing through, check out what's showing.
