Nice theater for a small venue. I'd say holds between 800-1000 people?!? The sound system needs a bit of updating but it's not bad at all. Not sure if it's the size or the lay out, but at certain times during a show the sound can get a bit muffled. Also the seats could use a bit of re-padding/updating. Problem's with the old joints, so sitting in the seats for 2 hours was uncomfortable. Just realize it's an older theater and I believe it runs on donations, sponsorships and the money taken in from shows they have there. (Not 100% sure on that. I'm sure you could research the theater online to find out for sure.) All in all it's not bad, it's clean, bright, the staff is very helpful and nice. You do get a good view of the stage from where ever you are in the theater. Plus there are multiple parking lots all around and near the place which is a big plus. It gives you a feeling of a more intimate space to see a show or concert, which is nice. Worth the trip to see a performance of any kind there, you'll enjoy yourself.
