This is a beautiful theatre that hosts high-quality productions. The biggest issue is parking. It's in a very crowded area if downtown Tampa and parking is both expensive and spread out. The other annoying issue is the uncomfortable seats. My grandson is a big man (over 6'4") and he could not get comfortable due to the narrow spacing between aisles. I noticed the man seated at the end of our row was also uncomfortable. I am petite but the seats were not comfortable for me either. As we were leaving, the lady seated next to me also mentioned the uncomfortable seats. We did have a nice view of the stage from the balcony, if only we could have stayed for the entire performance.
