Ample parking, with several handicap spots, which seemed sufficient for the size of the theater/show (local production of the Nutcracker; matinee on the day after Thanksgiving). Outdoor ramps and indoor elevators for handicap accessibility. Inside: Great lighting, great sound. Intimate setting. Very clean (bathrooms included). Balcony: if you are afraid of heights/falling or have small children or balance-challenged guests, I highly recommend *not* purchasing front row, balcony seats, as the bar is barely above my knee, and I am about 5'7. Scared the daylights out of me, as we were just left of center and had to climb over others on the very narrow row, and my hands were full, had a child, and my cane. One of the people already seated was kind enough to recognize my fear and sweetly held onto me as I passed by her, lol. Also, the seats are quite small, so I would advise that if you're not incredibly physically fit... Purchase the balcony side-section seat(s). Those aren't typical theater-style, but rather unanchored, moveable chairs with arms, and plenty of room. We'll definitely choose those next time. There's one small concession stand downstairs with typical snacks and drinks, and a small area where souvenir tables were set up. There were also 2 vending machines upstairs with chips and drinks. Also, not to be nitpicky, but for others with kids or who come hungry: eat before arriving or eat what you purchase before going into the theater. I wish the "no food/drinks" signage would have been placed at the front / downstairs / by the concessions stand (instead of upstairs at the door leading into the theater), so we'd have known before purchasing that we'd have to throw it away unused. But... 1st world problems Overall, though, it was a great experience. My biggest issue was that an usher barreled over us at a pivotal point in the show to scold someone (to be fair, it could have been a child being too close to the incredibly low edge/bar... We couldn't tell), but otherwise, it could have been handled better or at least waited 1.5 minutes for the scene to end. I know this probably sounds gripe-y, but we really did enjoy our experience, but the things I've mentioned are things we would definitely want to take into consideration or know about beforehand so we could more adequately prepare. Hope you enjoy your experience, and we will definitely return for future shows.
