Located ot Folsom Lake College, it is a beautiful, state-of-the-art facility with outstanding acoustics.

The only complaints I have, and the only complaints I ever hear, are that a) they don't serve alcohol. I don't need to get drunk to have a good time, but it would be great if we could get a cocktail or glass of wine before the show, at intermission, or after.

Apparently, some of the college board of trustees are opposed to having booze.

and b) It is staffed by volunteers who appear to be trained to whisper at all times and keep the place quiet and formal.

Dancing is not allowed. One rock band that played there said it was the quietest audience he had ever performed before.

The do have a wide variety of acts coming through, however. Everything from Chinese Acrobats to Kenny Loggins.

It really is a great place to see a show, but you just get in and get out.
