I've attended events at Laxson multiple times and I find for its age and comely appearance it holds fine acoustics, good seating and atmosphere.
Laxson Auditorium is AWESOME. They always have something at playing. Last play we saw was Mulan Jr(played by kids) with my child's class. They totally catered to the kids, and the main guy was very friendly. Will definitely be back!
I love Laxson auditorium! Quintessential Chico at its finest. The manager Chris Z is the best and kindest person ever.
The floor outside still has ash on it- do not tread if barefoot.
It was a great show. The venue was interesting. The atmosphere lent itself to nostalgia. The seats were uncomfortable and I am only 5'8". They we're a little close front to back so my legs got a little cramped. The people sitting in front of you can block your view to some degree. I enjoyed the show and the atmosphere, but the rest was difficult to get past for a long show.
Excellent place for acoustic based music, especially folk and classical. It can get a strong reverb if rock and roll is played at volume however 5 stars for the building itself although the rows of seats are too narrow and knees will knock sitting attendees if trying to get to a center row seat.
This is a beautiful, conveniently located venue. I have seen dozens of ballet and dance performances and authors speak here. Going to Tres Hombres across the street for dinner and a drink and then walking to the show is fun.
Beautiful auditorium. Ambience, acoustics and overall a great venue.
Great place to hold a graduation or to watch theater.
