The Sherman Theater Review

Excellent Venue. The house lights for stage could be better.

Lighting and sound was amazing! Interior was shabby but great show overall!

Intimate setting , with a great, courteous staff!! Thanks for a great night!

Awesome concert venue and great experience. The bar service is cash only, lost a star there (c'mon it's 2019 get a credit card machine).

Stone Temple Pilots fantastic. Security was beefed up. Felt safe. Had a great time.

Excellent venue, great lineups, easy to get drinks.

Had a blast perfect to see my favorite band parkway drive! Ty can't wait to see Bullet!

Saw Vicious, Neck Deep, Sleeping With Sirens, Cedar Green, and Versus at the Sherman Theatre. Very exciting time!!!!! For a music venue in NEPA it brought me a lot of ambience, it didn't feel like a dangerous environment filled with obnoxious security/staff and it was the opposite of crowded. Would love to go see a concert here again!!!

Saw Railroad Earth for the first time last night. Fantastic band. Great lights show and and awesome venue. Beer prices were reasonable. Can't wait to go to another show

It's a lovely piece of history... Good sound for shows but parking can be tricky...

A great place to see a concert in a intimate setting.

We go every year to see Railroad Earth the weekend after Thanksgiving. The facility is clean, the staff are really nice and security is great!

I really enjoy the sit down shows here. I personally did not like standing because I was on an angle all night. Great nightlife around the area.

This place is for drunken Teeny Boppers on Friday and Saturday nights. Skeptical? Take a ride on main street and see a line going 5 stores down of drunk kids. Sad

A great show... but the theater could use some TLC. Lines at the bars and restrooms were out the door, and the design stacks the lines all together so it s a confusing mess. All of the doors to enter the main theater were blocked all night because of the lines. Seems like it would be pretty easy to address if they were motivated

Always great sound here! No public parking attached. Have to use a meter lot close by and there usually aren't many spots. Makes parking difficult

A ton of great concerts and events here over the years.

Got to enjoy a great show put on by Granger Smith here. The venue is a neat little venue, open standing and also seating available on the sides. It's a venue where you absolutely get to be up close and personal with the performers. Would love to see more shows here.

Concert was great but the drinks were too expensive

Nice venue. Friendly staff. If you don't like standing in general admission, they have quite a bit of seating. It's about 1.5 hours from home, but we've seen at least a dozen shows here. If you get there early, Stroudsburg is a really cute town, so walk around and enjoy it.

This place is fantastic. The atmosphere takes you right back to a simpler time. They kept it almost original by the looks of things. The staff and security team are courteous. We went here to see Blue October. I will absolutely go back here to see another show in the near future!! Make sure to remember your ID if your planning on drinking here they do card....i forgot mine haha

Great place to see a show! Cool staff, great acoustics.

Not a bad venue if you don't mind standing up for the whole show. They have limited seats that might be first come first serve.

Phenomenal venue, In This Moment show was fantastic.

The venue itself is nice with about 20 chairs and maybe some space for 20 people to stand. The lighting and sound engineers are good
.the place as an open Mic space is better than many other places in the sense that it is just that....a performance space.....not a bar,coffee house, hookah lounge,etc where you are coaxed into buying something. There is no cover charge and everyone there is to see entertainment or attempt to entertain. The showcase is between the Sherman theatre and a laundrymat and there is on street parking out front. My only critique is that the open Mic hostess should say something between sets after a performance like ..." that was blah blah blah, give it up for blah..." and NOT just say "up next is blah blah blah ". Saying thank you and mentioning the name of the band seems more welcoming and grateful to those who traveled to play out and maybe it was their first time at the showcase. The hostess seemed nice but was unenthusiastic and seemed even bored as the open Mic host. Being dismissive of certain performances and not others is a reason someone such as myself wouldn't want to travel an hour to play again. I did wear spandex, rock out a banjo, and sport a manly handle bar moustache for the occassion... the hostess was obviously NOT impressed. Photo included!

My husband and I saw Circa Survive here last night and thoroughly enjoyed the show. The venue lends itself to live music, as there are good sightlines from most of the general admission area. We called earlier to ask if there was a coat check and were told there was, only to arrive and be told that they stop offering "once it gets warmer out". This turned out to be only a mild inconvenience as it stayed pretty cold inside anyway. The staff was very friendly and the theater is located in a nice downtown area. Overall, we had a great time and will return to see more shows.

Paranoid "No Re-entry" policy renders you prisoner while you are inside. 'Cash only' bar with very expensive drinks only leads one to the conclusion that proceeds are not on the books and in the smarmy CEO's pocket. Security is overbearing and rude at times. Smoking area is a crowded, dirty alleyway. Popular shows will be oversold, fans will be packed in like sardines in a can. Sloped floor leading to stage hurts back after standing for 2 hours. Bathrooms are akin to a 3rd world country. Exclusive and pricey box seats are forced to share with all VIP's.

It was not worth my $40, will not return next year!

Such a cute little theater. I went on a date to see Change: The Musical. The production wasn't that great, but the venue was absolutely beautiful and cozy

The staff was great, and close free parking is a definite bonus! Members of The Sherman get tons of perks!

Many good shows here. Always something different. Its on the smaller side but so much history here. No parking lot so parking can be a real pain.

Awesome venue.....love going to shows at the Sherman !!!

Wheelchair Accessibility: This review focuses on ADA compliance and wheelchair accessibility in the venue itself. Although Sherman Theater doesn't have designated ADA sections, they made every effort to accommodate people with mobility devices during my most recent visit to see Blue October. When I explained that I'm a wheelchair user to the box office, I was instructed to show up about 15 minutes before doors opened. I lined up with a few other wheelchair and scooter users. We were greeted by an amazing security staff member named Danny who took great care in making sure that we made it to the front row on the right corner of the stage. He parted the crowd for us and politely asked other general admission ticket holders to allow us in front so as to make sure we could see the stage free of obstructions. Danny was extremely attentive throughout the show by checking on us all periodically and making sure our area remained free of obstructions. When the show was over he was right there to help us get through the crowd with minimal difficulty.
I really feel like Danny made every effort to make sure that I had the same chance to experience the show as anyone else who pays full price for a ticket. I've been to many shows in the past at The Sherman Theater when I had to advocate for myself and even though they typically worked out, it was always a very anxious experience. Thanks to Danny and what felt like an impromptu ADA seating section, I won't hesitate to by tickets to shows there ever again. I'm confident I'll be taken care of once I get there. Thank you!

Went to see Smith and Myers. First time ever at the Sherman. The show was great, but the Skybox was a joke. I was talked into a membership and sold the goods on how great the Skybox was. Paid essentially over 2x the regular ticket cost. When we got there the Skybox was the old projector room with no seats. Additionally it is shown as 2 Skyboxes that seat 12 each. In reality it is one small room that they squeeze 24 people into without seats. They put up a temporary room divider that eats up even more space into the already tiny room. The food that comes with this "luxury" box is essentially a box of Ritz and a few slices of cheese. We were also supposed to get a dedicated server, but there was nobody there until I made an issue of the terrible accomodations and they pulled someone from the bar to take our order.

BTW, the party in Skybox #2 (the 12 people on the other side of the room divider) were just as unhappy as my group. They were sold the same story....

The Sherman is my favorite venue for concerts. There is a cool bar, somtimes snacks, and there is not a bad seat in the house. Right in the middle of all the action in downtown Stroudsburg, there is lots to do and see. Plenty of bars and restaurants, great if you get there early. The price is right and the shows I've been at here are was more intimate then larger venues.

Saw Stone Temple Pilots there last year, went back to see them again May 29th 2019. Awesome sound system and acoustics and they have an outdoor smoking area.

Old time throw back feel. We enjoyed the concert. Thank you!

If they fixed it up, tickets would be more expensive, take it for what it is!

Just saw Breaking Benjain acoustic set with y wife and daughter. Had the most amazing time. The theater was clean, there was not a bad seat in the house. Acoustics were righteous!!! We would definitely come back !!

Former movie theater which is now a great venue for shows of all types. The slanted floor makes it easy to see the act no matter where you are standing.

First time at The Sherman Showcase to see my son's band, Crookshanks, perform. Really nothing special about it except it's next to The Sherman Theater. It's on a convenient location on the busy Main Street. A nice place to see local bands.

Excellent small venue that books some bigger-name acts. Plus, the scene around the venue on Main St in Stroudsburg offers good food, good drinks, great atmosphere, and diverse shops.

I've been here at least a dozen times over the past few years and I'm never disappointed. Great atmosphere, a wide variety of shows and artists, and helpful staff always make it a joy.

I love watching the fights I was amazed. It's so much better in person then on TV!!

Great Venue, Close to home, Great for family as well

Awesome concert venue, not a bad seat in the theater

Big space stage gets you close enough to be sweat on

They get some good bands, but there is no place to park and after paying $60 for a ticket, the least they could do is provide a water fountain since they will only sell water in bottles. It sucks that they are really just in it for the money and not the art.

Such a great venue with quite decent priced tickets.

Great little theater in a quaint town!
An intimate setting, so I LOVE seeing shows there! You can even go out for food & drinks before or afterwards!

Nice place to catch a concert. Tickets r priced ok.
Beats driving back from Philly ...

It was great. There was room for u to dance, and there r seats to sit in also.

Perfect size, good amount of bartendars, never a long wait.

Visited the Sherman for a mma fight in November and I was very impressed with the setup and arrangements. However, I was super disappointed that one draft beer was $10...

Redid their floors and stepped their game up with lights and sound. Great venue for a show

Nice venue, and surprisingly quite clean even at with bigger shows. The problem from I've had with the 3 times I've been there is the slant of the floor for General Admission. It's a slow but sure way to be quite sore after a show. Didn't take away from excellent shows, though.

Love these guys they give a lot back to the community
