Please donate to this starving theater. This is a beautiful place. They need to upgrade the sound system. Someone reach out to these wonderful young talented people and help them shine more. A beautiful place, you cannot hear them well. Please donate. Great place to do it with our young people. Great young adults. Some of them are going places.

My daughter dances in recitals and competitions here at least 5 times each year and participated in the youth theater program for the first time this summer and loved it. The seating is comfortable and you get a decent view from anywhere, but the best rows are f-h, in the center. The temperature is usually comfortable, even at full capacity. There is ample space “backstage” for costume changes and a smaller stage for warming up/practicing. Sound and lighting are great. Bathrooms are usually clean and stocked. There is a large cafeteria on the first floor. The theater is on the second floor
