Finish dinner 30+ minutes before showtime. Most restaurants offer pre-theater menus.
Highly recommended, especially for evening performances. Book ahead to avoid disappointment.
Most listed restaurants are within 5-10 minutes walk. Factor in extra time during busy hours.

Watched a ballet here (I'm from out of state) friendly staff. Clean. Fairly small so I had a great view of the stage even though I sat a little ways back. Production was excellent. The only down-fall was you had to walk a ways bc the front door was around the building but I didn't know that.
We went and saw Big Daddy Weave in concert. It was my granddaughters first concert, we were both so excited. We were not disappointed! We had an Amazing time!! It was very organized. We didn’t have to wait long to get in. Plenty of parking. It’s a small place, so no matter where you sit you will have an excellent view. My granddaughter said it was best time ever!! I would definitely go to another event here👍👍
Saw Brad Williams and the whole show was awesome. Easy parking, staff was great, and there was enough staff to cover. It was hot inside though. Otherwise, the seats were great.
We love the civic center! The event staff is amazing and the facilities are so well cared for. We do two events there a year and would recommend their meeting space to everyone.
The theater is beautiful, same as the ballroom. At the entrance there was this very nice lady called Kelly who gave us a very enjoyable tour all around. Lovely place
