This is a comfortable and classy venue. We attended a Dance Performance by Gregory Hancock Dance Theater Company.... The quality of the dancing, music, lighting, choreography, and stage set was remarkable. This event venue would be perfect for anyboive performance. Check it out :)
Just attended a performance by Circle City Sound, presenting a program of Broadway hits. The bonus was a special performance by Gimme Four, an award-winning barbershop Quartet from New Jersey. Excellent program. Great facility. Lovely town.
Today was my first visit to see a performance at the Civic Theater. It is a really nice place. My group was very impressed to see the auditorium and performance. We really enjoyed it. My only dislike was at the end when it was time to leave. The woman in charge (wearing an orange shirt) of dismissal made a few negative remarks towards my group. She told the children to follow me the Queen Bee. She also said we would leave last since we came in last. Even thou we were closest to the exit. She said we were really quiet and that she is so suprised that we were quiet. Her remarks seemed racial, and I do Not appreciate it! One person will not stop our return and ability to enjoy our Field Trip. Hopefully she was just having a bad day. God bless her.
King Bee and the Stingers had an incredible time at the Tarkington Theater. Herb Albert was sold out next door - I felt the love coming from his show. Great venue, and the staff was awesome!
Great venue, even better we got to see Tege Holt for his release concert!
