This is a great place to hold school events such as plays or other performances. My daughter just had a play their with her school. The stage is large and well taken care of. Out front and backstage was very clean, including bathrooms. Definitely recommend this place for a variety of events.

I love seeing my niece in plays here and I am saddened that she just turned 18 and it will be the last time she gets to do youth theater. Very fond memories of this place!
