The Shedd Institute is a nonprofit community music school in downtown Eugene offering summer camps for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. One-week Summer SongFest camps introduce elementary kids to American music through song, instruments, dance, and visual arts, while older students can join the mariachi program, Musical Theatre Training Academy, or Young Artist Academy, which culminates in a festival concert.

Powered by GoogleExcellent shows that cover a wide range of entertainment and artists. The 100 year old church that was converted into a beautiful sound venue with classrooms and music school is an asset to the Eugene area. A must for music and entertainment enthusiasts.
WOW!! Love this place!!! Small, I intimate, good sound, well run, creative...Saw Pat Matheny, usually a trio, but 2 amazing musicians added. I lost count, but there were at least 4, standing ovations. The audience would not stop cheering and clapping, and the group would not stop playing. What a treat!! I think they were amazed at the positive power in such a relatively small venue. More please!
The Shedd is a wonderful music venue and tracing center. Many amazing shows and programs. Our favorite place.
Awesome place to see great performances! Not a bad seat in the place. They could use a little bit better bar with some goodies for between shows. A little direction of what to do too, is the show over? Is this an intermission? What time do we come back? Where do we park? Every time I come here I see advertised another great show, top class acts too, up close.
The Shed institute is the best theater. It has very comfortable seats and has a huge stage. I went to the Matt Kearney concert there and had a great time. It's really hot in there with the seats because I dressed very warmly. I would advise not dressing warmly. It seats a lot of people and easy to find rows. There is paid parking nearby about a block or 2 away and also some parking very close. It has a very nice waiting area where they offer free drinks. I like sitting high up so I would advise seating in the middle row and upper section.
