"I genuinely wanted to love this place. I went a few times to see a show and unfortunately the service was consistently poor. First, they stress no food/drinks are allowed in the theatre. At my first show the woman manager/announcer actually singled out an elderly woman and took her bottled water away. I was floored! They will have a 10 min intermission with a concession stand but again you must purchase and eat it outside before the 10 minutes are over. What really baffles me was a couple times they had a brunch theater or dinner theater (so now people are eating inside), but they make the general audience wait until people are finished eating to start the show. Both times the show started over 30 min late. If it's a brunch/dinner theatre why not allow people to eat during the show? That's part of the experience. They're very unorganized from the minute you walk in, getting your tickets, being seated and throughout the show. Not one show I saw, didn't have mic or lighting issues. They rely on the elderly crowds that come in yet are not attentive to them. I brought my mother once and was told there's no senior citizen discount (most likely because that's all that seems to attend the shows). During the show right after intermission they shut the lights out while people are still trying to get to their seats. I actually utilized my cell phone flashlight to help 3 people get back to their seat while the usher approached me to put it away rather than assist them. One of the shows a woman was upset about the poor communication; we were left waiting outside even though the show should have started already and she said it perfectly, "you get what you pay for, this sure ain't Broadway." I just couldn't say it any better. Even in Broadway you're permitted food and drinks and they are 10 times more assistive... it's part of enjoying a show. They announced they're celebrating 50 years- if they dont change a lot of the way they handle things, get organized, renovate a little, advertise more and more importantly treat their audience better, I can't see another 50 in the future."
