Reviews
"Great space but lots of obstructed view seats the times we have been."
"We went here for a field trip, and it was cute, and the girls seemed to really like it.. Little Mermaid play was fun to watch. It's nice seeing young people with the confidence to be up there and having fun."
"I have seen, and been a part of, many productions here over the years and it's absolutely one of my favorite live theater venues. The stage layout lends itself to being immersive and the arrangement is such that there's not a bad seat in the house."
"We've been having a heat wave and although the lobby temperature was fine, in the theater it was too warm and wearing a mask made for difficult breathing. However, the theater is beautiful with comfortable seating, wide aisles and good viewing from everywhere. I would certainly go again after repair of air conditioning."
"Goppert Theatre has comfortable seating. It also features and a spacious stage and lobby. The men and women's restrooms are conveniently located and very clean. The acoustics in the theatre were good. The aisle comfortably supports two individuals side-by-side walking up or down the stairs."
