"A fantastic venue for a wide range of delights. The bartenders are stellar, the seats are comfy and the techs know their stuff. Support local arts!"
"I was hoping the Arts Center would have been a more vibrant establishment! It has very limited hours as well as class offerings. I had expected Durango to have a more active arts facility."
"We saw a flyer for "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare abridged" while we were out to eat one evening and thought hmmm, sounds fun. It was way better than fun — we laughed the whole performance! Shakespeare in football was positively brilliant! Brian Devine, Geoff Johnson, and Jason Lythgoe are super talented. Durango is so lucky to have this Arts Center, we look forward to our next visit!"
"We love this place! Small, intimate, black box setting with snacks and bar. They never disappoint. We can count on a lot of laughs from their comedy shows"
"So nice to have a venue for live theatrical performances. This venue is minimal in size and viewing from small tables and chairs makes for crowding and obscured viewing of the stage. Love the high quality productions, but this facility does not do them justice."
