Sunshine Theater

"This place is truly awful. Way too many tickets are sold for such a small venue. If you’re having problems breathing or feeling anxious, the staff will you “sucks huh?” and send you through the crowd again to get out and won’t let you walk past the 21 seats if you’re not 21. I understand what they’re trying to do, but at least make expectations for the people who come out of the mosh pit hurt. Staff literally will not let anyone exit through the 21 area, no matter what. A girl was bleeding and still they sent her to go through the overpacked theater to find her way out. And to make it worse, three grown staff members started yelling at this girl putting their fingers in her face and practically spitting on her all because she was hurt and just wanted to leave the pit. And if somehow you do make it out of the show room, you can’t get fresh air unless you’re waiting for someone. If you’re not waiting for someone they make you go back in the overcrowded room. Seriously the worst venue ever, if I could give 0 stars I would."

"Absolutely amazing. Was upstairs and still had a phenomenal view. The acoustics were perfect for sound quality. Just a great evening and experience! Will most definitely go to another concert there!!!"

"Great venue, great mix of shows. Clean and comfortable inside, doesn’t have the stench of stale booze and vomit like ask the spots downtown used to. Security does a great job keeping everyone safe, but staying invisible when not needed. Amazing how fast they clear out and clean up after the show. Obvious improvements over how it used to be."

"I had never been to this venue. I got tickets and invited a friend. We looked up the seating chart and found there was a mezzanine, so we planned to aim for that because I have a bad knee. When we arrived, the line was moving quickly even though it wrapped a third around the building. They did not allow me to take in my water bottle, so I had to discard it. We went in, and the signage was a bit lacking. Nobody could tell me how to get up to the mezzanine, and the bathrooms are upstairs - narrow and steep stairs. We found out no seating was allowed upstairs. So there were probably 2 dozen tables scattered around, and they had all been claimed when we finally arrived. After grabbing a drink at the bar, we found a couple of ladies willing to share their table, and we ended up center stage behind the sound team. It was great! The floors were extremely sticky to the point I had to struggle to move the stool. The stools are metal with no backs and the tables are round and maybe seat 4, but they were very close together and the lady behind me complained that I was in her space, eventhough I was trying to remain as far away as possible. There were maybe 3 inches between our stools, and it was unavoidable. The sound was awesome, I loved the atmosphere. The cooling system finally started working about 8pm, and it was much more tolerable than before. There was a decent sized dance floor, but there were so many people, it was difficult to fance at all. The building has an amazing Baroque style stained glass window and boasts a true disco ball! I would attend more events here if they were to open the mezzanine."
