This was a very small space attached to a junior high school. It was the first time this location was used for a dance competition. They did not have adequate facilities for the boys to have a reasonable dressing room, and it was difficult for our team to get together as a group to practice because there was no path for our male dancers to get to the team without walking through a girls dressing room. They did work with us to make a path in a hallway of the school, but they did not want the school to be accessed by the dance competition people. There was not enough room for the families to sit when they were helping their dancers in between dances with dressing changes and hair fix and that sort of thing. The lobby is extremely tiny. The auditorium itself was very clean and new. The backstage area was extremely small; it was extremely difficult to construct the prop and get it on and off the stage in a timely fashion. I'm sure it is a lovely and adequate facility for smaller events, but for a large event with lots of people and lots of equipment it was barely adequate. The school janitors and staff deserve a raise! There were at least two people from the school who were there when we were checking in at 7 a.m., and had to be the cleanup and closing crew and the competition didn't get over until nearly 9 at night. They should have had shift so that other workers were coming in so that those people could go home. I'm sure they were exhausted. All in all we had a good experience but the facilities were not adequate to the event.

Nice facility but they need to perform some maintenance on their handicap access door on the North side since it doesn't open when pressing the button.

World-class theater in an unexpected location. Venue appears to be able to accommodate most traveling music and play productions.
