The theater seats about a 100 very comfortably. The seats are well padded and spacious. The lighting and acoustics are both very passable. The sound system lacks a bit.

The refreshments during intermission could be a little better (like better beer) but the prices are reasonable. The space in the lobby and outside are very pleasant and a nice place to stretch the ol' getaway sticks.

It is also a theatre where every seat is good (unless very tall people sit in front of you) and sound is excellent. We've seen many shows here and find the paid and volunteer staff welcoming and helpful. The bathroom situation is similar to other places in that they have several places to go, but it can be a lengthy wait if more women than men attend the event. Men always seem to be much more quick! Our latest outing here was for ONE NIGHT OF QUEEN. It was louder than we wanted (Apple Watch went off many times warning of hearing loss). The light show was amazing. The musical side was good, but not spectacular (why could we not understand what they were singing for the first 4 obscure Queen songs?). We look forward to attending more events here.

It's small and intimate (probably less than 200 seats) which allows the audience to connect with the performers.

The theatre is location on the second floor and has a service area where you can purchase beer, wine, and even liquor before a performance or during intermission. The theatre is currently requiring guests to show vaccination and wear masks during the show.

They also care about their equipment and the experience of their guests. I have not had a bad experience here yet. The first Sunday of every month, they host Toddlerdega, or an event where you can bring your own power wheels vehicle and younger kids can drive around the track. The event is from 9-11 am. The cost is $5 per driver and if you need to rent a power wheel for the day, it's an additional $20 for the session. The kids have such a great time and the other parents who attend have all been nice to meet. This is a good time to meet other parents with kids the same age (it's so hard as an adult to meet new people). Towards the end of the session, all of the kids can line up and participate in a grand prix. Recently, there's been so many participants that they've been racing kids by category. It's nice for a place to be so accommodating to toddlers. Our friends are planning a birthday party there. I'm excited to see what the experience will be like.

The karts here are well maintained with great track layout. The karts are gas-powered and very easy to speed on the track. During our time riding, we really enjoyed the variety. The track boasts a mix of turns and straight stretches, providing plenty of opportunities for overtaking. The staff is very friendly, and the karts are great. ProKarting is a fantastic spot for family fun, and it's a great place to celebrate special occasions as well.

A little bit of hippie heaven on the 1st, 7th, 11th and 22nd of each month in good old Gulfport. Special dates may also be called for special occasions. Truly life and art intertwined in a psychedelic mixture of music, socializing, sculpture, painting, performance art and peace-making. A backyard here is transformed into a fantasy world of "sharevival" values, prizing creativity, fantasy and the best old chairs and car seats that can be saved from an untimely death at the landfill. Plus opportunities (each Saturday, for instance) to pitch in and help your brothers and sisters keep on keepin' on with volunteer work/creation days. It's a happening that defies description but can change and inspire you. read more
