As others have mentioned, there truly is not a bad seat in the house. I came here with a friend to watch a medical themed mystery written by a local cardiologist, and we were even able to chat with him during intermission. The friendly gentleman manning the refreshment counter gave us a bit of background on several of the many cat pieces he'd procured to decorate the building. I can't wait to catch another performance here!

I recommend dining at one of the nearby restaurants before arriving. Parking is available in a lot behind the building. We will definitely be watching for upcoming plays.

The great thing about the Tarkington is that it's big enough to fit lots of people, but it feel intimate. There really isn't a bad seat in the theatre. I saw Cat in the Hat in one of the back rows and was able to see clearly, and I saw Elf in the front middle. It's a different experience depending on where you sit, obviously, but there isn't a bad seat. The Tarkington building is attached to the Center for the Performing Arts parking structure, so you can go straight from the parking area to the Tarkington. You don't have to walk outside through the courtyard, like you do if you're seeing a concert at the Palladium. There's a snack bar / drink bar that's open when the plays are going on. The bathrooms are always clean and open when the building is open, even if there isn't a performance happening.

I recently had the chance to check out the Carmel Symphony Orchestra during their annual holiday…read moreextravaganza that included special performances, the Indianapolis Ballet Conservatory, and a choir from Second Presbyterian Church in Indianapolis. The Carmel Symphony Orchestra is an 80-member fully professional Resident Orchestra of The Palladium at The Center for the Performing Arts. It was started in 1976 and Maestro David Commanday was just this week named their new conductor. It's scheduled to go through the 2024-2025 season minimally. The orchestra also holds the Young Artists Competition. The concert itself was exceptional. The orchestra sounded amazing and, of course, the Palladium is an excellent venue with tremendous acoustics and sound quality. The guest performances were beautifully coordinated, as well. The Carmel Symphony Orchestra is a non-profit organization and their various concerts reach about 50,000 people annually. In 2010, the symphony performed on Michael Feinstein's release "We Dreamed These Days" and has performed with quite a few greats throughout its existence and especially since establishing its relationship with the Center for the Performing Arts.

It definitely exceeded my expectations. Instead of digital tickets, you just give your name to the host at the door at they'll lead you to your seats. Your server will then bring your drinks. Unsweetened tea, lemonade, and coffee are all complimentary but they have sodas and alcoholic drinks for sale. They also have dessert available for $7 as well. They can deliver the dessert during intermission which was perfect. Our server Maria was super friendly and on top of things. But all the servers and bussers were on top of it. We saw Cinderella and it was awesome. It was close to the original but a little modernized in the best way. There was plenty of crowd interaction and the actors were all fantastic. The props were cool but the costumes were even better. They also had a live band playing the music. Our seats were on the side of the stage and I wasn't sure we'd have a good view but the actors moved around the floor a lot and there was a tv on the side as well showing what was happening as well. I already bought tickets to another show and my family is looking forward to it.

The buffet…read morewas decent, with roast beef, tilapia, and several vegetable options along with salad and all the all the toppings. My only complaint is that there were little to no vegan and gluten free options available, as my wife is gluten free and vegan. All she could eat was a zucchini and squash blend, some cucumbers with French dressing, and some fruit that was a little tart. The service of the wait staff was fantastic. Jasmine did a heck of a job taking care of us. Addressed any concerns and made sure we had a good experience. The dessert at intermission was really good. My wife had some strawberry sorbet (v and gf) and I had a strawberry sundae. Both had real strawberries in them and the ice cream I had was great. Overall, I give them 4/5 just because of the lack of vegan and gluten free items in the menu. Also, handicapped parking was nonexistent, and we ended up parking on the street next to the theatre.

We had a horrible experience at performers edge dance studio…read more My 3 year old daughter was tearing up in class due to the teacher being insanely strict about standing on a dot and not looking at herself in the mirror. The teacher then proceeded to say "NOPE. no we are not crying about this NO" when my daughters eyes started to well. I was uncomfortable with her being spoken to this way and I called for my daughter to come out into the lobby. There is no door on the studio and the entire space is very outdated so I could hear and see everything that happened. My daughter listened to me and safely and slowly started walking to me waiting in the lobby outside of the studio room. The teacher then said "no" to my daughter and grabbed her arm to drag her back to her dot which resulted in her falling. I repeatedly asked the teacher to stop and said "please give her to me". I had to pull my daughter from her. The studio condoned this behavior by saying it was appropriate for the situation. If you want your child to feel safe and develop a love of dance I would not recommend this studio. I have video footage of this situation that they sent me and would very much like to share with anyone curious and wanting to see as it will not allow me to attach videos to my review. I did not feel this was a safe or nurturing environment for my child and she was deeply disturbed by this teachers lack of respect towards children.

I thought, what's the harm. It's Tuesday. I'm off work. I'll try your lasagna sure. The lasagna was so cold. "Who made this cold lasagna?" I wanted to ask. But no one came back to check. I brought the lasagna home. I warmed it up myself. Not that bad, which is why I give it two stars. If it had been warm the first go I might give it three or maybe four. Five star lasagna isn't something you come across everyday. So don't be upset that I wouldn't consider it. The service was also not good. No menu. No silverware. Just one man who is offering lasagna. On the plus side, this place had a lot of parking and was warm enough inside. Unlike the lagasma. I will keep looking for a Tuesday lunch spot. Update: management has informed me this is not an Italy restaurant. They do not know lasanga man. I will give it 5 stars.
