There's even a rooftop lounge. There's plenty of public lots and street parking nearby, which makes getting in and out easy. There's never trouble finding parking during evening events. The theater is located downtown near some great restaurants and places to grab drinks. The concessions are simple and reasonably priced. The staff members are friendly and welcoming. They offer a variety of live events, films, comedy shows, and concerts. Check their website for upcoming events. Looking forward to returning for a comedy show.

The highlight of my day was sitting on Santa's lap, something I had never done as a kid! Next to that would be the amazing performances! This was a really fun 2-day event for the community. The best part was, it was free! They have a theater where you can purchase tickets to attend musicals such as The Nutcracker. I'll have to check them out one of these days. There's a large private parking lot with free parking, which makes it very convenient to attend events here.

Whether you're attending a live concert in the concert hall, a theatrical production in the intimate theater, or exploring the rotating exhibits in the museum, every experience feels thoughtfully curated. The grounds are relatively clean and well-maintained, with stunning fountains, sculptures, and plenty of space to stroll before a show. (While it's hard to control outdoor debris at times, the staff does a great job keeping things tidy.) The staff is always professional, welcoming, and helpful, whether you're picking up tickets, visiting the museum, or attending a performance. Parking is free and convenient, and the location is within walking distance of several great restaurants if you want to make a full evening of it. The Center also hosts some free community events, dance lessons, art festivals, and cultural celebrations throughout the year, making it a true gathering place for all ages. I highly recommend checking their calendar regularly, you're likely to find something that speaks to you! The Center has two excellent performance spaces: the 400 or so-seat Center Theater and the 1,500 or so-seat Concert Hall, both known for their outstanding acoustics. I've enjoyed live country concerts like Dwight Yoakam and Lee Brice here. I also recently attended the Shen Yun production and a performance by the ATLYS Quartet. Overall, the venues are intimate and offer a wonderful way to experience live entertainment. I highly recommend it and only wish they had more upcoming concerts.

They have a little mini concessions with extremely reasonable prices and a great selection of sodas, chips, candy, and some yummy baked goodies. Walking into the theater you quickly see that there's not a bad seat in the house. These are the most comfortable cushion seats that can recline a bit and there are drink holders for the ice cold drinks from the concessions. This theater is small and intimate, but the show is big! Beautiful voices, beautiful music played live by a band, great lighting, and you feel every emotion these phenomenal actors portray. There's a selection of restaurants in the immediate area for a bite to eat before this amazing show. So glad to have found this gem and will definitely be back to see their future performances!

I am so glad to see that they have their own theater now so they can do more for our community. In the beginning when my girls wanted to participate in something such as this and on this level, as a father I was very worried because you hear horror stories about crazy people or creepers in this feild but over years the family that runs this program has always been professionals who want to teach and share their talents with the next generation. Over the years I have witnessed the owners go out of their way to offer a helping hand to young people trying to get a start in this business... Now that my children are grown up adults I am glad that they both the opportunities given to them by this theater group.... Thank You Star

We have been there for bands, magic shows, seasonal shows etc. and have not been disappointed. The featured cover bands are the best! Anyway, walking into the theater is like walking into someone's home. The staff treats you like family! It is the complete OPPOSITE of all the stressful hoops you have to jump through at a large arena style event. The lobby is quite comfortable and has a lot of artifacts showing the amazing history of the resort. Will probably take a few visits to go through it all. One last thing. They made an error on their schedule which resulted in me having tickets on two different dates of the same event. Rather than send an email, they personally called me and gave me options that quickly resolved the issue! Although we've been guests at Welk's Theater for just over a year, I sure wish I had known about them sooner...
