(As a matter of fact, I'd rather sit in the balcony than in the floor. It has a great view of the stage.) The seats are comfortable and spacious. It's easy to find your seat and get down the aisles. The sound system and lights are great. The only drawback is the small lobby. If it's a well attended show you have to wait in line for concessions for a really long time. Overall, this is a great venue.

The seats are tiered so it appears that there isn't a bad seat in the house. We sat in row 2 toward the middle. Seats are very comfortable.

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.

Our foodie group went to Mud Creek Players one Saturday afternoon after brunch to see the play "I…read morelove you, you're perfect . . .now change." This was my first time coming here to see a play, so I was looking forward to the performance. It has been a long time since I have seen a play at a local community theater, so this was a treat for me. The play did not disappoint me at all. The actors did a wonderful job with the performance. The play is based on a Broadway musical, and it had a little bit of everything from singing to acting with different skits throughout the play. I was laughing and even crying a little bit throughout the play. Mud Creek Players is a great venue in Indianapolis that offers community theater plays and sketches for entertainment. The interior is definitely like an old style stage and theater with a concession stand in the front. All proceeds from the concession stand sales go towards a foundation for the theater. It is a very nice venue and the staff are wonderful and friendly. The play was excellent and entertaining like I said earlier, and it was worth the ticket price of $20. I'm glad I was able to see a play here at Mud Creek Players, and will definitely come back here again to see a play because it was great entertainment for a Saturday afternoon. So glad Indy has culture available to us!

Enjoyable outdoor version of Alice in Wonderland. The large cast did an awesome job considering…read morethe limitations of having to move/remove props themselves as the action progresses. The audience was seated either at tables or were free to sit on the grass. Several groups brought blankets to spread out with some bringing food to eat while they watched the performance. It was a great low key performance. Although tickets were free they did need to be reserved in advance. And donations are accepted which I didn't realize until a friend noticed a small sign and basket on the way out. So if you go and enjoy the performance I'm sure donations are most welcome.

LOVE Broadway in Indy, but I want to offer a warning regarding Clowes, specifically the box seats…read more Previously Clowes was our favorite venue for Broadway in Indy. We have box seats but they recently "upgraded" the boxes. The "upgrades" on the seats have ruined the experience almost completely. They added plexiglass at the railing between the viewer and the stage so that you get a glare from the walkway lighting. But the bigger issue is that the seams and top of the plexiglass prefectly obscure/block your line of sight to the stage. On our side of the theater (left), you either have to lean over and bend down to the right to see below the top and to the side of the seam OR lean over and almost stand up to the left to see over the top and around the seam. And then there is the fact that you are a live event and having to watch it through a window, which renders the live experience moot. It's horrible, so much so that I'm glad we only have two more shows there this season. If you are attending any events at Clowes, absolutely do NOT buy a seat in a box. They are among the most expensive tickets and are now basically obstructed view seats not anywhere near worth the money you're going to pay. I am not sure what engineer or architect thought this plan was a good one, but I feel confident they never watched a show with the present setup. If I want to watch an event through plexiglass I'll watch hockey. If we renew our Broadway tickets next year, we'll be moving to different seats if the setup is the same, but this has actually made us question renewing at all.

*Round of applause for Broadway in Indianapolis!* I can't thank you enough for bringing such…read moreinsanely professional talent to our city. I've been blessed to see Les Mis, The Lion King and School of Rock, all of which, were completely life-changing. Seriously! The set in Les Mis was beyond stellar, the costumes in The Lion King were creative beyond belief, and the children in School of Rock were nonstop the whole show - playing their own instruments and doing stellar choreography. (By the end of School of Rock, the whole audience was clapping to the beat and laughing with their rows - so fun). For a Broadway show, the prices are good. No, they're not cheap, but the talent, staging, costumes and more that you'll be witnessing deserves the ticket prices. PS: Drinks/concessions will be expensive so eat before you go!

For years, Shelton Auditorium was home to the Repertory Theatre at CTS (Christian Theological…read moreSeminary). Over time, that live theater company would become known as Edyvean Repertory Theater. These days, the Christian Theological Seminary continues in the building that now is under the Butler University umbrella and this theater falls under the Butler Arts Center. It continues to host a wide variety of events throughout the year. Shelton Auditorium has nearly 400 seats in the Greek-style tradition. The building itself is mid-century pre-Gothic and was designed by Edward Larrabee Barnes. It opened in 1966. In most ways, Shelton is very accessible. There's a nicely done parking lot (free parking) and multiple accessible spots. There's a nicely done concrete ramp into the entrance. The theater itself is accessible, though Greek-style has always been one of my least favorite designs as it typically means I'm sitting at the top (think Beef & Boards, though this one is more accessible). A major plus here is that the stage itself is accessible (as someone who was a theater minor, this matters to me). I've actually performed on this stage - I think it was probably 35 years ago in the play Whose Life Is It Anyway?). I think this is one of Indy's unsung stages. It's a solid mid-range stage that won't necessarily draw A-listers or B-listers because of its size, however, it is awesome more intimate shows, lectures, regional comedy, local/regional theatrical troupes and more. The acoustics are wonderful, employees/volunteers always friendly, and the atmosphere feels consistent with its seminary roots. Grateful I got back to the Shelton for a holiday show. It reminded me how much I love this place and how much I need to be a more frequent guest.

I had blocked off my calendar for 7-11 PM for August 19th, but never checked to see what show I had purchased tickets for when the day came I had assumed I purchased tickets to the 7 PM show so we could have dinner at Chatham like we normally do after a Butler event, but it turns out I purchased tickets to the 9:30 PM showing so we could eat dinner BEFORE the show. Super embarrassing, but the staff were all so friendly and understanding. They had even asked if we wanted to just stay for the 7 PM showing since we were already there, but we decided to go to dinner since we knew we had good seats for our actual time slot and didn't want to risk getting seated somewhere further away. The auditorium is gorgeous! We had thought all of the event spaces for Butler were all near each other since we had never been to the Shelton Auditorium before, but it's about 5 minutes away from the other ones. The show was so fun, and again all of the staff were so nice, and they had a concessions just outside the entrance to the auditorium with additional bars on either side before you walked down to your seats, so there was never a wait. It was such a cozy feel and the acoustics were great. Can't wait to come back!

Every attention to detail was seen in the costumes, the set was awesome, the actors were flawless with beautiful voices, and a wonderful live orchestra provided the music.

Very reasonable priced refreshments are available for purchase and there is plenty of parking. Keep an eye out for the entrance sign, it's tricky to spot. I have been here 50 times over the years for various shows, including some plays that my granddaughters have been in, and have volunteered to usher. The local talent is always top notch.

I went to see Little Women musical and the cast did a wonderful job. Even though I have seen the story many times I was still drawn in to the story. The actors played their parts well and left me laughing several times. I followed my GPS to take me there and once I got off the interstate I noticed a few small signs to direct me further. Make sure you pay attention to where the turn is into the Theater. There is a sign, but my GPS did want to take me a tad further on the road. The building sits alone and just looks like a warehouse. There was plenty of parking and no traffic to get there. The surroundings inside were comfortable as well. They do have a small selection of snacks if you want some thing to munch on during the performance. The seats were comfortable and they offered one intermission. The cost of the performance was $20 which was very reasonable. You can purchase your ticket online and show them your ticket electronically. When I arrived at the ticket counter they were very organized and I just had to give them my name. This was their 48th season in production and it appears like they perform Six shows in the season. I will definitely be bookmarking this place to go back for the next season
