The food is not worth it but the play might be. The Brisket patty was no better than ground chuck,…read morethe green beans were cheap frozen tasteless, the salad course consisted of half a dozen slices of carrot in a cold sauce, meh. The potatoes were good about a ice cream scoops worth. The chocolate pudding was cafeteria quality at best. We enjoyed the play but there was a cast of three. The worst thing is when you pick your seats on the website they're not going to be the ones you picked. It's first come pick your seat at each table. Had I known that I would not have bought tickets.

My family and I came to the Fort Wayne Civic Theatre about a month ago. It was my mothers birthday…read moreand I got tickets for all of us as a birthday gift for her. We drove to Fort Wayne hoping to watch good theatre. The Civic Theatre is part of a larger complex called Arts United center which has a philharmonic, art exhibits and other cultural venues. The staff is friendly and helpful. The lines in will call are practically non-existent. The lines in the ticket booth are not much larger. There are certainly some negatives 1) No valet parking. Parking is also a rather long walk from theatre. I am used to theaters with either valet parking or at worst a nearby parking lot. May not be a problem for me, but my mother is older and she does have problems walking long distances. Several other patrons were also in the same situation. The nearest parking garage is several blocks away. 2) the seats are narrow and a bit uncomfortable. The narrowness didn't bother me, but my brother is larger and it was a tight fit for him. Not a lot of cushion on the seat though 3) The decor is a bit spartan compared to other theaters I have been to. 4) No alcohol sold either before the play or during intermission. They do sell sodas/pop and small snacks. I still believe though that even with these negatives, it is worth coming. The play was entertaining and well acted. My mother loved her birthday gift. Whats better than that?

Very nice facility for music education and performances. The outside is very attractive. They did…read morea nice job turning Pearl Street into a place Fort Wayne can be proud of. Parking is always a concern downtown. The Pearl provides free parking in the large lot west of the facility. There are several other parking garages in the area if you prefer. The team was very welcoming and glad to have us as their guests. Booking a reservation was easy on line. On this occasion we went to a free program. They seem to have a free program about every three months for those looking for things to do on a budget. The performance area seats about 400-500 people in padded chairs. The chairs are all on the same flat level. The stage is nicely elevated so viewing isn't a problem. I found the chairs to be thin on padding and somewhat uncomfortable for a 90 minute performance. The lighting is well done. The acoustics are superb as well.

I brought my brother and mother with me to watch it, as my family's origins are from Spain and we were excited to see a ballet based on Don Quixote. I will see the Pearl Street Arts Center is beautiful. I laughed and loved that they called their box office, the bach's office. I also read about them before I came in and how they have art and entrepreneurial classes. Since the civic theatre has been out of commission due to renovations I know that the ballet company has been doing shows in different venues. I do not feel comfortable leaving a bad review for the ballet on Pearl Street Arts Center since I do not think they are responsible, so will be doing a separate review of the ballet. I will say, that the little time I spent inside Pearl Street Arts Center, I was captivated by the beauty within it.

I recently went to micro wrestling, and it was horrible. The doors opened at 6:30, but the event didn't start until 9. People were falling asleep. Tickets were twice the price as last year. Regular beer is $9.00. They won't let you go to Bobby McGee's like before. There was a guy downing Budweisers, and he was intoxicated by 9:00. He was acting stupidly. He paid for regular seats but kept coming up front, recording, screaming, and getting in the way of the wrestlers, and security never said a thing to him. He was ruining my time, others', and the show! We left early! What a waste of money and time. We will never go back to Piers!!!!!!
