It definitely put me in the holiday 'mood' and has an uplifting ending! The story rapidly progresses and the time just flew by, even though it was two hours long! :) Over the years I have been to 2nd Space Theatre multiple times and each performance that I have been fortunate to attend, has been top-notch! Usually PERFECTLY cast too! The plays that they choose to perform are family friendly, which is why I like to support them. It is a small theater, but that's the beauty of it. The creativity with props, lighting and costumes never ceases to amaze me. For what they have to work with, it's amazing what they can pull off. This is the first time I have gone, where they have offered us SEAT CUSHIONS! I recommend them too! Guess why! ;) At intermission, they sell a variety of candy bars, water, cookies, coffee, and cocoa. All of it is about two dollars each. You cannot take food or drinks into the theater, with the exception of bottled water. You can park directly across the street in the east side of the Dollar Tree parking lot, or near the Chinese restaurant / Health food store area and walk east. I consider what they offer our city as a 'gift'. Fresno truly has some GREAT local talent!

Not to mention that it is one of the most debated means of impressing the opposite sex especially in the form of exotic dancing. However, most of all it is just dancing and arguably the best way to blow off some steam. Either in night clubs or ballrooms people have been dancing for countless years. While most of them just trust their instincts and dance the way that feels best, many chose to do it right and learn how to. Every city, town or village that respects itself has a school teaching people how to dance. Two ballroom champions decided to offer their knowledge to the inhabitants of Fresno, Clovis, Madera, Visalia and Kerman in California. They have over 15 years of experience to be taken advantage of while the rates are considered as the most competitive available.

The food was flavorful, and the portions were just right for each plate we were served. I have a few cocktails because they were a must. Dinner starts around 6pm, it states to be there by 5:30pm so you can get in and get seated, and I highly recommend getting there right when they open so you can get seats facing the stage, you do have assigned tables. The staff all around are so nice, they are quick, they are efficient and deserve to get tipped, because they work really hard for it. I do like this space because it's pretty good inside, and they have plenty of seating, they are also ADA compliant as well. They also put on the best performances, they do have season passes where you can pick which shows you'd like to see. If you like musical theater then you will enjoy and love coming here.

My wife and I went with a group this past week, not knowing what the play would be,…read moreand not really caring because we have thoroughly enjoyed all the plays we have seen there over the years. THE FOOD.... I ordered the Red Wine Short Ribs braised in water. They were boneless and served with mashed potatoes, gravy and honey glazed carrots. The carrots were delicious. The rib meat was waaay over braised. Mushy, like pot roast which has been over cooked. The only part that had any bite to it was the connective tissue which apparently does not break down during braising. There was zero flavor left in the meat. And not a hint of seasoning. I always season and smoke mine low and slow till about160 degrees and then braise them, until probe tender. I add more seasoning when done. I expected the rib meat to be on a bone. That's what makes a rib a rib. The mashed potatoes were... well... mashed potatoes. The gravy was canned or made to imitate canned. Others in my group stated similarities of their "ribs" meals. Did I mention that the carrots were delicious? YES! And except for them, the meal would have been a total miss. My wife chose the salmon dish. It was nothing special. Others spoke of their meals of Chicken Cordon bleu very positively. THE PLAY: "Something Rotten", a play that I had not previously heard about was really not my style. The story line was interesting, but there were a bit of crude risqué lines here and there and some slight comically negative slams against God, which I thought was in very poor taste and totally unnecessary. On a more positive note, the stage was filled with talent! The acting, singing, and dancing were excellent throughout. The room was extremely cold, apparently with AC running to keep the cast cool in their heavy period costumes. I will probably be much more attentive to play content and food prep if I ever go again.

Anywho, the dude and I live around the corner from this place in which we arrived about 10 minutes before the show started. We got to pick our seats in which we sat in front and as those were the only seats available. It was a full house except for the front roll. The night we went was the first showing and surprisingly they didn't have any technical difficulties at the first show. My first time at this Clovis theatre and it was a pleasant experience. They had a red or pink carpet you could take pictures on. Entering the theater was very clean. The show was good on the border of not being family friendly as they had suggestive outfits and jokes I didn't feel was suitable for kids. The props were good and the acting...some acting didn't look natural but then again it must be hard work or a lot of people would be in such field. I would cringe as a lot of kids where present but mostly adults. I had a blast here and you can tell the cast enjoyed what they would do. They even got the audience involved at someone point. Definitely looking to see what more this theater has to offer.

This venue is obviously sketchy as hell & I would warn any local or touring bands to stay away... ALSO: I read another review that included allegations of SA & the venue hasn't even responded to THAT review so I doubt I'm going to hear back from the Tower Theatre or the offshoot Lounge (which is actually what I'm reviewing) $1 service fee on a $15 CASH cover for a show with FOUR LOCAL BANDS is insane. $2 bottled water with no option for free hydration at a place with a full bar IS INSANELY IRRESPONSIBLE. NO ins & outs except behind a tiny stanchion rope is A FIRE HAZARD AT MOST... & inconvenient as hell at the very least... also why are there no ins & outs AT A 21+ VENUE?! Are we in high school?! Honestly at times? It sure felt like it... especially when it comes to my next point: Criminally limited places to sit AT AN INDIE SHOW LOLLLLL.... There were exactly TWO tables & ONE chair.... yikes. This was a room full 50+ year olds... give them a damn chair? Flyer-ed for $12 adv & $15 door... I was expecting to pay $30 EVEN to the super RUDE door lady... alas.... I was told there was a service fee... on not ONE... but both $15 covers. Excuse me, what? I've gone to a lot of shows in my day... this is by far the worst venue I have ever visited. There as a sign on the bathroom (see photo lol... I'm not even joking) that read: "NO CELL PHONES, TEXTING, TWEETING, HECKLING, TALKING, CAMERAS, RECORDING DEVICES OF ANY KIND during the Show VIOLATORS WILL BE EJECTED NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN Thank You For Your Cooperation!" ARE KIDDING ME? Might as well have a sign that says "hi, we are the fresno tower theatre lounge & you will NOT have fun in here because you aren't allowed to, FUN costs $5 more plus a service fee of $11" OH BY THE WAY... like I said earlier about going to a lot of shows in my day? 1 guest spot per person in the band is fine... BUT NO DRINK TICKETS IS INSANE! My friend in the HEADLINING BAND had to pay $3 for a soda... his band was the ONLY reason your shitty venue even had people in there on a Sunday night my guys!!!! Ways to make this venue not shitty: Don't be greedy with the ticket prices Don't be greedy with the water Don't be greedy with the beer Don't be greedy with the SEATING!?! Don't be greedy with the way you treat the bands Just.... don't be greedy. Oh also... you don't need *that* much security like ever.... but esp for an indie show on a Sunday night & maybe consider having a staff that doesn't look like they are getting paid under minimum wage... but considering everything else I know about this venue? Maybe they are getting paid under minimum wage lol...
