Located on the 1st floor of SCAD Atlanta's FORTY FIVE residence hall, SCADshow is a gorgeous venue with "two state of the art theaters, a 700 seat main stage and intimate 130-seat space equipped with industry-leading projection & sound production technology." Stylish & comfortable, there are 4 floors and several chic lounge areas.

VENUE/EXPERIENCE
Comfortable and eye-catching, SCADshow is a date worthy experience with several trendy lounge areas. There are clear views even from the balcony! The staff is cordial, seating is adequate, with excellent sound! Unfortunately our experience was repeatedly interrupted by an employee shining a flashlight in each row looking for empty seats..
CONCESSIONS
Go the the 2nd floor for a limited selection of affordable Smart water and soft drinks ($3), candy ($4) and a small box of freshly popped dry, unsalted popcorn ($4).
SUM
I recommend SCADshow for its comfort, style, and viewing experience. I'll see you there! read more
