Ames Community Theater brings plays and musicals to the small college town casting Iowa State University students, music teachers, townies from inside and surrounding counties, and even sometimes casts local kids. Audition; it's fun and they find something to do for everyone! The building is accessible, seating is roomy, it's clean, they sell alcohol and often serve hors d'ouevres on opening and closing night, and the tickets prices haven't gone up in over a decade - $15/ticket for plays and $20/ticket for musicals. It's a nice space for anyone with a love for shows whether it's in volunteering your time and talents or as an audience member!

Let's hope they bring it back to what it once was and could easily become again. But above all, it's a basketball arena, and a fantastic one at that. Let's keep it loud and crazy. I've seen KISS in this venue, but I've heard it louder for basketball games.

In other words, it was a perfect summer escape movie that required no thought (other than why it got such good reviews). We paid a total of $13 for a discount matinee plus the concession "tax". The Theater itself remains in good shape (including comfortable seats and nice people who work here), and there were several other patrons watching the movie with us. That included a group of local lads, who kept on yacking, until Gayle nicely asked them to moderate their noise. I'm never quite sure what to do in those situations....
