Center Stage Theatre is a concert venue and I got to visit when I came to town for a concert. This…read morejust might be my favorite concert venue that I've ever been to for a more intimate show! I loved the layout of the theater, where it seemed like all seats were good seats. They had both floor tickets where it was standing room and then seating that looked kind of like colosseum or stadium seating. Although they had this seating, the place still felt intimate and really added to the ambiance of the concert. I also loved the layout of the lobby area where there were different entry points and a good space for the vendors to sell tour merch and several areas where they had mirrors that gave great photo ops or an area to check your outfit. Loved Center Stage Theatre!

As part of the Christmas festivities, I got tickets for my fiancée and me to see a rendition of…read moreCharles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. As someone who has acted before, I can say the issues we experienced were more on the production company than the venue itself. The main problem? Smoke. So much smoke. It was hard to breathe, my eyes were watering, and I'm a pretty tough guy--but my fiancée was really suffering. When I called to request a refund, I learned it wasn't just us. If you're going to use a fog machine, you need to disclose it ahead of time, especially for children, people with respiratory issues, or anyone sensitive to it. On top of that, there was a child crying during the performance. Instead of quietly and discreetly taking them outside, staff tried to address it in the middle of the show, which was distracting for everyone. That said, I do want to thank the venue for working with us to get a refund. The space itself is nice, and I'm open to returning for other productions in the future. Just a heads-up--the seating is very intimate, so be prepared to be close to your neighbors.

My wife and I loved ECHO!!!…read more We had been to a couple of their previous shows under the blue and white tent at Atlantic Station. And it's hard to compare. ECHO seemed more back to basics -- less gimmicks. The big change was that wee sat on the second row. The performers were literally near enough to touch. Wow. The show is great. The acts: jugglers, acrobats, gymnasts, slack line artists, clowns, catapult jumpers, trapeze artists, you name it -- are absolutely wonderful. A sense of wonderment comes over you as if you are a child again. The sound system is terrific and the live musicians and vocalists are impressive. The seats are a bit tight but perfectly fine for the duration of the show. Food is of course expensive as are all of the momentos for purchase. But you're at the most fabulous circus you've ever seen. My only complaint -- and it's out of the control of Cirque -- is exiting the Atlantic Station parking garage. Very slow. The stations to pay the parking fees didn't work so people had to pay one at a time at the actual exit. Miami, ECHO opens there February 22. Don't miss it.

A++ for organization. It was a bt crowded, as any free event will draw a huge crowd. We enjoyed the musical petting zoo and art station at the High Museum.

I came here with my best friends to celebrate my birthday, my friend's birthday, my other friends newly published devotional and my other friend's promotion at work. This was probably my 4th time here. Parking is behind the building and they have a ton of spots with gravel parking and paved (directions might lead you to the front). The lobby has two rooms, with comfy seating, restrooms, bar (beer and wine), ticket area and a place to take group photos. Things have changed on seating here due to Covid but for the better. You can now buy a table for two, table for 4 and VIP seating. Cost ranges from $70-$90, but comes out to about $20-$45/person. Any table purchase you make comes with all the tickets. Most shows are about an hour and a half long, with one intermission for you to use the bathroom or grab drinks. A majority of the improv depends on participation from the audience, so be ready to give direction on what the skit will be like. One of the best portions of the show was when my friend Keni got asked about her Hot Air Balloon she did recently, and the Improv Actors did a "fortunately, unfortunately" sketch on it. One of the funniest things I've seen. It's always a great time when you go, and you're going to get something fairly new and unexpected every time. Some actors are much more entertaining too, as they can create comedy out of thin air. They also hold Improv classes for adults and work with children too (the host mentioned something Nickelodeon themed). Highly recommend! This was purely a friends outing, but this spot is perfect for dates too or any type of celebration.

There was also a bucket next to a question for written answers. Once the show started, saw some improv games I've never seen before, actors / actresses were pretty good.

The little Hipster sibling to the Type A theater upstairs!…read more First visit last night. Cool space. Very intimate and "close" - I get a wee bit claustrophobic and generally eye an escape route in any group setting, so it was a little tight for me. Staff is just as friendly and helpful as upstairs, based on my experience last month at another show, and on folks like the gentleman who helped me last night when my friend was running late (and texts are unreliable down there so I didn't know how soon she'd make it); he held her ticket at the door so I could go ahead in - note, this is also because they don't allow late seating. Go early if you prefer higher up seating as I do - we got stuck with front row which I find makes it hard to get a "full" perspective of any show or movie. The play itself wasn't as great as I expected but they do often have "after show" kind of things like the comedy improv that followed last night. Definitely a spot I will visit again and look forward to getting to know better.

There was an undeniable stench of marijuana throughout the place upon our entry and a puddle of water on the stairs leading to the basement. The bar is also located downstairs next to the room with the stage. There are a few tables scattered throughout but mostly stand alone chairs. There were about 8 comics total, ranging from funny to raunchy. Some I could relate to, some very hard to understand due to ghetto accents and slang. Overall not a bad show but we would have not ended up here if laughing skull hasn't sold out. Don't sit out front if you don't want to be picked on/made fun of.

I took a class here at Automatic Improv, and to say I felt immediately part of the family is an understatement. They are classy, funny, smart and entrepreneurial as somewhat of an upstart in Atlanta's improv field. During my graduation show I got to do a scene with Kevin where we were bouncers from New Jersey. THAT was a dream come true. ;) Follow the news on this company because they're gonna come back meaner, leaner and stronger than ever very soon.

I read everything on the website regarding pricing before sending an email. Paul was amazing at responding to my emails. Very professional, helpful and fast! We left a deposit and that was it. We were booked Lol We confirmed the guest counts days before the party and we were set. Nonetheless, the big day came and the performers were so helpful with set up and clean up. They didn't know what they were doing with the decor - some things were damaged - but they were very helpful and kind. It was all honest mistakes. And they were apologetic. The performers and Paul kept the kids busy the entire time we were there. They were patient, attentive and organized with all of the different ages we had there(2-10). We paid for a lot but it was worth it. We opted for face painting, balloon twisting, unicorn character rental, extra performer(we had a fire breather, stilt walker & juggler), the balloon drop(which was "wow" for the kids AND the parents) and additional kids to attend. There was a large projector on the back wall playing kids bop music videos. We did the circus party. We opted for this because there was a zip line, trapeze, high swing and aerial silks from the ceiling. It was definitely a lot to cram into 2 hours-- but it was so worth it. Paul and his team did an amazing job. I'll post some professional photos so you can see the space was HUGE. We had 19kids and 25adults, it was awesome. We received so many compliments on the CLEANLINESS of the facility and PROFESSIONALISM of Paul. I can not give enough praise for Buck's Sport Barn. That was definitely a 5th birthday party to remember. With the tip we left behind haha! There is a summer camp they advertised as well. We'll definitely look into that this year. This was an amazing place that deserves an amazing review. Thank you to Paul and his performers
