This little theater has been one of my favorite places to see a concert. I've been here 4-5 times by now and I have to give it my highest recommendation. It's an intimate setting where you can get great seats without a sky high ticket price. There's a snack bar with booze you can take into the theater in a sippy cup. And some really good old theater style popcorn. That room is adjacent to the original theater and is actually an old diner. There's also a courtyard you can sit in if you arrive extra early and the weather is nice. The folks who volunteer here are super nice and helpful.
The line up of acts is mostly tribute bands, but I must say they are of the highest quality of musicians. I just saw the real thing, an incarnation of Emerson, Lake and Palmer which was the original drummer and founding member , Carl Palmer, with two very talented guitarist who accompanied him on the classic ELP songs. A video background with the original ELP played behind them. Not only were the two young musicians fantastic but at 76, Carl Palmer did a 10 minute drum solo that was mind blowing!
At my last visit there was a disruptive woman shouting in the back of the theater. So much so she was interrupting the performers. Security came and took her out much to the applause of the audience!
The other nice thing is easy access. No driving to Pittsburgh and paying ridiculous parking rates. And there are plenty of good restaurants around the area to dine in ahead of the show. You should try it out when you see one of their ads and there's a band you like playing there.
My only negative is that they don't support adding the tickets to a virtual wallet. You have to print out the ticket or go to the box office to get them. Maybe soon they will be able to update that. read more
