The atmosphere and seating makes this an ideal setting for a show or opera. It's comfortable and relaxing.

We go there every summer at least once to take in a children's theater experience. They offer comedy, plays, musicals, puppetry, juggling, light shows.

We recently attended a concert and I was blown away. First, it is a beautiful place. I know it has been restored but I was not expecting the gorgeous place we found ourselves in.

Great staff and a great place to see a show. Accoustically perfect. I don't have anything else to say but they make you type 100 characters.

Saw Kathleen Madigan. The venue is small, but very nice. Good restroom facilities, coat check, beverages and snacks. Parquet Circle seating was close to stage, but off to the side. Will see more shows there!

It is royal, lovely architecture, old world and a must see for musicals, shows and gala events. Located in downtown Wilmington and near the Hotel DuPont.

We hadn't been here in quite awhile and now will go back more often. We like the availability of lounge-type seating outside the theater so we can go early for parking and have a comfortable place to await the show. They have a nice variety of performances.
