Take in a show if you can

A beautiful theater - seems like it was recently re-done. Went to a show - not a bad seat in the house. Take in a show if you can

Great old theatre; sometimes mediocre plays
Jul 2019 • Couples
This is a wonderful, old, very centrally located threatened. I watch out for balcony seats as they are up about FOUR flights of stairs. If you go to the balcony DON’T GET THE SEATS ON THE EDGE. You can’t see the entire stage (at least from the right side of the Balcony). We went to a VERY OLD SCHOOL Stephen Sondheim play. It was very degrading to women. We walked out at intermission.

The team is amazing!
Jun 2019 • Couples
We were in town for the Food and Wine festival and once again the team at Wheeler was great. We were running so late and I thought for sure we would miss registration but when we got to town things just fell into place. We found a parking spot in front of wheeler, we walked in and a volunteer immediately greeted us. Then we were escorted upstairs checked in, given a drink and had a snack. Perfection.

Lovely older theater house
Feb 2019 • Family
I came to the film festival here, it was a lovely theater with comfy seats. Now it took some walking up stairs to get there, if you have difficulty walking look for an elevator! Staff at the ticket area were extremely pleasant and helpful

Chris Collins
Oct 2018 • Couples
Visited the Opera House while attending the John Denver Celebration. Chris Collins and his band was playing the last night of our visit and we loved it! The staff was tremendous; very helpful and welcoming. There is a bar on the second floor where you can purchase alcohol to take inside the theater with you. Seating was comfortable; however, did not like that they brought in extra chairs at the last minute and arranged them ahead of the first row just below the stage.
