Fabulous show, uncomfortable seating
by Honeybee on 3/29/23John, James and Clara Knight Stage - AkronThe actors, superb! The stage and props, wonderfully creative! The lighting & sound, excellent! The venue,…a let down :( I am sorry! We had never been to MTB and believed we were going to be in the main Civic theater. We were soooooo disappointed to learn it was in a plain, basic side room. If that was more thoroughly explained or indicated, we would have been mentally prepared. However, even after getting over missing out on the ambiance that is the Civic, the seats were extremely hard and uncomfortable, and placed so tightly together that the gentleman sitting next to my mother took up part of her seat (and he was just an averaged sized-man). I observed many people in front of me who had “encroachment issues.” Also, being on a flat floor instead of an inclined theater floor, my daughter and I (5’3” and 5’1”, respectively) had almost no view. By the end of the night, I had a stiff neck from straining to see around people. I literally felt like I was sitting in the stands at an OSU football game where every person has about 10”-12” for your rear end to fit on the hard metal bleacher with no view past the person’s back in front of you. So, EXCELLENT show, not so excellent seating and venue.
