Adler Theatre

  I waited too long to get my tickets so I thought I was screwed when the best tickets I could get were way in the back in the upper balcony, but I could see everything.  The seats were tiny though and my knees were mashed up against the seat in front of me.  I'm a short person, so that's notable.  It's got pretty retro decor, but charming.  Overall I liked it.  I just don't understand why ticketmaster would sell me seats way in the back when there were at least a dozen empty rows in front of me.

  I have to wonder if I was sitting in the wrong spot when I see people say this place has "great" acoustics.  Perhaps so... if so, I recommend you stay out of the balcony.  We went to see Rodney Carrington this evening... I had to work really hard to hear the words he was saying, and I had equal trouble when he sang his songs.  Overall, I could hear, but I did miss words here and there.
  
  It's a nice looking theater.  However, I am not a tall person, and my legs were really cramped in the seats.  I can only imagine how tall person would feel.  The second we sat, I wondered how long my knees would bear it.
  
  However, I have to give this place a higher review than my knees would have given it, because it is a nice theater overall... very well kept and clean and maintained.

  Gorgeous theater that appears to not be updated at all! I loved seeing those "signs of time" in the decor and style of the theater. The acoustics were great; we were there for an author's reading and could hear everything perfectly.
  Parking was easy, there was a ramp right across the street and had $5 event parking. There are also a number of restaurants within a few blocks of the Adler so dinner before was an easy walk back to the theater.
  My only complaint regarding the theater was I wish the staff would take a stronger hold on the assholes with phones out during the performance. It was very distracting.

  I was really surprised with this place. I was not expecting this place to be so aesthetically pleasing as it was. It is a beautiful theater. It has a very good layout as the place was full for the show I went to and there were no major bottlenecks and the flow of people moved fairly well. Unfortunately, I am unable to comment on the acoustics. I was lucky enough to get front row seats!!!! I am hoping to be able to get back here to see another concert.

  Good Sound, but the venue is absolutely beautiful, and larger than most intimate settings.  The locals are friendly, and the venue workers were very laid back making for a fun night of music.(no power trippers whining about kids being at a concert).  worth the drive from dekalb for sure. verrry niccceee.
