Came here recently for the Tower of Power/Average White Band show with my son. Â We both had a blast.
The Keswick is old and in need of repairs...the side walls were covered in a cheesecloth to help stop the crumbling? Â My son kept pointing out the damage to the top of the stage and you keep wondering if you really want it to be fixed or not? Â The history of the place shows and I can only imagine what it was like in its glory days.
I was in the center about 10 rows back and the instrument sounds were awesome. Â The vocals were not. Â It was very difficult to understand the words. Â If I were going again, I think you might be better off sitting further away from the stage in the center for better sound quality. Â The chairs are small old school which do recline. Â My son somehow was able to fit in a nap with ToP blasting away so they must have some type of comfort!
It was nice that the staff after the show handed out the soft pretzels for free rather than throw them out.
Parking is metered nearby or free in the neighborhood a little bit further away.
We just saw Flower Kings and Neil Morse here and it was AWESOME. Luckily it wasn't sold out because initially our seats were on the far left near the front and the sound was... not so great. We were able to move back to right behind the sound guys and it was perfect from then on. We both actually thought the seats were pretty comfy and the theatre had a really cool vibe. I'd definitely go back to another show here... if it weren't for the 5+ hrs drive.
Review Source:We had so much fun.
You just feel the history when you enter. The vibe is very cool, and from the ticket-taker to the hard-working concessions attendants, the staff was boss. Very friendly and welcoming. The acoustics were wonderful. It's just a timeless feeling.
I can see why people hate on the chairs - but if it's an upbeat show you'll be on your feet most of the time anyway. They're not comfortable, but it's not exactly torture. The lines for the bathrooms on the other hand were ruthless, especially for the ladies. So don't drink too much beer or you'll miss some music.
I've been to quite a few venues, and this spot has great character. It's a must visit so find a good show and make the trip.
I have been coming to the Keswick for close to 20 years. Â Last night may have been my last time. Â They kept the bar open for the opening act, which caused about 1/3 of the audience in the back, rudely talking over the opener, who was good but regrettably difficult to hear. Â The Mavericks were horribly over-amplified, which caused a noticeable amount of people to LEAVE the show (granted, it's the band's sound guys that control that). Â Worst of all, the manager, Oliver, could kindly be described as dismissive when we raised these issues to him. Â It was an all-around bad experience, accented by a boorish audience.
Review Source:What a great place to see live music. This theater has a very old time feel and the sound is great. It's small enough that you feel close to the stage even in the back rows but big enough to get some good acts like Rodriguez and Bela Fleck. There's a bar right behind the seating area which is nice. The seats are small but the leg room is ample.
The Surrounding area is great too. I felt like I was in small town America in the 1950's. Â There are some places to eat or grab a pre-show beer, a coffee shop or two, a barber shop complete with red white and blue barber pole, and wide sidewalks with park benches every so often. It's a great place to spend an evening. I'll keep my eye out for upcoming acts and try to make my way back soon.
I LOVE the Keswick. Â I've been here many many times to see shows (the most recent was The John Denver experience-awesome). Â Judith, who runs it is amazing. Â Oliver and Janice are amazing also. Â They are getting better and better acts all the time. Â
There is not one bad seat in the house, their prices are good...what's not to love!! Â I highly recommend going. Â It's that time of year and Jesus CHrist Superstar is coming...see it!!!
Came here to see Medeski Martin and Wood and of course, the music makes it worth it.
This is an old, old venue, but it looks like there are some renovations going on. Although the seats still suck, if you like who you are seeing then you forget that. Acoustics are better farther up the seating (towards the back). So you can decide if you want to be up close and sacrifice "some" quality in sound to be close to the performers, or hear your music as it should be in the cheap seats.
Either way, its a good venue.
The staff is still top notch and the bathrooms were fairly clean.
I like this spot. Lots of memories. Glad it's still around.
Interesting architecture! Â The place itself inside is rather dismal, but that is what you get when it is very old. Â The seating is not comfortable, maybe down the road that will change. Â One poster mentioned the rudeness of security, I agree and from what I have seen, people like to hang and drink...go to a bar then! Â
We saw The Doors (RK, RM) and Gordon Lightfoot there..pretty decent...also some comedian, who obviously wasn't that great or I would remember.
Parking is a tight squeeze.
3 1/2 stars. Â Went to see Colin Hay last night, and was my first time here. Â It's a nice theatre, with good acoustics. Â One good part is you can get a descent view of the stage from pretty much anywhere, there's no columns or anything else blocking the view. Â The bad parts are the rather old, worn-down appearance. Â They should seriously consider refurbishing the carpets, walls, etc. Â The other thing, mentioned in other reviews, are the horrendous seats. Â My back hurt the rest of the night from them! Â Seriously, get new seats!!! Â That was the one thing that kept this from being a 4-star review. Â Parking isn't the greatest, either, but you should be able to find something within a few blocks.
I would go here again, however.
I've gone to see a few concerts here recently. Â I've had good seats each time I've gone, and I really enjoyed the sight lines and acoustics. Â
The seats are probably the worse part of the venue. Â It is an older building, so to replace the seats are probably too cost-prohibitive, not to mention to improve them, they'd have to lose some seats. Â The seats are stiff, and old, you might have to sit a certain way to keep from losing your comfortable position.
I'm more than willing to go back...great time!
Saw Burton Cummings ( ex Guess Who). Packed house. Cummings was great!!!Band was tight. His voice is still as good as it was in the late 60s/early 70s.
Have to comment on the opening act. What was that? One of these guys had to know someone( or had been recently intimate with someone) that is involved with booking acts at the Keswick. They were competent guitar players...well the one guy was, the other guy just stroked chords...... and decent singers with passable harmonies, but I can almost guarantee that if you combed the audience you could come up with at least three dozen men or women that were as good or better than these guys. I'm also pretty sure that if you walked into a dormitory at a local college you'd pass an open door with guys playing the same songs just as well. Melissa? Tin Man? Moondance? Jesus Christ! I thought it was open mic nite at the Keswick.At least play originals if you have any.
If I owned a bar, I'd hire these guys to play on acoustic night.They did a nice arrangement of Hotel California to close out their set and they're probably nice guys who'll put in a good "bar" performance. But in front of a packed house at the Keswick with close to a thousand people who paid $35 per ticket?....sorry, that did not cut it. There has to be better local acts who at least do originals. I thought at first that they were possibly a last minute fill in, but later found out that they were on the original bill.
Love this venue for concerts. Not a bad seat in the house. I've seen dozens of shows here since it reopened in the 90's. The staff is very friendly and there's plenty of free parking. It's also a good venue for sound. Decent restaurants within walking distance for before or after the show.
I used to go see movies here as a kid - totally remember seeing The Exorcist and Blazing Saddles here when they were released.
First off, despite the 5 star ratings, I will admit some of the criticisms about the old and dirty  seats, long waits at restroom and bars are valid and true.
That said, I am not giving less than 5 stars, because it gives me what I ask for most music venues.  Excellent acoustics(probably one of the best I have), pretty much every seat is very good and the musicial acts can't be beat. People I have seen include Peter Frampton, Jeff Beck, Ray Manzarek and Robbie Krieger of the Doors, George Thorogood, Little Feat, Gregg Allman, etc.  Another factor is parking. The neighborhood allows you to park freely without worries for tickets (whereas other places either make you pay for it or drive miles away  to find a spot that's not parking-ticket happy) And when you leave, you are allow to use many exits, allow you to leave very quickly and not hit any traffic. In other places, you have to leave before the encore or wait out till traffic clears
Another great factor that I am going to give Keswick 5 stars, is one time I misplaced my tickets. I thought I would miss my show. Â Luckily Keswick, had my tickets on file and reprinted them with no extra charges. How many venues would do that?
One of my best friends from Long Island usually drives up to Philly to catch a show at the Keswick. Â He would rather have me back in Long Island but he says if I move back there, the one thing he will miss is the Keswick.
Variety and quality of entertainment, 4.5 stars.
Venue, 2 stars: The theater is one single, long level of seating. While the acoustics are ok, if you are in the back of the theatre, you'll be straining to see. The seating is a tad tight, and not too comfortable, but it is an old theatre so that's to be expected.
I was here 3 weeks ago to see Doc Watson and David Holt. Now, when you first get into the town of Glenside, it's like going back to a simple, less complicated time. It's a cool little town, with quite a few restaurants to grab a bite before the show. Then you see the Keswick and it's big, bright, neon marquee, it's like the theaters my grandparents used to tell me about when they were growing up.
Doc, David Holt and everyone put on a great show, and I got to see a living legend in a great venue. Acoustics and sound were great and I was way back in the last center row. No complaints here, they bring in alot of great artists for a pretty reasonable price compared to other venues.
I'm going back in November to see Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek.
Ray and Robbty were awesome! Keswick Theater did it again!
The Keswick is our favorite performance space, and we are fortunate to have this great asset within a short drive. We have seen a wide array of performances here, from Jeff Beck to Herb Alpert to Michel Legrand to Chris Isaak. The quality of the shows is top notch and the theatre is large enough to draw distinguished performers yet sufficiently intimate so there is no poor seating location in the house.
As long as you arrive about 20 minutes before show time, landing nearby, free parking is fairly easy. Two principle concerns are that (1) the seats are in poor condition and are very uncomfortable for taller folks and (2) the theatre is in desperate need of restoration work. The deteriorating proscenium is a depressing sight, as is the lobby. Hoping that the Keswick management undertakes the repairs before it is too late to rectify the neglect.
I'm usually pretty low-key when it comes to watching a performance and I was rather intrigued when I looked up the theater after the boyfriend told me he bought Ralphie May tickets. It's a pretty cool concept; the whole place is pretty old, it has a double sided staircase to get to  the bathrooms, and lots of seating.
The attendants weren't bad, but the seats were horrible. For one, they are super close; hopefully you like your neighbor because you'll be bumping elbows all night. Plus the chairs themselves, besides being small, they have two positions: 90 degrees or a few short of 180. Seriously, you'll bump the legs of the people behind you if you try; we did!
So besides the nostalgic feeling of watching an assembly from a scrunched hard metal chair, the show was pretty good.
Overall, the Keswick is great. We live a few blocks away and have been enjoying shows for over 20 years. Lucky us!
Music and other performances are top notch.
That's the good part.
The bad part: the seats are the worst. They have refused to replace them due to not wanting the dark days it would require. Also, bigger seats = fewer seats= less revenue  So suffer we must until the day when our asses can sit in comfort.
Sometimes the ushers are nice, sometimes,very unpleasant. The security company is hard core. The lines for beverages and candy are long and slow. The people behind the counter can be downright rude. No eye contact, no thank you, no smile. Just "$12.00" then  "next!"  I realize you are busy people, but you can still do your job pleasantly. And yes the rest room situation is terrible.
Also they have this Gestapo like rule about not coming back inside once you leave. Didn't used to be that way and it's not good.
The Keswick has made hundreds of thousands of dollars over the last 20 years and the renovation then was wonderful. But take some of that profit and finish the job. Ticket prices are quite high compared to other venues, so use some of those ridiculous fees to further improve the facility.
Tip - try to stay away from seats in the rear  - it's really noisy in the lobby during shows. Even though there are signs to be quiet, security does nothing to enforce this. Apparently, they are there simply to make sure you don't leave and come back.
Keswick gets 3 for the great entertainment brought in - I can't stress that enough - but the negs are annoying enough that we have cut our visits somewhat.
The Keswick could take a page from the 5 star Sellersville and World Cafe Live about how  to do things right.
This is a really cute, old style, used to be a movie theater, theater. Seats weirdly slide back and forth, but are pretty comfy and allow for some decent leg room. We just got back from seeing the Last Comic Standing Tour show here, and aside from getting really warm once everyone was sitting down, it was an awesome size venue for this type of show. Â Parking was also not too bad; the lots were totally full but we found a street spot a block away.
But what really matters at a theater is the bathrooms, and you know it. We almost missed the beginning of the show because of the ridiculous line for the potties. Everytime I turned a corner thinking I was almost to the stalls there were 20 more people in line ahead of me. Could have something to do with there only being 4 or 5 stalls in the ladies' room; there was even a bit of a line for the mens' room, which really says something. Of course, I don't know what the solution would be for this problem that's common in most old theaters... girls, just don't bother following the arrow up the left stairs; go up the right side since that will take you to the end of the inevitable line anyway =P
Minus a half a star for limited parking options  - only half though because it's in a little town, and a star and a half for dirty yucky stained seats.
Otherwise, I enjoyed my experience here.
From what I saw there was only one ladies room and one men's room, which I don't think is enough. There must be another bathroom though that is handicap accessible, because the bathrooms we visited were up a flight of stairs - unless they have a secret elevator?
I honestly couldn't tell you how many stalls are in the ladies room because my friends and I used the mens room (don't worry there were no men in there and none came in to use it while we were hijacking it - thank god) The mens room was pretty clean, but it smelled like boys - bleh.
The ushers were very nice helping us to our seats, and I like that there are no stairs, just a ramp going down. It can be a pain to go down stairs in the dark when a concert has started. Visibility was pretty good too, and there were no problems (as stated by other yelpers) with people getting up and dancing/standing/moving around. A group of people decided to relocate to the front side by the stage and they weren't bothered. A few people were even dancing in the aisles.
After the show the venue cleared out pretty quickly, which was nice. But, the exit door we took dumped us into a dirty alley behind a Chinese restaurant - not so nice!
Despite the dirty seats and dirty alley, not a bad venue :) It's charming.
It's strange that I've lived in Glenside since I was 10 years old but had never been to the Keswick until recently. Â I went with a bunch of friends to see Craig Ferguson. Â He was awesomely funny. Â The place definitely had ambiance but the seats were really, really small and uncomfortable. Â They were worse than airline seats...super narrow and no legroom. (I'm only 5'5".) Â It took away from the show a bit. Â Not my favorite venue because of this.
Review Source:Very cool, ornate and fairly large theater. After visiting Saturday night for a Patton Oswalt show I can officially say that this place rocks. The parking was a little scary as there is no real lot and you might end up about a mile away if you show up late but we did in fact show up a little later than expected and still managed to find a spot. Keep driving around if you are in this situation as diners from local restaurants might be leaving and so you might get lucky and find a better (ie. much closer) spot to the theater. (We saw this happen a few times)
While I enjoyed the theater a lot I would probably rather see a musical show than a comedian at this theater. The place was pretty cool and every seat seemed pretty good. The best part was that the staff are unbelievable at getting people in and out without any problems. After one too many times at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby I assumed I would be smushed between 1,000 people pushing to get both in and out. That couldn't have been further from the truth. My fears of being crushed by a large mob (and so my normal clinging to the 1.3 ft taller boyfriend) were put at ease when the show ended and I wasn't pushed a single time! Way to go staff and good job venue for directing people out in an orderly fashion.
Love this place! Â Have been there twice so far, once to see David Sedaris, and last night was there for Steven Wright's stand-up. Â Both were great shows. Â Had pretty good seats close to the front and good view of the stage, although the seating was a bit cramped.
The place had 3 different bars which is nice if the line is long at one. Â And I thought it was great that you could take drinks and food to your seat to enjoy while you watch the show. Â Bathrooms were a bit out fo the way on the upper floor and there was only one so made for some long lines.
Otherwise, a comfortable venue to check out some some great acts if you're looking for more of a sit-down theater atmosphere.
I'm usually not big on having to sit down to see a show, but for the Keswick, I can easily make the exception. Â I was here last year to see Victor Wooten and it was absolutely phenomenal. Â They have a front row at the Keswick and then they set up folding chairs for addtional seating in front of that. Â I was in the front of the front and felt like I was in my own world. Â The sound quality was probably the best I've heard in a long time. Â The set up is so intimate that it almost doesn't matter that you're sitting down. Â The energy level of the audience is definitely still high. Â (Or at least it was for VW!) Â
I live pretty close to Glenside, so driving there isn't that big of a deal. Â And parking isn't so bad either. Â I've never had a problem parking in the lot behind the bank, even though it says violators will be towed. Â There's also some great food & drink to be had in the neighborhood. Â The staff that I know is a pretty kickass group of people as well!
Bottom line: Â Don't let the trip to the burbs or the seats deter you from seeing a show at the Keswick. Â You're pretty much guaranteed a great, memorable evening here.
I really like this venue. I was there for the first time last night for the BB King concert. The acoustics are great and I love the old school vibe of the place. It was an amazing show and sitting in the front row sure didn't hurt.
The only think I can hold against is the fact that they stop serving beer around 9pm or so - that and there is only 1 set of bathrooms all the way in the back and upstairs - the line during intermissions are insane.
just saw lucinda williams here last night and the show was phenomenal - i like the acoustics and there really doesn't seem to be a bad seat in the house - we were seated in the next to last row and didn't miss a thing...actually we were closer to the cocktails that way!
yes the lines are horrendous for the potty and the seats are not the most comfortable thing i have put my butt on but i didn't let it get in the way of an incredible night out with my friends...i have seen quite a few shows here - and haven't had a bad time yet...although the dude sitting next to me who fell asleep and stayed asleep the whole time while holding his plastic cup of beer was a little creepy...
get there early enough to find parking and grab a bite to eat beforehand
i lived in glenside until i was 5 and being there last night sure did bring back some good memories
I saw Brian Wilson here last night. What a perfect sound system! What a great stage! I will skip the concert review and try to be as objective as possible.
Before I go into all of the positives about this place, here's the one major problem: bathrooms. If you've got a bladder with issues, just wait until the performance has started and relieve yourself then. Why? The bathrooms, which are upstairs, usually have a line of 30-50 people in them during the intermission and directly before the show. Dumb!
Now that we're over our urinary peeves, let's get to the good stuff. I was standing in the back for the show and could see/hear the music perfectly. Don't worry about where you sit. Obviously the closer you are the better, but who cares! Have fun! How? You can take drinks with you to your seats from the mini-bars they have near the place's entrance. That means you can double fist a whiskey and coke and a beer, and despite the prices for such things (which were steep, naturally), you can get them pretty easily. Another small issue: you can't buy drinks for someone else without them being present, so don't waste your time with that approach.
The seats are damn comfortable, providing back support, butt support, without being obnoxious or too invasive of your neighbors (front, back, both sides) space.
The ushers are pretty nice, if you can find them.
For some strange reason there was a shea butter vendor near the female bathroom. I consider this an added bonus--I just wish they had had a male equivalent for the men's room.
I have very fond memories of the Keswick. Â Back in the day, we lived in Glenside; the Keswick was a run-down movie theater then. Â I remember that we walked to it during a particularly horrendous snow storm, carrying a large cooler of Scarlett O'Hara's (cranberry juice & SoCo), and drunkenly watched Bad News Bears PLUS the sequel. Â Staggered back home, stopping at the SLick Duck on the way. Â Those were heady times.
Now it is the center of a cozy, refurbished Glenside. Â It was built in the '20s by the same firm that designed the Art Museum and the castle at the old Beaver College. Â Over the last few years, it has been lovingly restored & turned into a pretty nice venue. Â Our most recent trip was to see Last Comic Standing, but they seem to have a lot of jazz and blues on the docket, as well as the occassional family show.
Do yourself a favor & make reservations at one of the local places the night of your show, allowing about 2 hours to have a leisurly meal. We like Athena. That way you can find a spot in the large lot behind the theater, walk to the restaurant, & put your doggie bags in the car before the show. Â You'll also have a lot of fun schmoozing with all of the other theater-goers who are doing likewise. Â Â Just make sure you use the bathroom at the restaurant/bar before you head out, though. Â Or wear Depends. Â The lines at the theater are horrendous.
I don't think there is a bad seat in the house. Â There is something so civilized about being able to take your plastic cup of wine back to your seat, too. Â Do check out the coming attractions on their web site & order your tix in advance.
This is a great place to see live music. It is like the Tower Theater, but on a  smaller scale. The acoustics were pretty good, and I agree that there is not a bad seat in the house. The selection of music that plays here is about 5% good and 95% hippy dippy, muchismo stuff. And the tix-- not cheap!
I Â do like the fact that you can enjoy a full selection of cocktails, and they let you go outside for a smoke as long as you have your ticket stub to get back in. My main complaint is that they really don't have enough bathrooms to accommodate the large # of people needing to pee after they drink all of those nice cocktails.
The Keswick is a hands-down AMAZING venue. Â I've seen the Average White Band/Tower of Power, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Drew Carey and the Improv All-Stars, The Machine (Pink Floyd cover band), "Weird Al" Yankovic, the Alternate Routes/Jonny Lang, and Hanson here. Â The acoustics are great, the venue is clean, and the security and staff are all very friendly. Â There is a concession stand and wet bar for your convenience and a nice little area in the lobby where the bands' merchandise tables are located if there is a concert. Â I I sold merchandise there for The Alternate Routes in July 2007 and it was a wonderful experience. Â
The Keswick brings in tons of great acts, including the ones I mentioned above, there is a coffeehouse a few doors down if you want to get drinks or light refreshments before or after the show, a variety of restaurants (including a pizza shop and a Chinese/Japanese restaurant), and a few small shops. Â So feel free to arrive early for dinner and shopping if you're coming for a show.
I *LOVE* the Keswick...everything about it. Perfect size, great sightlines, amazing sound quality, great atmosphere...the whole deal. Great acts you won't see elsewhere come here, and its a beautiful thing.
As others noted, parking can be tough to come by (at least, in the immediate area), but being that it is in a suburban, residential area, don't be afraid to drive two blocks in any one direction to find plenty of street parking. Still, the earlier you arrive the better, as you can always stop by the Keswick Tavern (or other establishment) for a little pre-show refreshment.
Its hard to say too much good stuff about this place...a gem if there ever was one. A true blue retro classic...the way they don't make 'em anymore. Make it a point to see a show here if you get the chance, it is well worth your time. It is also worth noting that you can buy tickets directly from the venue, and avoid TicketCancer entirely. Just a little extra sugar on that WinMuffin.
You know how when something is close to you, you never go there? Or is that just me.
The Keswick is a stone's throw from me and apparently has some great show. Not the least of which, was the legendary Kids in the Hall. The place has a nice homy feel combined with some on the original art deco filigree.
The sound is good and you get a decent view from most seats. Speaking of which, be aware, they slide forward unexpectedly when you sit down. There is also a concession, if you want to get your drink on.
Last night was a milestone for me - I saw The Kids in The Hall perform at the Keswick, and lemme tell ya, it was a friggin laugh riot. But that's not the point of this review, now is it?
The theater is a little piece o' history, and it's very cool. I like that the seats rock back and forth (so prepare for that when you sit down and look like an ass). They sell concessions in the lobby so you can eat and/or drink while you watch the show. The acoustics were good, and our seats were close enough to the stage that I saw spit flying from The Kids mouths throughout the performance.
Minus one star for the partial obstruction of the stage by the ginormous yellow velvet curtain. Although it was a lovely piece of fabric, I'd much rather have seen the left side of the stage. If I had known about it, I'd feel much sweeter, but because it wasn't disclosed, I shed a single tear and then went back to laughing my ass off.
Also reviewed as the Keswick Theater.
Went here last night, for the first time - saw Richard Thompson & His Band. My brother, who is a real music aficionado, had an extra ticket.
First of all, from my perspective, the performance was excellent - in addition to the guitar magic performed by Richard, the drummer was awesome. Most of the show was electric, with two acoustic numbers by Richard.
The venue itself is worth the trip. This is an old theatre (been around since 1928) that, in many other towns, would be long gone - replaced by some glass and steel monstrosity or a new strip mall. The whole downtown is picture perfect and the inside of the theatre has been renovated/redone and it looks very nice. Not sure how historically correct it is but the overall effect is very positive.
Parking is in short supply so get there a little early to get a spot. There are a few restaurants nearby (we ate at the Keswick Tavern) so you can grab a bite before or after the show. <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.keswicktheatre.com&s=ff9b74fead61b336d5ef2455fca98bfa8d14865635ced0fce652b16e96201670" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.keswicktheatr…</a>
Only minutes off of the PA Turnpike (the only downside of the trip).
If you ever get a chance to see a show at this suburban Philadelphia venue, take it. The Keswick is a gem. At the innumerable shows I've seen there, it's always seemed that even the artists were excited to be there.
These days, it's hard to even believe that an independent venue like this could still exist -- a great old theater in a town (Glenside) that seems as if IT shouldn't exist in the modern world. If you love music, you should bookmark <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fkeswicktheatre.com&s=c90cccdfe2f836a5d5916c213266aaba436a94dc48ad8f1b28409c928f2f4e38" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://keswicktheatre.com</a> and check the concert dates frequently -- you'll find unthinkable treasures. For instance, I just saw that Chick Corea will be playing with Bela Fleck this spring! Amazing. You won't hear THAT at the electric factory.
Be warned, though: parking can be tough in this little town, so try to arrive about a half hour before show time.
