My first time at Hale Center Theater, to see "Annie," and I must say that I wouldn't mind driving 25 miles one-way to see another performance here! Stadium seats flank the square stage on all sides, with the entrance from the lobby at one corner and stage exits on two corners. This theater is very intimate, where first-row audience members will find themselves at eye-level with the performers. Other reviewers have posted that there isn't a bad seat in this theater, but I have to disagree, at least with respect to this particular performance-- if this was a sold-out show, there would be a few attendees that would not be able to see actors perform certain scenes up in the stage balcony (for example, "You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile").
I purchased my $24 ticket for half-price (plus a once-per-transaction fee of $4) through Goldstar, and picked it up at Will-call. Students, ages 5 through 18, may procure seats for $10 if they have their student IDs with them. Don't forget to check in via Yelp app to get your free drink, either at the concession booth in the lobby, or from the cart that is rolled right onto the stage during the ten-minute intermissions.
I do look forward to seeing another performance here soon-- "A Christmas Carol" and "39 Steps" sound like something worth looking into...
