I find myself at Knight Theater more often than the other theaters in and around Uptown; Knight seems to get more of the artsy and funky kinds of shows than their grown-up sister venues.
After visiting a handful of times, I'm consistently impressed with the venue itself and with the people who work there. Ushers are always kind and helpful and seem to genuinely enjoy their work.
Parking is simple and affordable. On Sundays, the deck at Duke Energy Center doesn't seem to bother with staffing -- our parking cost zero dollars and only a few minutes of our time navigating the deck.
The location is wonderful, too. On the edge of Uptown, on the way to Southend, there are several great attractions and restaurants worth visiting before and after the show. Traffic always seems to be a bit less crazy on this side of Uptown, so don't be afraid to explore on foot.
I've never chosen to go to a show specifically because of the theater it's playing in, but I'm always pleased to see Knight Theater printed on my tickets.
