"Found in the same building as the Light Factory and the much larger and ornate McGlohon, the Duke Energy Theater puts a new face on \"intimate.\" Definitely not your typical theater/auditorium for a concert, but hey, I'm game for just about anything. Came here on a Wednesday night to catch \"Die Roten Punkte\" with my wife and some friends. Maybe only 100 seats in the whole room and most were filled. Here's my take: \n\nPros: I LOVE a good intimate venue. I love being able to see the musicians/artist's faces, expressions and actually see their movements whilst performing. DET definitely delivers here. We sat in the front row and were basically a part of the show!\n\nEasy access if you park along 7th street. No crazy stairs, windy walkways or blocks upon city blocks to walk through. Simple access in Spirit Square. \n\nCons: The seats are pretty rickety. I'm a rather broad-shouldered individual. If I were to sit next to an infant (not in a car seat) or an adolescent, I'd be just peachy. Sitting next to another dude my size -- not so much. \n\nAlso, the risers where the seats rest are a little unstable in my opinion. Agree with Chad E on that front. You can definitely feel all of the motion happening in the room. \n\nOverall a very fun, intimate venue to enjoy. Can't wait to catch another show here! Maybe I'll try and reserve some space next to me for more shoulder room next time. Cheers!"^^ . "1"^^ . . "1"^^ . "4"^^ .
