McGlohon Theater

This is a beautiful theater that has a nice atmosphere. No gremlins here as far as I can tell. The restrooms are a bit outdated in the sense that there are the old small knob sinks. You'll need hand-sani after you wash up unless you turn off with a paper towel. They do have hand-sanitizer out as well.The staff were plentiful and friendly.I went to see Marc Broussard which really has nothing to do with the theater but the space is small enough to be almost intimate and yet it could still handle the louder stuff.I'd definitely come back!

Great spot for an intimate engagement. I've seen both concerts and author lectures here and both felt like I was hanging out in my living room, enjoying the event with a few hundred of my closest friends. Acoustics for concerts are good and visibility for authors is great no matter what seat you're in. Speaking of seats... They're pretty comfy and offer decent leg room (says the 5'4 chick). Be sure to look around/up while you're there. The stained glass windows are beautiful!The bathrooms could use an update, but since they're in the foyer/shared space, I'm not sure McGlohon could gut them even if they wanted to.

Being a fan of the smaller theater's I love McGlohon because of not only the size of the theater but also the friendly staff, the proximity to easy parking and the same amenities that the larger theaters have. The outside of the theater doesn't say much. It looks like the entrance to a modern style building that is snuggled next to an older Church entrance. When you enter the actual theater you can see the West wall adorned with stain glass windows making for a picturesque atmosphere.This theater serves some light refreshments, beer, wine and some cocktails (cash bar) and the easiest place to park is 7th Street Station which is a two block walk. There aren't as many restaurants on this end of Tryon as you would see further South.

Color me impressed. This place oozes charm and history. The stained glass windows and the red velvet seats (although a bit worn here and there) really set a welcoming atmosphere.The best part is the size - small and intimate which really makes for an incredible live entertainment experience. There really isn't a bad seat in the whole place! We had third row seats to a comedy show (only $27 each) and I spent the first 10 minutes star struck at how close we were!Add to that - craft beer, wine and snacks in the lobby that you can bring into the theater with you. $5 parking exit passes sold in the lobby and plenty of helpful ushers to get you to your seats.Can't wait to see a concert here!!

McGlohon is an amazing small theater with friendly staff and easy parking. It's a beautiful theater that I've been too many times since high school. It's a very small theater and a great place to watch a live concert. It's so small that you get a great view no matter where you sit. I've sat on the balcony and down below and both shows sounded great. You enter through a modern glass doorway that's next to a church. They have lite refreshments during shows. The sound is great and you can't go wrong with where you sit. If you get the chance to see any band or show here you won't be disappointed. It has old school theater chairs that are very comfortable.

Went to this theater last Friday to see Cruel Intentions: The 90's Musical.First off, if this show comes back, RUN...do not walk to get tickets! The music, timing, cast, and satire was utter amazing and made for a great girls night out!The theater used to be an old church and they did a beautiful job of preserving the gorgeous stained glass windows. It is a very intimate area, best for small shows. Far stage right/left can lead to obstructive views, but overall there isn't a bad seat. There are two sets of restrooms which make intermission bathroom breaks quick. The bar is centrally located outside the theater. They offer a wide mix of wine/beer/bubbly/liquor and small snacks. Also offered is a double pour of wine/bubbles/liquor if you want it! REMEMBER TO PRE-ORDER FOR INTERMISSION and avoid the drink lines!

This is a great little theatre. I have been to several theaters here in Charlotte and this is very similar to most. It has a great reception area for a drink before the show. I think this waste first time sitting in the balcony. I was on the right side and there were definitely parts of the stage I couldn't see. But over all it was a great experience.The parking lot near the theatre was full so we parked at the 7th street station which was only $5 because no other events were going on. It was only a block away.

Went to open mic night and loved it. An inspirational event. Showcased what amazing talent we have here in the Charlotte area. We saw dancing, multiple singers from all ages, poets, and musicians just to name a few. This event is free to attend and highly recommend checking one out.Great venue for intimate performances.

Whether I am enjoying a jazz show, a dance recital or a small stage play, it is a pleasant affair at McGlohon. I enjoy perusing the galleries and architecture before the shows. The women's restrooms are kept presentable which is always a plus. My only issue with McGlohon is that you have to linger in the lobby before the doors open maybe 30 minutes before showtime. Otherwise, they won't let you in. This can be a problem with open seating but all of the seats have a great view of the stage, unless someone tall or with a hat sits in front of you. I cannot speak for the balcony as I have never been up there.Tip: The facade photo is helpful for those who have never been to McGlohon. It would definitely have helped me on my first visit.

Very impressed by this theater when I visited for a free performance of King Lear. The theater was very charming and you can feel the history in the space. Seems like it used to be a church? The staff was very nice and I definitely would like to come up with more excuses to watch performances here.
