Marian University Theatre

Such a great theater. Plenty of parking, easy check-in/ticket purchasing. The theater seats about 500, and all the seats are good. (As a matter of fact, I'd rather sit in the balcony than in the floor. It has a great view of the stage.)The seats are comfortable and spacious. It's easy to find your seat and get down the aisles. The sound system and lights are great. The only drawback is the small lobby. If it's a well attended show you have to wait in line for concessions for a really long time. Overall, this is a great venue.

I attended the production of Cabaret last night with a friend and enjoyed the performance. Some comments I heard was that it was boring, but not having seen any previous performance of Cabaret (not even the movie with Liza Minnelli!), I really didn't know the story line. The Emcee (played by Jeremy Allen Brimm) was amazing and the actress who played Sally Bowles (Betsy A. Norton) had an amazing voice. Her day job is a surgical nurse at IU Health North Hospital...such talent!The theatre was a little hard to find since the address couldn't be found on my TomTom, but I eventually got there before the performance began. Not being overly familiar with the Indianapolis area didn't help...and didn't help me avoid all the construction issues at Lafayette Road/Highway 65.The theatre didn't serve alcohol before the show or during intermission, but they had me at the chocolate chip cookies! I'd like to see more productions in the future.

What a great small venue. There is not a bad seat in the house. The sound was great. The seats were comfortable and roomy. It was the first time I had been there for a show, I was impressed.
