Had a great time at the 40th Mayor's Arts Awards representing my band who was nominated for Excellence in Go-Go.

Great theater with history, just went for the first time and worried it'd be rundown b/c of the age. It's not new but it good condition, a little old, worn, stained but usable. Surprisingly easy to exit from. Saw Cursed Child/Harry Potter again - saw a few years ago on Broadway. Plenty of parking options locally. Mezzanine has good vantage point and was happy with value of seats in row H. Just signed up to see Hadestown in a month so you can see my family had a good time.
