That's a very useful tip to include because the parking price difference is significant. I'd add it…read morenear the end like this: I recently visited Center Stage Theater on two separate days for the Claressa Shields vs. Kaye Scott fight events--Thursday for Media Day and Friday for the official weigh-ins--and the venue was a great setting for both. Center Stage has a really cool atmosphere that works especially well for an event like boxing. It feels intimate enough that you're close to everything happening, but still has the professional feel you want for a major media event. From a media perspective, I appreciated being able to experience the venue on back-to-back days and see how well the space transitioned between Media Day and the weigh-ins. The staff was welcoming and professional, and everything felt organized throughout both visits. With fighters, trainers, promoters, photographers, videographers, media, and guests all moving around, organization can make a huge difference, and the venue handled the activity well. I also really liked the character of the theater itself. It doesn't feel like a generic event space--it has its own personality and creates a great backdrop for photos and video, especially during something as energetic as a boxing weigh-in. One tip I would definitely give anyone planning to visit is to check the parking apps before paying at the kiosks. I was able to find parking for $21 for the entire day through an app, while paying directly through the parking kiosk was $14 for only three hours. If you're going to be at Center Stage for several hours, especially for an event, using a parking app can save you quite a bit of money and keep you from having to worry about your time running out. Being there for the Claressa Shields vs. Kaye Scott Media Day and weigh-ins gave me the opportunity to experience Center Stage Theater in a completely different way, and I came away impressed. Two days, two different events, and a great experience both times. Definitely a venue I would be happy to return to for another boxing, entertainment, or media event.

As I was doing some research about this venue, I was particularly interested in the parking…read moresituation. From what I read, there were a few different options. The venue has a parking lot directly under the property. Other options mentioned include an office building across the street and a hotel next door. As we approached the venue on W. Peachtree street, I saw a parking attendant waving a flag encouraging patrons to use the venue parking. I followed his encouragement and took that sharp left down the ramp. As my research reported, it was tight and congested. I had to drive down at least three different levels to find an open spot. I paid for my parking at one of the machines positioned around the parking deck. It was the usual; enter your license plate and pay with a credit card. It was fairly reasonable at $20 for 9 hours. I saw a few people waiting and waiting for an elevator that never arrived. Your best bet is to walk up the path that you drove down to get to the theater. When we made it to the top and the front entrance a staff member asked if we were drinking, checked our IDs and placed a bracelet on our wrists. Once we entered, walked past security and through the metal detectors doors, we made it to the lobby area. A full bar was right in front of us and we joined the fast moving line. They had about 5 - 7 beer options. I ordered the Scofflaw POG Basement IPA and Wifey ordered the Yuengling lager. We scooped up our beers and went to find our seats. There were staff members everywhere to help. We found our seats and settled in for the show. This is a mid-sized venue and there is not a bad seat in the house. We thoroughly enjoyed the almost 2 hour show and the artist sounded great. As the show wrapped up we headed to the restroom where we both had to stand in a line, but it was fine and the bathrooms were clean. Wifey had a longer line than I did, of course. While waiting I was able to snap a few more pics. We headed back to the parking lot which took us about a half hour to reach the street level. Overall, we had a very good experience at Center Stage and would return for another show. 3.5 - 4 Rating

I believe something like quarterly.

Very intimate and "close" - I get a wee bit claustrophobic and generally eye an escape route in any group setting, so it was a little tight for me. Staff is just as friendly and helpful as upstairs, based on my experience last month at another show, and on folks like the gentleman who helped me last night when my friend was running late (and texts are unreliable down there so I didn't know how soon she'd make it); he held her ticket at the door so I could go ahead in - note, this is also because they don't allow late seating. Go early if you prefer higher up seating as I do - we got stuck with front row which I find makes it hard to get a "full" perspective of any show or movie. The play itself wasn't as great as I expected but they do often have "after show" kind of things like the comedy improv that followed last night. Definitely a spot I will visit again and look forward to getting to know better.

There was an undeniable stench of marijuana throughout the place upon our entry and a puddle of water on the stairs leading to the basement.

There were about 8 comics total, ranging from funny to raunchy. Some I could relate to, some very hard to understand due to ghetto accents and slang. Overall not a bad show but we would have not ended up here if laughing skull hasn't sold out. Don't sit out front if you don't want to be picked on/made fun of.
