    Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts - Wagon Wheel set up for holiday performance

    Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts

    (18 reviews)

    The Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts was founded in 1956 by Major Herbert Petrie, his wife, and…read moretheir friends John and Kitty Butterfield. It was originally known as Wagon Wheel Playhouse. Fun fact: Major Petrie played trumpet in the Army band under the direction of John Philip Sousa. The original theatre started as a simple tent with a gravel floor, canvas chairs, and two old chicken coops that served as the scene shop and dressing rooms. In the early 60s, a simple structure was actually built. In 1970, Major Petrie retired and sold the playhouse to a group of Warsaw businessmen. In 1984, a new group bought it and in 1995 Bruce Shaffner became sole owner. In 2010, there was a corporate reorganization and it became a non-profit organization known as Wagon Wheel Theatre, Inc. The Wagon Wheel has a circular stage with 360-degree seating. Seating goes 10 rows high - so it's a fairly immersive experience. Free and general parking is located behind the theatre. Accessible parking is located in the parking lot next to Center Street and along the side of the theater facing the Wyndham. Accessibility options do exist here. I wouldn't call them perfect, though there's been an obvious effort. There's one accessible stall in both men's and women's restrooms. Accessible seating is limited to Section 1, Row G (this doesn't thrill me) - companion seating is also available. Accessible tickets are sold only through the box-office or by calling. Usher service begins an hour before the show - there's a preference here to remove unneeded walkers, wheelchairs, and larger mobility devices not needed during the performance (ushers will assist - again, not thrilled about this as one never knows when a device may be needed and getting it back can be disruptive). The AWS Foundation has supported Wagon Wheel in acquiring sensory bags and other items for those with light, hearing, and other sensory sensitivities. SuperEar Listening devices are available for those with hearing issues. This is free of charge. Service animals are welcome, though they must be in a clearly marked vest. In addition to regular shows, Wagon Wheel offers a variety of programs in support of its mission. They exist for all age groups. They are quite active in the community. Shows here are entertaining, the acoustics are strong, and staff/volunteers are nearly always friendly. Shows include live theater, symphony, concerts, and other types of shows. This is a Northeast Indiana gem. While there are some modest accessibility concerns I have, there's a strong effort to be inclusive and the theatre is absolutely a beloved gem for this community. The recent holiday show was spirited and impressive. Despite my concerns about seating, I will admit my seats were fine and the show was awesome.

    It is nice and fun. Their shows are always good. To the few I have been they have been really good…read more Would recommend for a low budget show.

The South Shore Railroad station on Ridge Road is under construction; once the rail line is operating and traubs stopping at this location it would provide an option of accessing TATC fairly easily, but it would be a fairly long walk to the theatre, less than a mile. I do not know whether the City of Munster or TATC plan to provide a shuttle bus for the businesses along Ridge Road.

We came to experience a tribute to John Denver. As you enter the theater you will find a theater almost in the round. Every seat is a good seat. The sound was fantastic. The matinee was packed. I looked at the schedule and they offer quite a selection depending on your taste. You can eat lunch there if you make reservations. You will also find an art gallery, gift shop and another setting we did not see. The center is on the former site of Lanier School and the old library. What a great location near the highway and Illinois. The week before they hosted Munster's Got Talent. Take a day to explore the location. Visit Three Floyd's and stay overnight. I understand that very soon you will be able to take South Shore and leave the car behind.

    Elkhart, Indiana's Lerner Theatre is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2024. The theatre was…read moreopened by Harry E. Lerner on November 27th, 1924 and originally had 2,000 seats with vaudeville, big band, and theatrical revues dominating the schedule. As movies came into reality, the Lerner also hosted them. The Lerner has changed ownership several times throughout the years and actually went vacant in 1987 when then owner William Miller passed away. Eventually, the city of Elkhart bought it in an effort to ensure its preservation. A non-profit negotiated to actually run the theatre as a performing arts center and initial renovations began to include interior painting on the main floor, restoration of the Grand Lounge, ADA compliant restrooms, new carpeting, new seats and lighting. It became apparent, however, that the beloved Lerner needed much more if it was to become the downtown Elkhart landmark everyone wanted it to be. Over the next several years, studies took place and plans were developed. In 2008, the city committed $18 million to a complete renovation that was completed in 2011. The Lerner today is a magnificent theatre. The Lerner hosts everything from local groups to national acts like Rodney Carrington, Brad Williams, and a host of musicians and comics. In terms of accessibility, the Lerner Theatre has wheelchair accessible seating available for patrons and companions within regular theatre seats in multiple sections on the Main Floor of the theatre. We have additional options for seating in Main, Left and Right, Row AA, that would not be limited by the dimensions of the patron's mobility device. These seats are available for purchase, or upon request, from the box-office (in-person or by phone). As is often true of historic theatres, there is no wheelchair accessible seating in the balcony section. Restrooms are available and do meet ADA guidelines. The Lerner also offers a variety of assistive hearing devices. While generally animals are not allowed, exceptions include guide, sign or signal dogs to aide those with disabilities. The Lerner does offer concessions and you can take them into the theatre, however, they do ask that you open any items prior to entering the theatre. As the Lerner is downtown in Elkhart, there are dining options available and it's very possible to enjoy a night in downtown Elkhart. Fun fact: The Lerner has a 1924 Kimball pipe organ that is one of only three Kimball pipe organs currently installed in its original location. It was restored in 2011. Free parking is available adjacent to The Lerner in the Civic Plaza Public Parking area and Marion Street Parking Garage. Tours are available - reservations are required and tours are $10.

Upshot is - I think this is a good place and we're very likely to stay here again the next time we're in the Peru, IN area. The hotel is welcoming with a bright, open lobby, good, safe parking and friendly, helpful staff. The lobby was clean and featured a lot of conveniences for which snootier places would charge. Breakfast, as others have mentioned, was a real treat and Nicole was a whirling peach helping everyone out while evincing friendly interest in all guests. Our room was perhaps less perfectly clean than it might have been (either a large white-haired dog or a polar bear had recently been housed there, and housekeeping's noble struggles to mop up all the residue weren't 100% successful) and the bathtub drain was slow and allowed water to pool around my ankles during just a quick shower. Here's the thing, though: we were headed to a wedding shortly after we arrived and were only there for one night. I'm CERTAIN that if I'd mentioned these issues to the folks at the front desk, they would have been rectified tout suite. I didn't, though, because I didn't have the time. (I mentioned them in response to a "How Were Things?" email from management - hey, and that email itself is a great sign, eh? - and got a royal apology and a promise to jump on fixes.) And other family members staying at the Best Western Circus City Inn had nothing but high praise for the cleanliness and functionality of their quarters. Ours was just bad luck - what are you gonna do? It happens. So, while _our_ experience was maybe a little flawed, I think that was unusual and the hotel itself is a solidly good place to stay in Peru.
