This is a super charming new theater in Benton Harbor. The area doesn't have a ton of theater…read moreoptions so it a was great to have the opportunity to check it out. The first thing you notice is that they use the space very well. You walk into it and there's a refreshment area with a few options at very reasonable prices. After that there's some merchandise for sale as well. Once you go into the theater there's lots of available seating around. It's a black box style theater, with the audience pretty close to the stage, which is nice. The performance itself was top notch! Clybourne Park was funny & poignant, with a minimalist stage. The acting really brought all the characters to life. The theater seems to be doing a lot of great things for the community. They have a camp for kids in the summer and Paul, the stage director seems to have a promising vision for the future of the space. Can't wait to see what's in store for this theater in the years to come.

Have attended the first three of their plays this summer: Bridges of Madison County, No Exit and Clybourne Park. Each and every one was first rate and the audiences gave robust, well-deserved standing ovations. Cannot wait for the final show of the season - Urinetown opening August 22.

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.

The first day we showed up for lessons there was NO one around to greet us, check us in, or even tell us what to do or expect.

They offer a variety of music and dance classes, and pretty much the only option around these parts. :)
