So after some research I saw that the cast of Hadestown were also doing a one night only play at the Union Civic Center in Greeley Colorado. Tickets were cheaper and I could also get closer seating for the price. I am really glad I did because the venue was more intimate. It wasn't as deep as the Buell, so even if you got "nose bleed" seats here it would be about half way back at the Buell theater. The stage is a little smaller but I kinda liked that part of it. The only problem I had is they have some bottleneck issues. You couldn't even get out of the bathroom and back to your seat before the show started after intermission. Also getting out of the building afterwards was quite hard and slow. Besides that I thought this was a wonderful venue to catch a play and worth the drive to Greeley from Denver. I will be seeing more plays here in the future.

I will admit that sometimes the acoustics are not the greatest, but then it's not some state of the art concert hall like in the big cities.

This village is huge and definitely can spend a whole day here. My friend and I randomly stumbled upon Centennial Village during the Greeley Stampede- the entrance fee was free! Normally they charge, so maybe it's a special promotion during the Stampede. You should definitely go in if you are here this week for the event. Family friendly environment with fresh air and many things to look at. Volunteers are friendly and welcoming. Some of my favorites were going to the gun shop and seeing historic guns, going into different houses and seeing the gadgets and tools people used back then, and learning about the important people of Greeley. By the way, the village is 8 acres- Be ready to walk a lot!

A beautifully performing orchestra!…read more Dr. Howard Skinner conducted the music at my first visit to UCCC to hear the Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra. I had heard the same music before, many times, as it was one of my favorite compositions of all time. When I heard this music again, this time under the baton of Dr. Skinner, with the orchestra members performing more wonderfully than I could ever have imagined, I was enraptured. I purchased season tickets year after year and loved every performance. Dr. Skinner favored the classic composers - Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Wagner, and so on - at least that is what is clearest in my memory. What I heard from orchestra members was that Dr. Skinner had turned the orchestra from a fairly good one to an excellent one, and from an organization that had a little support to one that had tremendous support. I became one of those supporters, socially and organizationally as well as financially. Things change. With the retiring of Dr. Skinner from the orchestra came organizational, selection, and performance changes. There is much music in the world, and every genre (check Grove's or, if laz,y wikipedia, for examples of some of the countless genres) has its multitude of fans. So I know that Greeley is as happy with its orchestra today as it was with its orchestra of yesterday. With great respect for the excellence of both conductor and orchestra, I embolden myself to say that the choices of which compositions to perform leaves me wanting. We do not often travel for concerts or other musical performances. When we do, the classics remain my favorite. I avoid moderns even though there are some whom I find quite enjoyable. I likewise avoid performances that seem to be self-promotions or resume-packing. I truly love the Greeley Philharmonic for the joy it has given me, my family, and our friends. The auditorium is lovely albeit small. The stage is adequate, albeit small. The cost of admission for me is almost inconsequential, but more objectively I suppose it is "moderate". The quality of performance is high. The staff consist of both paid and volunteer workers, and I have found each and every one of them to be cheerful, welcome, and helpful when needed. The most difficult part of the performances is to listen to the sponsors give little speeches, and to realize that in some cases, a business or hospital which says it is "doing everything we can to keep costs low" is contributing thousands of dollars as their sponsorship - which means they are doing something they don't have to do, which will raise the cost of their services. Can't they see the incongruity of their words and their actions? I look forward to some future season in which all eyes and ears are on the illustrious, proven standard-bearers of western composition, whoever they are.

The bass volume was two to three times higher that optimal. The result is that the base cover the vocals and most of the lead guitar solos. It was just a little "off" but the bass was wildly over boosted. If this were a dancing venue, such misguided sound management might have been forgivable. Unfortunately, this was a concert, where we wanted to understand the words and clearly hear the guitar solos. It's a really nice venue, for small concert listening. They need to hire a new sound person.
