Luckily we found parking at the venue. They have a couple of bar set ups. It's easily accessible off south blvd. No food but plenty of places around the venue. I would come back here anytime for an outdoor concert as it's low key and small enough where you feel part of the concert from anywhere.

On my most recent visit, the vending machines were broken (couldn't get a drink or a snack). The facility is modern and clean. The only thing is that while you can take drinks into the auditorium, you cannot take food/snacks. This was a bummer, especially on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon before dinnertime. They have someone sitting at the door to stop you. I strongly suggest you check the campus map so that you know where you are going prior to arrival so that you can park in the right location.

I went to see a chamber music concert here and was quite impressed with the auditorium. It is…read moreaesthetically pleasing and the acoustics were good. The seating and layout of the auditorium are totally appropriate for this type of venue. The only downside is the parking situation. Because the campus is bursting at the seams, the parking lots keep getting pushed further away from the campus. However, that is really a minor inconvenience, so I would definitely come back to see future performances here.

Community theatre is the heart of downtown Concord is full of charm, local talent and so much fun!…read moreI have attended quite a few plays, but this time we took in "A Time to Kill" and it was a delight! The quaint theatre boasts beautiful stained glass windows and comfy seats and the cozy community theatre vibe where no seat in the house is a bad one. We were on the front row center this time and loved it! The actors in this production were spot on and I loved the OCT adaption of the book/movie. The comedic moments had us laughing, but the serious moments were quite powerful in this intimate setting, and even though I knew the story, found myself leaning towards the stage waiting to see what was next! Visit the website for upcoming plays and patronize this precious hometown gem, you won't be disappointed! There is local artwork for sale in the lobby and light refreshments offered as well for reasonable prices. For every play I've attended at least part of the cast is mingling with the patrons following the play and I just adore that! So fun to chat with them and share your thoughts about that night's production. I can't wait to go back soon...seriously - check it out! It's not fancy but full of charm, not pricey but well worth the ticket price and not broadway, but an awesome way to spend a couple of hours and support local actors and musicians - what more can you ask for?

Each show is pretty affordable, everything we've seen thus far has been amazing! I love having this little gem in Concord. I will say the place could definitely use some TLC, as it is very old and slowly deteriorating and falling apart on the inside. Aside from that, we've never had any problems here. There's ample parking, lots of seating and space inside, clean bathrooms, and the prices are low and realistic, which is a huge plus!

They have tons of local bands too that are just starting so another great way to support local artists. We came for the Tantric concert but heard a couple opening bands that were fantastic!

We will definitely be back!

It's not a terrible drive from Fort Mill, SC, about 45 minute on a Sunday afternoon. I was able to park right in front of the Venue and my ticket was waiting at will call. A smooth and easy check-in and I was able to talk to Todd before the show. I've seen him several times when he collaborates with other musicians but this was the first time solo. He played a mix of originals and covers. After several songs others joined him for several songs. They were all great on a Dave Mason original, Feelin Alright. Many know the song from the Joe Cocker cover. The band was great, Todd with some great guitar licks and a lead riff, the bass player was laying the line, the drummer on time and the keyboard player, Bazz The GranDude, with a nice mini-solo. Very impressed with the lady on the mixing board. She was out front on her iPad and got the vocal & instrument mix solid. It was a fun time and I hope to return before the summers done.
