I was in a few shows when I lived here and I saw many more - always enjoyable productions. There's usually a show every 1-2 months. If you're interested in theatre, you'll definitely want to see or audition for a show at Towngate, part of the Oglebay Institute. They do a fair mix of shows-everyone-has-heard-of, obscure stuffs and original work.

Their snack bar was okay. It's really the only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5. I was very glad they had coffee, but the cup was really small. I would have paid more for a larger cup. I might have had tea, but they only offer Lipton tea bags. Towngate is trying to raise funds for repairs on their building, so I know they can't spend an arm and a leg on refreshments. However, I wonder if they could get some donations from one of the local coffee shops, sell the beverage for more, and raise more funds. All in all, still looking forward to seeing more movies there, and I will still order a coffee (maybe two).

My 100th review belongs to one of my favorite places. Opening in 1928, the Keith Albee maintains…read moreits historic structure and aesthetic, remaining completely functional and beautiful. Among other events, I grew up with the incredible Huntington Symphony Orchestra, who hosts all their indoor concerts here, as far as I know. Not only is it a gorgeous theater, but it has remarkable acoustics, much better than far larger and newer theaters I've been to for orchestral concerts. I highly recommend sitting in the balcony for an event like this, as sound is absorbed by clothing, so music is much more easily listened to (and watched) from the balcony. The Keith Albee is truly beautiful, and I am so happy it has retained its historic beauty over the years. There is an old fashioned box office, detailed carpeting, and even lovely restrooms. The restrooms include a "lounge" with seating. I was always mesmerized by the lights and details of the theater itself growing up, and still admire them every time I go as an adult. I highly recommend attending an event here if you haven't, especially a music event such as the Huntington Symphony Orchestra. You don't need to be "high class" to come here and feel that you belong. I have always felt at home in my beat-up Converse, no matter what the people around me are wearing. It is probably my favorite place in Huntington, and truly a gem of the city.

As with any small town theaters you will often see the same performers in different roles which can be interesting. Pricing is about normal for what they offer and the market they're in.
