Center Stage Theatre is a concert venue and I got to visit when I came to town for a concert. This…read morejust might be my favorite concert venue that I've ever been to for a more intimate show! I loved the layout of the theater, where it seemed like all seats were good seats. They had both floor tickets where it was standing room and then seating that looked kind of like colosseum or stadium seating. Although they had this seating, the place still felt intimate and really added to the ambiance of the concert. I also loved the layout of the lobby area where there were different entry points and a good space for the vendors to sell tour merch and several areas where they had mirrors that gave great photo ops or an area to check your outfit. Loved Center Stage Theatre!

As someone who has acted before, I can say the issues we experienced were more on the production company than the venue itself. The main problem? Smoke. So much smoke. It was hard to breathe, my eyes were watering, and I'm a pretty tough guy--but my fiancée was really suffering. When I called to request a refund, I learned it wasn't just us. If you're going to use a fog machine, you need to disclose it ahead of time, especially for children, people with respiratory issues, or anyone sensitive to it. On top of that, there was a child crying during the performance. Instead of quietly and discreetly taking them outside, staff tried to address it in the middle of the show, which was distracting for everyone. That said, I do want to thank the venue for working with us to get a refund. The space itself is nice, and I'm open to returning for other productions in the future. Just a heads-up--the seating is very intimate, so be prepared to be close to your neighbors.

The venue is beautiful and the seating is really good we're almost everyone gets a good view of the stage. One star less for overpriced parking. Online it said it was $10 but on the event day they bumped it up to $20. I did not try the offerings at the concessions but they had the standard popcorns nachos and drinks available. They do restrict back sizes so do look that up on your specific shows instructions. Look forward to coming back for Opera performances and other shows.

It was my first time here, and while I don't enjoy getting emails about what's happening at Cobb Energy, I would go again if something catches my eye. Getting here was pretty easy, and there seemed to be a good bit of parking, which was straightforward and didn't feel too dangerous to leave your car sitting out. For those who prefer getting dropped off and picked up from the venue, there was a clear path to do so that wasn't crowded and busy like at bigger venue. They offer food and drinks that you'd see at other venues, and the prices are about what you expect. The attendants are on the older side, but I suppose that would be expected for a performing arts center. They direct foot traffic and try to get everyone to where they need to be. They will check your ticket upon entry (not just security at the door) to give instructions on where your seat will be. They are pretty strict after the performance though and will usher you out.

Everything is a bit more intimate and therefore the prices are a bit less than the Atlanta Symphony, but the availability depends on the event. Check the website for a listing of events. I attended a musical performance by The Vega String Quartet performing selections by Bach and Bartok. Tickets were $20 for non members, $15 for members, and free for all students. It was held in the larger Emerson Concert Hall of the Shwartz Center. It was completed in 2002 and is decorated with rich red carpets and classical Italian touches. The acoustics of the hall are excellent and every seat has a good view of the stage. Emory does a great job as a host. The student volunteers were polite while passing out the programs and were respectful to the artist and not disrupting the performance by preventing us to take our seats late. I also noticed the complementary cough drops by the entrance, a nice classy touch. Oh, and the bathrooms in this building make you believe your at a spa in Tuscany.

We arrived around 2:30 and was there until 9:00 pm for the taping of 2 shows. Not even a cracker was provided to eat! Cheap, ghetto and classless is what I call it! There is not even a vending machine. I never saw on any correspondence that taping would be that long and nothing to snack on available. Tyler Perry, Steve Harvey and Family Feud bring in toooo much money for not even a small pack of peanut butter crackers, a granola bar or even a 25 cent bag of chips to be served!!! I was totally disgusted and turned off by this because although it was a free taping----you wouldn't be able to do it without a live audience!! A little bit of appreciation for 7-8 hours of your time would have been nice. The staff seemed mean, over worked and underpaid. No smiles other than the production manager who had a curly natural fro ponytail. There was a heavyset black guy with a black winter beanie cap on that told my daughter the Smart Pop popcorn was for people who were there all day.! Well wtf do you call 2-9pm. Then to make matters worst, the staff and family members of the contestants are hot lunches in our faces. It was so classless! Steve Harvey and the hype man were so cool though and really provide for lots of laughs. Steve even left us on a spiritual note. He is definitely a natural comedian and speaker. Now that was a 5 star experience! Just Steve, hypeman, music, and the show itself 5 stars! The production company and the professionalism and hospitality of this place is a 3 and that's being nice. Overall, moving forward I would not recommend spending your precious off day setting around starving all day to see the show. I'll just watch from home but should you happen to read my review and go------ Eat a heavy meal before hand bc these cheap ass folks will not even provide a saltine cracker. If times are that hard they should just stop taping. I went to a few live taping and they at least provide light snacks via vending machine or free lay out. Despicable and changed the way I look at Tyler Perry Studios. Production company needs to get it together. Would never return and don't recommend!
