I've enjoyed every show, I like the Michael Jackson one the best so far. The DJ is GREAT, because he gets you in the mood, it's very upbeat and he involves the audience with the music that he plays, I'm always up dancing. The drinks are really good and strong, it took me 2 hours to finish. I like the vendors, I try and buy something from each one to support them. I would like to see a rotation of different vendors. I remember when it was a movie theater, I would bring my 2 son there on Saturday's because it was convenient and cheap. I plan on going to every show they have at Theater 47.

There is plenty of parking in front and on the side of the theater. Light snacks and drinks are available-not sure if it was cash only. The tiered seating was first come first served and was comfortable. The music was great and the costumes were as well. The performance for the most part was good. Some of the song ranges were slightly out of reach when not intentional but overall was entertaining. My two friends and I enjoyed it even though they weren't theatre people. They have opportunities to donate to worthy causes which they brief you on before the performance along with additional items not listed on the main program. Such as a jazz event that sounded like a come in and just enjoy versus an actual performance. Another thing to do that's different.

Our CEO rented the theater for our showcases of great artist that came from the community. He paid in full 1,600.00 for the full rental in two parts 800.00 deposit and the Friday before the event he paid 800.00. The CEO brought our own sound system in which the house engineer didn't approval of a JBL, EV, Crewin-Vega,Tascam 3500 System this was one of our best sound system. He acted as if we trying to hurt him in our goal to save money. As far as management of the theater they sided with him but took our money for the event. We had a great outstanding showcase it was our first major event as a theater company of artist. We had great people at our event from Ford Motor Co Assembly Plant and The Isley Bros Family Members. We had about 160 patrons to our event as we had plan to have many more events there. There was no trouble at our event and we had a great Powerhousevideo of Oak Lawn IL. filming our concert event. Now we also was a part of the community as renter of a recording studio Dunmore Music sound reinforcement company in Park Forest IL. on 25 Main Street for 8 to 9 years and we would do about 3-4 concert on the area called Greens in Park Forest IL. The manager was not to bad st all Ms.N.Fells she gave us that true break we needed as Mr. Chuck Sabey was good to us until his sound engineer wanted run our showcase which made it a problem. Now that when everything came falling down on us in our rental event of the theater for more than one event that we planned to do at least 10-20 concerts there at Freedom Hall in Park Forest IL. Freedom Hall responded by saying no by Mr. Chuck Sabey and Ms. N. Fells. This all came about because of the sound tech wanted control of our concert event showcase. This was not a fair in business at all to us as a team of great artist for our first event there. We have our event on youtube.com at Dunmore Music. They need to give us a total apologize as we did paid honest money for our concert event. This concert was organized by people,church members and sponsors who live in the surrounding communities and supported business in Park Forest IL area. Oh by the way this was a clean music event that was always order by our CEO Mr. Joseph C. Dunmore Sr. A very decent christian person that would give his best for our team at all cost.

They sound needs work, to be expected when you're new to a building. Hopefully it will be fine tuned sooner than later. Poor sound can ruin the entire production. The band was AMAZING! I would pay to hear them. I was not impressed by some of the singing. Missed notes and flat chords were noted here and there. The event felt more like a recital but I expect productions to be more professional and tuned. Tonight's event was laid back and conducive to mingling and discovering this new gem in Park Forest. Big shoes to fill for sure. The old ITC had variety and a host of great performers, many who are working in Hollywood today (Michael Shannon, to name one). SPAA Theater had a decent start tonight.
