We had a function in the Great Hall that was fantastic. What a gem for such a small city. We have gone to concerts in the Krannert Center and the acoustics are more than acceptable. more »

Beautiful, acoustically balanced space which makes any seat in the house enjoyable. Sound was very well balanced. Looking forward to attending additional events here in the future.

My wife and I took a nice date night to go see the nutcracker. The performance was wonderful to say the least. The seating and the view we had were great. We didn't have enough time in intermission to order anything, but maybe that's because we are just slow haha.
