  It was a great place to spend St Patrick's Day. Such a wonderful setting... imagine how many people have shared and enjoyed the same spot that we sat in.

  The theatre is a cute one, all good seats, and most of the staff is friendly and helpful. But beware, you are hot allowed to have “too much” of a good time. The theatre nazi’s will be chasing you down and literally almost running across the theatre to tell you to sit down or put your camera up. I’ve been to many many shows and performances of all types and they ALWAYS announce at the beginning of the show if you are allowed to take photos or videos. Well they did not at the Buddy Holly show and it was very distracting to see the staff running around telling people to put their phones down. And when the audience wanted to participate, the staff was telling people to sit down. When the performers were LOVING it and asking people to get up and participate. I have also been a performer and still am and we love when the audience reacts and looks like they are having a good time. It made the experience not as great as it could have been. But the performers were great even though I know they can slightly see the movement around from the white shirts. And yes in a small theatre they can see YOU. Very rude to be honest and disrespectful of the talent. Please just announce it at the beginning, while your kissing up to the tour groups.

  Great venue! We’ve had the opportunity to see Ricky Skaggs, Malpas Brothers, Rhonda Vincent, Jamie O’Neal and are heading there now to see Gene Watson. Definitely like the Newberry Opera House.
