Not a bad seat in this place! We have been coming here for years for concerts graduations and other things! Great place to watch a show.

Great venue for a documentary viewing party!

Akron has been gifted over the years by a first class facility in EJ Thomas. Theres plenty of parking, friendly service people to help you find your seat and a bar. I enjoy plays that travel off Broadway, but most of all, I enjoy the Akron Symphony. The acoustics are very good. Occasionally Ill attend a concert, like Bob Dylan or Yo-Yo Ma, great venue for that. Its a gem for Akron, something to be proud of!

Enjoyed a great Joshua Bell and the Academy of St Martin of Fields Orchestra concert. Our seats toward the middle of row L provided a good view of the entire orchestra and we could hear every instrument.

Honestly just typed it into the GPS and drove here. Its part of the University of Akron. Super clean campus here despite the area surrounding it. Very friendly staff, students, and teachers ♡

Super hot in the upper level. Uncomfortably so. Was a major distraction during the symphony. No center aisle means a lot of asking people for pardons when trying to get to your seat. Can’t select your seats when you purchase tickets. My son and I drove from south bend, IN for a symphony and would heavily reconsider in the future

It is small enough to have a good seat no matter where you sit but still has a big theatre feel. The acoustics are great and the performances schedule has been wonderful. Loved The 4 Italian Tenors!

This place has seen its day, but its time to take it down and build a more convenient facility. The bathrooms are in the basement, the seating is too steep, the exits are few, and the view if sitting on the far side in the nose bleed section by the door is Horrible. My first and last time as I went for a graduation, and because the isles arent split up people kept walking in front of us. Beware when you come here and dont drink any liquids.

Great place for a concert. Acoustics are great and any seat would be good. Use the restroom before you get settled as they are not convenient. Also seats are in very long rows and difficult crawling over lots of people in the dark.

Great hall and shows. Even views from the nosebleeds have good views. Good shows to see for decent prices.

Wonderful show tonite. Fiddler on the roof I have never had a bad seat. Stage visible from everywhere and sound loud and clear. Would have five stars if restrooms werent downstairs.

Lighting and sound system was great. Wish they sold some type of food. Only pretzels, candy, and alcohol

Excellent acoustics! Saw Bob Dylan! THE best performance he has ever given! Thanks Bob! No photos. ...not allowed! : (

We saw the Eagles Tribute band and loved them. The Akron Symphony orchestra accompanied and was fantastic!!

Its a great venue for Danse. Parsons Dance Company presented a Dazzling performance after spending a week in workshops with dance students at Akron College!

An Answer From Akron is a movie featuring citizens of Akron who tell the story of how Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc became the first black organization to build affordable housing for low income families. The movie will be shown on PBS Channel at a later date. I encourage everyone to see this movie. It is a real eye opener.

Were practicing for a concert Saturday night. Its a great facility.

The Akron Symphony Orchestra did a fantastic job with Vivaldi last. It was very warm in the hall, though.

Love the venue, always have, ever since I tended bar there in the 90s. Hasnt changed much since then, but still has a lot of appeal. Acoustics are phenomenal, and all the seats have great views. I wish the show was better, but not the halls fault. Nostalgia still wins out here.

Not very accessible for handicap patrons. Hard to maneuver elevators to get to certain areas, one accessible from what we could find. Just way too difficult. Need more elevators and accessible areas.

This is an excellent place to see a show. Sightlines and acoustics are great, the architecture is very unique. The hall can feel very cozy and intimate with the cieling down and can be a full size 3 tier hall with the cieling up, a very interesting effect. The plaza and fountain are very beautiful.

Nice place, very convenient parking. Very classy place.

Great venue! Amazing acoustics for any type of concert

Splendid Auditorium! Good acoustics, without echos. Only thing... Takes a few flights to reach a restroom, but not important enough to lessen rating.

Excellent facility, able to adapt for very large or very small performance groups.

Weird layout. But a fun experience

The four Itialian Tenors were great. EJ is a special venue.

Tuba Christmas! A holiday tradition

One of the best venues in the area for live theatrical and musical performance. Exceptional management and technical staff.

Great venue. Excellent acoustics.

Nice place and they have a lot of shows

It is an amazing place to see concerts etc

Great Hall, but a little dry sounding.

Nice clean venue. Attended a graduation here and it was wonderful!

Chrissie Hynde brought her band The Pretenders to her home town of Akron. She stated that she always gets nervous when playing for her home town but at 66, Chrissie looked and sounded fantastic!

I like this venue because it is small. There is not a bad seat in the house. The architecture of the building both inside and out is amazing. The parking deck is also very convenient. Helpful staff to answer all questions are posted everywhere.

Large and really nice concert hall. Unique seating arrangement (you enter only from the sides) means theres no aisles and consequently limited up and down during the show.Sound was great.Parking was very convenient.

Seats offer easy viewing.

Good venue for many different events. Great Broadway in Akron series. All kinds of shows for all kinds of tastes rock, country, symphony, you name it they have it.

Beautiful theater..easy in and out

Always a great venue. This time for a dance competition. Beyond the Stars. Great kids, great teachers. The seating is excellent. Parking is attached to the building. Sound is great. Easy in and out. Wouldnt hesitate to go here for any event.

Akron Symphony Orchestra! Wonderful!

Easy access and parking.

Fairly inconvenient to park, poor signage inside, uncomfortably warm inside the theater.

Very nice place with plenty of parking.

Nora bad seat anywhere main floor

Great place to see a show

Long rows, beautiful, great acoustics

Went there for an AA dance during Founders Day dont know nothing else about the place

A good size venue that feels intimate. Not a bad seat in the house! Bathrooms are somewhat inconvenient to get to.

I live in the Cleveland area and ventured to EJ Thomas Hall this past week. Boy, was it worth the drive! The facility is GORGEOUS and has a very modern flair. They brought in some amazing talent for a very fair price (less than $30 per ticket), and Im sure other venues might charge double for the same type of high-quality performance. Everyone had a blast, and after the concert was over, the venue offered special refreshments to celebrate the evening. The whole audience was engaged, and my husband is still talking about the event to his co-workers days later. He isnt even much of a live music person, so for him to talk about how great a performance was is quite unusual. We were also pleased to find plenty of parking options, including a lot that offers free weekend and evening pricing that is only about 1/2 of a mile from the venue. Also, we were able to take our two children to the event since the venue allows well-behaved, quiet kids. I cant wait for my next trip to EJ Thomas! It was a truly exquisite experience.

Great venue.

Very nice. Comfortable. Awesome acoustics!! Great place for graduations

Saw the dirty dancing production. Was fantastic. Really nice venue!

Wonderful Venu. The seating is very accommodating. I dont think theres a bad seat in the auditorium. We saw the Moody Blues here, too. It was great. DWTS was awesome!

Still a nice place, just hard to navigate thru. Uninformed staff, no one could seem to point me in the right direction. Nice bathrooms though

Nice venue, easy and inexpensive parking; not a fan that there arent aisles to break up the rows

Seating is comfortable with ample room. I enjoy seeing shows here.

This is a fantastic sub-venue of The University of Akron. Most universities would give their eye teeth to have this be a part of their campus.I have to add that most of these reviews look contrived in favor of the facility.

What a great theatre! I love that it isnt very expensive for most shows.

NICE!!!

Graduation is fun. Havent been here in 7 years.

Great sound quality good for any live show.

Really enjoyed The University of Akrons production of The Vagina Monologues. Proceeds benefit local rape crisis centers.

Not really a bad seat in the house, but next time ill spend the extra to get closer. Under balcony sound isnt great

Saw Wynton Marsalis there, need I say more.

Everything was well organized for my sons graduation

Very large concert hall on the University of Akron campus. Many shows held here, including many Akron U. Concerts and events.

Nice theater...small but cozy

Nice enough but lacking, concessions do not accept credit cards, 1 ATM that is out of service, they really need to update

I just do

Amazing

Awesome

Founders day meeting, history of the big book

Acoustically sound and great venue for concerts

Seating is horrible. Over priced. If you have to get up to go to the rest room and you are in the middle. Everyone in that row has to stand up

Big place

The acoustics are fantastic

Cinderella was magical!

Beautiful facility

Old but still nice!
