I have loved the many shows and events I have attended at the BCT. They always book quality entertainment and events, which make for a night to remember each time!!

Took the family to see Newsies, the Disney musical, for Christmas. This quaint little theater is in great shape and restored nicely. Overall a fun experience but found it difficult to hear the actors over the orchestra and will probably sit farther away on my next visit.

The BCT is a great place to watch intimate shows from theater, dance or music. They also show classic movies throughout the year. The concession stand offer reasonably priced items and customer service is always great. Its located in the main Bloomington hub, near many shops, restaurants and bars

This historic theater is a treasure! The natural acoustics are lovely. Its operated by wonderful people who really care about the arts. Dont skip the concessions--most of the offerings are local! Pro-tip: Use the bathrooms on the top floor--lots of stalls and no line! Check out the cool history/art while youre up there.

Outstanding location, clean, well maintained, great staff. Nice to know this gem is right here. Will be back, Im sure there will be plenty of other shows I would love to see for the chance to support this great local theater.

Beautiful wedding, nice place for a wedding.

Great small theater atmosphere. Great sound quality, friendly staff. Would go to another show here for sure.

Just saw May Kearney there. Loved the venue, loved the show. Not a bad seat in the place.

Great place. I saw Kenny Aronoff play and speak here. It was pretty cool

The Buskirk-Chumley is one of Bloomingtons gems. We visited on Wednesday, November 6th and attended Gregory Alan Isakov with Luke Sital-Singh opening up. It was a special evening with some amazing musicians playing some soulful sonic lyrical masterpieces. The acoustics in the theatre were outstanding and it was nice to feel the drums in my chest. Great job staff and it was nice running into Mr. Austin, one of the best band teachers in Monroe County. ;) Hes a great musician in his own regard.

The holiday show is a big hit every year and “Newsies” this past December was no different. Very entertaining and performed well!

Great event space and everyone wants you to enjoy yourself. Had a great time watching Casablanca!

The show was amazing as well as lighting. Seats felt ok.However concession is super pricey. 2 dollars for a can of soda and 4 dollars for a small bag of gummy bears. Like I said good show, however probably not the absolute best theater Ive been to.

Its a nice theater. Its small and the seating can be a bit cramped when moving through the aisles, but still quite nice

Lovely theater, good acoustics. Loved seeing Janis Ian; my music idol.

The Buskirk Chumley is an amazing theater to go to. This is an historical building with a gorgeous interior. The inside of the Buskirk Chumley is elegant and classy. If youve never been you at least need to go once in your life. They have all kinds of events going on at the Buskirk Chumley. From Dancing With the celebrities to the Martin Luther King jr Celebration! I highly recommend checking out the Buskirk Chumley. The staff are always extremely nice.

Really nice albeit older theatre. Great prices on drinks and snacks for a concert. Great venue for the Justin Furstenfeld (Blue October) solo show.

Buskirk-Chumley Theater popcorn pop are not good old popcorn

Quaint and charming, loved the connected coffee and candy shop. Sound quality was decent and the seating was comfy. Parking is questionable but overall it was an alright experience.

Kenny Aronoff February 27, 2020. Great show!

Amazing staff. The theatre is personable and welcoming. They do their best to accommodate. Their wide selection of shows means its worth checking out what is going on here every week. Unfortunately Covid-19 seems to have hit them hard and they barely have any shows for 2020. I just wish more things were happening here.

Great old time theatre experience!!

If youre coming to see the orchestra, the best seats are in the balcony, second or third row.

Old downtown theater being preserved by concerts and great events like the Dog Film Festival. I LOVED the Toni Morrison documentary I saw last night!!

Nice place, parking sucks, but thats Bloomington, great staff, comfortable Atmosphere, bathrooms are small.

Buskirk-Chumley is amongst the best places in Bloomington. Ive enjoyed great events there and here are some reviews:Wide variety of events from musicals to movie screenings and to concerts..Widely known artists from across the US and even from world taking stage..Great staff helping you with anything at their bestDesign of the theatre allowing you a clear eye sightAffordable ticketsHowever, I should include that the bakery next to the theatre (only place you can enter food inside) does not give a variety of foods. Their chocolate is good though :D

Great place! Very cool old fashioned theater with a fantastic lineup of movies and events. Also a wide selection of food and drinks.

Great theater with really diverse shows and community events. Bloomington is lucky to have it.

Great atmosphere. Not a bad seat in the house. Local concessions.

Would have been awesome if I could hear, people behind us never shut up.

Beautiful and clean historic theatre with a welcoming and friendly (volunteer) staff. What a great place to see a show.

Great spot for a concert. Acoustics were phenomenal.

Great little theater.

I typically visit the Buskirk Chumley to hear the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra play. I use will-call, which has its own entrance to the left of the front doors. Once inside you can enter the theater by walking up the few stairs at the back of that room. The service is always exceptional and the wide variety of their offerings make the downtown an exciting place to be.From greeters at the door, to the ticket takers and concessions; everyone is cheerful and friendly. The building itself is exquisite. It has been around since the early 1920’s and has a wonderful Art Deco feel to it.For those of you with accessibility needs:It is important to note that there is some handicapped seating on the first floor (orchestra level) and you will be able to navigate from the road to your seat, as well as restrooms with no stairs to grapple with. There is no elevator or powered doors in the building. To use the will-call, you’ll need to enter the door to the left of the Buskirk Chumley, collect your tickets and then go out that same door to be able to enter. I hope you have a wonderful time!#accessible #arts #theater #btown

It was wonderful being able to bring our dog into the theater for a special dog theater show!! Staff was kind and helpful.

Small and intimate stage with a great view from anywhere in the room!

Very nice old theater. Got to see Star Wars on the big screen again. The kids loved it

Great little theater! Lots of history and nice decor. Slightly dated but thats kind of what gives it character. Larger than it seems at first.

Great local theater with lots of events and a fun atmosphere.

Intimate old time theatre. Not a bad seat in the house. Located in downtown Bloomington. Perfect for a night out - grab dinner and a show.

One of my favorite venues in all of Indiana. Creates such an intimate setting for shows!

Had the ultimate pleasure of seeing The Mountain Goats and this was the perfect venue for the experience. My 15 year old son had one of the bests nights of his life at the show.

Went to see Beauty and the Beast on the 29th with my daughter and girlfriend and was very impressed with the play and the theater! Very, very clean inside and seats were soft and comfortable. I enjoyed the helpful staff and the overall ambiance. I would definitely attend again!

Great Venue, not a bad seat in the house.

Great historical theater. Quality sound.

Enjoyed movie. Nice atmosphere. Good people working the theater

Ive been to the Buskirk-Chumley theater for a couple of events. The one minor negative is the small common area for refreshment sales. The seating is comfortable, seats are reserved, and staff are incredibly helpful. This is a small community space which is focused on community presentations. Every town should have this.

Beautiful old theater. For as old.as the theater it is in great conditionWould love to see a play etc..

The acoustics and lines of sight to the stave were wonderful.

Great concert (Los Lonely Boys). Great venue. Music very good but a little too much volume.

Nice venue for music, movies, or plays. Right in the heart of Btown.

I love everything about this place️

It was nice, the seats were hard for me to set in since Im so tall.

Cute theater with a great view of the stage from anywhere you sit.

Any seat is a great seat cant miss

Beautiful historic theater! Maybe next time Ill have more freedom to peruse the historical displays on the second floor.

We loved the Christmas celebration!

Wonderful setting for all types of entertainment

Small, intimate concert setting

Awesome place. My brother works there. We saw a show while we were there visisting.

I was a volunteer for the Wild and Scenic Film Festival. It was a fun event and a good cause.

They put on a great production in everything they do.

Nice venue and there is not a bad seat in the house.

Beautiful theatre, friendly staff.

This is a wonderful auditorium/ theater for an up close and personal audience. After seeing Les Miserables in spacious halls and then a few years ago at the Buskirk-Chumley, I was amazed at the difference. The audience almost felt as if they were at the barricades.

Newsies was fantastic! A must see!

The BCT is a Bloomington institution. A great place to watch intimate shows for more alternative artists. They also show several classic movies throughout the year. The concession stand offer reasonably priced items and customer service is always great. I love going there with friends and family and its located in the main Bloomington hub, near many restaurants.

Great place for theater performances

Such an intimate concert experience. The staff were very nice and helpful.

This is a small.but good venue. ,for hearing concerts. I imagine plays would do well here too. Ive been there during lotus fedt and acoustics were good ,for colombian band and I suppose other bands. Most recently enjoyed a symphony event ,which was excellent.

Great environment and volunteers. Their is always something to go to at the Buskirk.

Awesome Vintage Theater. Really cool building!

Great venue for an intimate evening of music.

Very clean great staff, enjoyable experience

New in town so looking for things to do. Have thoroughly enjoyed two events at Buskirk-Chumley. Nice venue small enough to make all seats good and some great. Plan on participating in many more events and getting more involved with this theatre.

Saw the Robert Cray Band for the second time here, great venue!

Madlib (aka: The Beat Konducta, Quasimoto, DJ Rels, Malik Flavors, Yesterdays New Quintet, The Loop Digga, Madlib the Bad Kid) was here!Fri. Mar. 13, 2015Such a memorable moment.Thank you Stones Throw Records!

We saw Beauty and the Beast. It was so much fun.

Just saw Cardinal Theatres Frankenstein there. They also do a great job of featuring old movie classics, which I would love to see happen more often.Great venue!

Beautiful old restored theater.

Wonderful production of Beauty and the Beast. Tickets are very reasonable.

Very cool classic theater with great acoustics and comfortable seating. I saw Ben Folds perform here in February 2017, and this was the perfect venue for an intimate performance. The speciality drinks were great, too! Thanks, Cardinal Spirits!

Great place for intimate shows

This is a local favorite. Always something neat going on here! Great shows and great people!!

Really nice place, a bit hard to find parking close to the building. It ended up being only a give minute walk of so, which isnt that bad.

Have a chrismas story musical be the next show holiday show

Great venue for concerts! Not a bad seat. I have always set in balcony...lower & upper...and not disappointed. Also, are venue for other events.

Charming theater with a nice variation of classic movies. Very clean inside, reasonable prices on snacks, local beer, wine, and food. Ok sound. Great idea for a date night or small group. Oh yeah, and theres a balcony!

All seats are great, and the popcorn is good too!

Very nice venue I rate it up there with deer Creek

Such a beautiful building and the staff has always been friendly and helpful.

The Pride Film Festival was Fabulous!
