Had a great experience here. Seats were comfortable, space was clean, drinks and concessions reasonably sized and priced, and I loved the aesthetic of the old theater. Highly recommend - well be back!

Frankforts Grand Theater is one of those delightful gems that you discover just off the beaten track.A medium-sized venue dating back to the days of Vaudeville, the Grand has been revived after decades of neglect. When you visit, youll see evidence of a loving restoration still in progress (but nearly complete!). Comfortable seating, great sightlines throughout the house, and a moderately-sized proscenium stage create a lively but intimate atmosphere in which its a thorough pleasure to enjoy live performances.We had the unique pleasure of meeting some members of the projects board of directors who come out to work in the theater during shows. Im terrible at names and sadly failed to record the name of the gentlemen that we spoke to, but they were deservedly enthusiastic about their theater.One of them gave us a tour of the upstairs balcony level (which wasnt open during the show we were seeing),which includes a lovely gallery space and more comfortable seating, well-raked for a great view from every seat. He also gave us a thorough introduction to the Grands history.Concessions are very reasonably priced, with proceeds and tips (eager volunteers staff the stand) going to support the Grands ongoing revitalization. We enjoyed a good-sized prosecco and a medium Diet Coke for $7 (plus $2 for the tip jar that goes to support the project). Patrons may bring their refreshments into the theater (which even offers cup-holders ... perhaps not incredibly elegant, but very useful when you need both hands to applaud!).One last thing: the Grand is located in the heart of Frankforts small but diverse downtown, which is overflowing with local businesses-- artists and artisans galleries, restaurants, cafés, and more. Leave yourself some time to enjoy the local color (and flavors!).We will definitely be returning to visit the Grand and Frankforts vibrant little arts hub, and I recommend both. Whether youre coming from afar or on the briefest staycation, the Grand is well worth the visit.

Easy in and out.You are not far from the stage wherever you set. Chairs are comfortable with plenty of legroom. Not fancy, but pleasant. Walked there after dining at a restaurant just down the street.

Nice theater and the prices are cheaper than that of the regular theaters. There is always some kind of show happening there.

Seats are very tight. Concessions could use some help with planning and organization. Ive seen some good shows there though. I just feel sorry for big folks. I have two male friends who cant go here because they cant fit in the seats. :(

Shows are always great but the chairs are horribly uncomfortable.

Review №23

It tries to bring some culture to this little town and does a good job. A staff of helpful volunteers. No drinks in the theater depending on who is in charge...that needs to go and then they will get five stars. Prices for drinks and popcorn is very affordable comparatively.

Nice little venue for music, movies, plays and more! Historical building. Youll likely walk about a block from where you park unless you are lucky enough to get one of the few closest to the entrance. Wheelchair accessible.

Great venue! Super nice staff. If you get seats too close to the stage the speakers seem to shoot over your head and the sound doesnt seem balanced.

An amazing piece of Downtown Frankfort and its history. I have been to countless ballet recitals and a fantastic concert by local musician Ben Sollee. If you havent been to the Grand Theater, youre missing out!
