The theater department at Simpson College is always fun. The students are well talented and professional.

It was a great opportunity for my granddaughter and loved the energy of the band director. I havent heard or seen that energy in a music director since my daughters were in band when we lived in Iowa.

I visited recently to see DMMOs productions of Candide and La Boheme and thought it was a very interesting space. The shows are very different, but they were able to create incredibly unique scenery for both shows. At one show I was closer to the front, and another show, I was near the back - and I feel like any seat in the space is a good one. I could hear clearly and see all of the action without any distraction. The staff was helpful and extremely polite, and the seats were also pretty comfortable. The only drawbacks I see are that there isnt a middle aisle for the seating, so if you are on one of the ends (like I was at one of the shows), youll have to wait for the entire row to show up before sitting... or be content with the stand & shimmy for everyone to get by. Also, parking is a bit of a mess, but get there early and there shouldnt be any problem.

Easy access. Viewing is great. Spectacular performances.

Truly up close theatrical experience, well acoustically designed.

Great venue with good acoustics and no bad seats.

Perfectly intimate performing arts center

The three opera weekend brings us to this fine facility. Excellent visability from the very back to the far sides. Plus good rest rooms.

We attend professional opera there every summer. Great experience as its not a proscenium stage & action can be nearly in your lap.

A beautiful performing arts space to see Des Moines Metro Opera. The stage is really unique with the pit right in the center. A great way to see theatre

Attended opera just 10 days after knee replacement surgery. Ushers were so remarkably helpful with re-seating need.

Very nice venue, good parking.
