This is a lovely venue, for some things. I am one of those people who are very glad it was saved for the street view and history and community(even if we do have to suffer the new name to memorialize the donor). But remember it is a restored dated building. It can feel awkward and crowded and sometimes hard to navigate. But for a small concert or play it is wonderfully intimate. I have been to many events there, most recently a play in July. Remember if you have mobility issues you can contact them and have help. I was sorry I did not do that ahead of time when I had an aged friend climb stairs. Good to know for next time.

Went to a wedding here. Great venue, well decorated, comfortable seating, and plenty of room to mingle afterwards.

Magical magical place. Got to see Jens Lekman and Taken by Trees here. Within walking distance to decent amount of restaurants for before or after a show. Easy parking as well.

Beautiful and iconic. The Buskirk is an absolute must for those visiting Bloomington. Very historic theater that we, the citizens, have kept under pristine condition. The paid staff is very minimal. 95% of those that run the Buskirk are volunteers. We drive to keep arts and entertainment alive in this busy society. I live its nonprofit nature, but my favorite part of the Buskirk is its diversity. From top shows like Rufus Wainwright to local shows like the Bloomington Symphony all the way to niche shows like Pride Film Festival or Rocky Horror… the Buskirk has it all.

A fun place to see a speaker, comedian, or concert. Located right in the heart of downtown Bloomington, it’s a beautifully restored theater with a classic marque. There isn’t a bad seat in the house as the space is not too big, and the sound is good. It wasn’t a problem for me, but I’ve heard from taller friends that the seats don’t have much legroom. The theater is attached to BLU Boy so if it’s open you can run next door for ice cream or cupcakes and bring them into the theater.
