Weinberg Center For the Arts

Came here to see the Daniel Tiger Show, it was fine but the staff does not seem to like children and they have an odd «old people» crankiness to them. My 2 year old kept saying Mama I am so excited! I am so excited! In the lobby and an older ticket taker admonished him to use inside voices, just as she heard me say ok guys lets remember our inside voices. She literally repeated me a second later. Kind of weird. I pulled out my cell phone during the show to check the time and one woman usher ran up and barked at me to stop taking pictures. So weird. I’m not sure I’ve ever had someone talk to me like that before…

My first time here was for a children’s play– Clifford. I was pleasantly surprised at the theatre– it’s older and ornate, but has been kept up, and they are doing some renovations as well.
It was well-​staffed with attendents, who were all very helpful. And the play itself was great for kids. My daughter felt so special going to see a real play, in such a special theatre.
For my part, I liked the $ 2 concessions and the fact that they served alcohol in the lobby :) I also appreciated the very reasonable parking garage right behind the theatre on Court Street… although the line to get out after the show was a little long.
We have tickets for another children’s show in January, we’re looking forward to it!

I love this beautiful theater. I’ve been there several times and enjoyed the intimate vintage beauty of the venue. I found the ushers and ticket personnel to be joyful helpful and enjoying their job. I drive from King George VA to enjoy this treasure. Wishing we had such a gem closer but am happy to commute!!! Thank you for keeping this experience affordable and consistently worthwhile!

This is a nicely renovated old vaudeville theater with a balcony section. It is not the most comfortable seating and while they serve beer and wine in the lobby, they don’t let you take it to your seat.
But we have enjoyed live performances, silent films with a nearly one-​of-​a-​kind organ accompaniment, and guest speakers.
If you park in the garage next door, the side exits go directly into the garage. This is nice on a raining night.

A good friend had her police academy graduation here. The AC was broken, and had been 10 days before the ceremony. Is the city so cheap it can’t afford to fix the AC for the ceremony of these brave men and women? How about a bake sale? There were a lot of senior citizens in that 80+ degree heat and some had to leave early. The refreshments afterwards, punch and cardboard cake, were pathetic. Frederick, you should be ashamed for the way you treated these officers.

Came here for a comedy show (Bill Burr). Definitely a nicely decorated theater in Frederick. Everything went well, though I wish we could have taken beverages in to enjoy the show with. In addition, it was a cold evening, but there was something wrong with the heat. It got really hot and stuffy about halfway through the show and remained that way. Other than that, a fairly good experience!

I can understand the historical significance of the theatre, but I would assume that those paying $$ to come here are responsible enough to not pour their wine on the seats and ruin the upholstery.
I would have enjoyed drinking a beverage whilst seeing Paula Poundstone. Especially since the show was over 2 hours long.
I probably won’t come back here again due to the ‘no beverages allowed’, as well as how cramped I felt (the rows lack leg room and I’m only 5’6″).
Not as enjoyable as it could have been.

Went again to watch a Flying Dog presentation o Ghostbusters for Halloween. They had $ 4 beers as well as mixed drinks at the bar and ppl were dressed up in some fun costumes.
It was a fun alternative to staying at home. $ 7/​ticket. $ 4/​beer. Watching an old classic on a big screen was a blast. The audience also cheered and booed at parts of the film making it very casual and fun.
Only down side was that their popcorn was super salty!
