    For what it is--a historic theater--it is great. However, it is so crowded in the lobby during intermission that you can hardly move. Also, when booking touring Broadway companies, they should make sure the groups realize what a small stage they will have. I had such sympathy for some of the performers in recent years who had to modify their dance routines and on-stage activities because of the narrow stage.

    It would be best served for other types of performances (musical acts, one-person shows, comedians, etc.) The Broadway series should be moved to Waco Hall. It would accommodate more people and provide an excellent stage.
