What a great venue to host performances and theatre. It’s cozy… not too big… not too small. Just right. The staff was extremely professional and friendly. You can tell the staff was well trained and got the job done.
It was a little warm and wished it was a little cooler but I run a little hot. Seats were clean and carpet well vacuumed. The sound system was excellent and no cheap theater smell.
Overall a very classy place without being pretentious. Would certainly go to another performance here.

Very beautiful venue, well staffed and much more intimate than your typical theater. The chairs are smaller and closer than other theaters. The lobby has a bar and is pretty small. Parking is not easy – come early and plan to spend $15-20. The parking at Embassy Suites hotel is probably your best bet. Overall, a neat experience and worth a visit!

I absolutely love the Cowles Center and the performances I have attended there, including last night’s performance of Cabarave! Although this is year marks the sixth performance of Cabarave, this is my first time attending! It is an amazing show with varied types of performances and even some audience participation! There was fire, tap dance, silks, arielists, hip hop, rap, pole dancing, performance art and much much more! There was even performances in the lobby at the act breaks! The price point for the Cowles Center is always amazing! The tickets last night were $35 for a full two hour show! I will definitely be returning time and time again!
