The Downey Theatre is a very nice small theater. It has seating for at least 1000 but not more. There is a balcony which has nice seats and the floor has has good seating. I don't suggest the front row because it is very close to the stage and your view will be a tad obstructed by that. We were in the 4th row and found it perfect. We later moved to the front row because no one in our row was wearing a mask, and I like breathing. That is how we noticed the front row is just a tad close. The seats are not comfortable and that is why they are getting 4 stars and not 5 and also because they have next to no concessions. The seats, however, are fine. They should be changed out, but they will do. They are not old. I think the theatre was redone just a few years back.Inside is cool and comfortable. The ushers are quite nice and will help you to your seats. You will need tickets for events here so just go to their website and pick what you would like to see. We saw a children's musical which was super fun for my grandson. They also have converts, lectures, and other musicals. Clint Black, a Country star is playing there soon, just as an example. The outside of the building is not special. It is rather boring with brown brick. It does have a lovely fountain through and the lobby is comfortable and they nicely decorate for Christmas. The bathrooms are average. You will find that parking is free in their lot, but that does fill up and then you will need to park, for free, across the street at the High School. It is not difficult and the way venues are now charging outrageous fees to park, I am willing to walk across the street for free and safe parking. The area is very nice. The pricing is quite reasonable for their events. There is really not a terrible seat in the house. Getting tickets is easy on line. You would need to contact them about their box office hours since I bought on line and simply printed out my tickets. At this time they are not requiring proof of vaccination, which I find troubling. They do have a mask mandate in accordance with the law here, but they don't enforce it which I also find troubling. They need to work on that before someone gets sick. The place is very clean and other than the mask issue I felt very safe. I will be back and I hope they can earn that 5th star.
