Robinson Grand Performing Arts Center — Attraction in Clarksburg

Wonderful first experience at the Robinson Grand Performing Arts Center with a beautiful concert by Paul Cardall. Incredible music, an inspiring life story, and lots of humor thrown in for good measure made this a superb evening. For such a renowned pianist to play here - who had just played at the White House Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony- and to hear him first-hand locally, was a true delight and honor.

The renovations to the facility are truly remarkable, and this has become a shining star for Clarksburg. If you’re wanting more leg room, make sure to sit in the orchestra section on the ground floor, as the seats in the balcony are a bit tight. Restrooms are on either side of the concession stand. Lots of Hollywood, movie star, and motion picture memorabilia decorate the walls, nooks, and crannies of the lobby, halls, and stairways. Not a bad seat in the house, with clear unobstructed views...

What a great place to see some history; from their website ~ The historic Robinson Grand Theater first opened its doors in 1913 at 444 West Pike Street in downtown Clarksburg. It became a hub of cultural activity for residents of Harrison County and beyond. The Robinson Grand was the thirteenth theater in the United States to be wired for sound (1927) and in its heyday was home to movies, plays, wedding receptions and even the Miss West Virginia Pageant.

If you are Clarksburg and have a chance to see a play, stop by and enjoy.

Parking across the street from the entrance, concessions to be had and clean restrooms. Comfortable seating with plenty of legroom.

I had an absolute grand time and...

This is quite a grand theater restored back to it's beauty of the olden days with several modern touches. I would've loved to give it full 5 stars and a full blown glowing review, except for one aspect that may matter for taller people - the legroom between rows in the balcony seating is quite narrow, so ur bumping into the back of the row in front of you so if theater gets packed then it might not be too comfortable.

Other than that, the consessions are quite affordable, bathrooms are spotless, seats are quite new and the inside view is grand. It feels great to be at this theater. Also looks like weekend, late evening street parking is free in Clarksburg. (Pls verify...
