Macomb Center for the Performing Arts — Attraction in Clinton Township

This is medium size performing arts theater that is fairly intimate in acoustics and viewing. There is plenty of parking and the staff and volunteers are extremely friendly and helpful. My observations are based on attending the Benise concert held on 7/16/2022. My one criticism pertains to the seating. I bought front row seats (row A).

My only complaint is that while the seats offer generous leg room, there is no room for your elbows. Simply put the seats are too close to one another which can make long shows uncomfortable because the arm rests are almost...
