Wildey Theatre — Attraction in Edwardsville

The venue is generally wonderful with a great variety of acts/performers. The seats are abundant but small and extremely packed together, which is nearly impossible for a tall, broad, or plus size person to enjoy comfortably. There are a few floor level handicap accessible seats. The staff is kind, but the bartender can have explosive anger. If you do speak up well enough you may be misheard.
