Theatre Macon — Attraction in Macon

My husband & I just went to see Beauty & the Beast for our anniversary. I purchased our tickets online 2 weeks in advance. I was very impressed that I was able to choose our seats because I'd been to other plays where the seats were first come first serve. WELL..we arrived about 30 minutes early & waited in the lobby until the ushers opened the doors. I tried several times to show different people that worked there my tickets on my phone, but they just said "find your seat & let us know if you need help." I THOUGHT that we were in these great seats all by ourselves until 5 minutes before the show the usher comes up to me & asks if she can see my tickets. I had already turned my phone off for the show so I had to turn my phone back on & pull them up..all the while another couple is standing there glaring at me in front of everyone (we were in the front left center of the stage) and the usher proceeds to tell me that those were not our seats..that our seats were ON THE FLOOR literally 2 inches away from the stage & she would have to go get chairs for us to sit in!!! I Was mortified! What's worse is that when the director made his announcements he said to make sure that there was a clear path in front of the stage!!! We got really lucky that there were 2 seats in the front row that were empty so we just took it upon ourselves to sit there. I was fuming. If it were not for my husband talking me down & the play being one of my all time favorites, I would have demanded to get my money back. Word to the wise..make sure that your seats are actual seats before you pay for them!!! I paid $33 for seats that didn't even exist. I donwant tonsay that the actors/actresses did a fabulous job & if it wasn't for them, our anniversary date would have...

The show was great(White Christmas).Came here for my daughter's 14th bday. We had about 8 in our party,for most it was our first time here,we had no idea the size of the theatre or the rules on arrival time.The show started at 2:30.My husband and I walked in at 2:35 because my daughter is in a wheelchair and AFTER helping my mom(her grandmother)unload her and her chair we had to find parking 😱 which made us late entering the building. We were a little upset because we weren't allowed in right away. Basically my "opinion" is,you never know someone's story or what it takes to get from A to B. Not every one has the same at-home story and there's always going to be first timers. The first experience will determine whether or no t they return.So maybe wait a few minutes before starting the show so no one has to miss out on the...

There's this supposed "war" between Theatre Macon and Macon Little Theatre, as well as their staff and regular artists. Not sure if it's true, but the rumor alone is entertaining. Theatre Macon has an open-concept stage and fantastic acoustics. Consequently, the seating gets a bit confusing for audience members. Nice wine/coffee selection during intermission, and they frequently display local art for sale. Performances are spectacular (especially large musicals like Les Mis or the...
