Clayton Center for the Arts — Attraction in Maryville

I attended a show here on 6/10/2022. The seats are comfortable and wide enough for those who are larger (a big plus for any venue). The side boxes have chairs while the main theater and balcony have the stadium/theater seats (we sat in the main theater area).

Place is easy to get to but signage is not well displayed.

I would recommend a revisit of how packages are structured for weddings as these events are quite different from most, and to suggest discounts for alumni as I think others would be interested in using this venue.

Thank you to the Clayton Center for hosting such a special,...

We've been here a couple of times but this weekend my Littles dance studio had our recital here. I first want to mention that there was SO much security there. I felt very safe and did not fear for the safety of any of the children or adults running around like crazy. Next I want to mention how kind all the staff was and you could tell they actually enjoy their jobs. They were all so good with all the kids. The whole weekend felt safe and relaxed. Well as relaxed as it could be with dozens of kids and their families lol. This was hands down the very best place we've ever...
