I visited this Theater for the first time and I did not have a good experience at all. The staff at the theater was horrible and treated us like criminals. Telling us to back up and then come to the door again when it was showtime. The family and friends of the children that were performing were humiliated because we had a Scad Staff member yell and demean us. This was not the Southern experience we all were looking for. The conditions outside was horribly hot over 100 degrees and we had water to stay hydrated that we bought from home. And some things were said in reference to us not bringing water in the building. That was not kind! Climate conditionds were hot to the ectreme so we needed that water. Leopold next door gave there customers ice cold water for the people waiting in line to come in there place of business. And to my disappointment when we entered the theater we could not even purchase a drink of water. The atmosphere was cold and we all felt unwanted. I would hate to think that it was because it was because of the color of our skin. I feel so bad inside my soul that I fear I don't ever want to come back again. The event was for the kids. Rebecca Padgett School of Performing Arts. Sat July 30 and Sunday July 31st and on Sunday July 31st was a sad day for family and friends that showed up for this show. The show was AWESOME!!!!. The kids performance was wonderful but the Tall white(Did not get his name) male that works for scad on Sunday that came outside to yell at us needs to be fired. He should not talk to people that are helping him to get paid in that way. The people that were in line paid there hard earned money to see this performance and it was the people at the venue; scad employee that made it horrible. And your security only secured the door and people entering the door and nothing else. I know you have to make sure that everyone is safe but dam I felt I Ike I was walking through prison door. The Scad theater has definitely lost the support of my family and friends. Goodluck in making it better for all people not just one race. Oh and Scad employees scanning the kids right before they dance in the isles was disgusting and cruel and yes we saw that too. They were seconds away from performing for us and they were humiliated too. Really Children! You should be ashamed...
Read moreOne of the coolest places in downtown Savannah. This theater is great - there is always something awesome happening here. Whether it is the Savannah Film festival, a live play, concert, or an old movie - it is always a favorite place to go. I think it is wonderful that Savannah and the art school have preserved this wonderful building. The accoustics are great despite stepping back in time when here. I have seen South Pacific, Bye Bye Birdie, and Oklahoma here - totally awesome. Most recently there was a showing of the original Muppet movie. Plus afterwards you can go to Leopold's for ice...
Read moreFirst of all, it’s a poorly designed theatre. Especially since it’s owned by a school that prides itself on its creativity and design abilities. I say this because the screen is so low you can’t see the bottom part if someone who’s not a baby sits infront of you. This issue is an easily solvable one and I’m sure the “bright” minds that own and operate this establishment can easily achieve this. If this isn’t reason enough the movie was delayed by 15+ minutes on accounts of “people were late”. What a joke. The one star is for the management who ensured a smooth transition into the theatre without...
