Testimonials

"Thanks for the Arts Council’s support of our Marvtastic Fundraiser last night. The staff was incredibly supportive and welcoming to our guests, and Leo graciously accommodated our tech requests. The location/set-up/lighting was perfect—we could not have pulled the event off without you.  A most sincere thanks!"

Producing Artistic Director of North Carolina Black Repertory Company 

"From the very beginning, the setup was exactly as we envisioned, it matched the floor plan we submitted perfectly. It was such a relief to walk in and see everything laid out just the way we’d planned. Everyone was prompt and on time, which truly set the tone for a seamless and enjoyable day. Having you on-site throughout the day provided an extra level of comfort. We appreciated your check-ins from the morning all the way through to the time we packed up and exited the building. Your presence, attentiveness, and support meant a lot to us. We also want to commend the check-in staff, who were prompt, professional, and personable, just like you. It made such a difference in the flow of the day and the experience for our guests. We are incredibly thankful that we decided to stay with this venue. It was the perfect choice, and you all helped make our day truly memorable."

The theater looked absolutely stunning, and the quality of the light and sound setup exceeded our expectations. It created the perfect atmosphere for our performers and audience alike, enhancing the overall experience for everyone involved. 

Please extend my heartfelt thanks to the entire theater staff who played a part in making our recital such a success. Your professionalism and can-do attitude were truly appreciated."
