The Open Air Theater"s acoustics are always top notch and because of its shape (amphitheatre) the sound carries well. The seating capacity is up to 4600 and offers unobstructed sight lines from almost anywhere due to its steep design.

There is also an extra standing area at the back for two hundred or so more guests especially for those who want to have fun dancing. The surrounding area of the theater is offers grassy parks and benches on its three sides so there is plenty of opportunity for picnicking and eavesdropping.

In fact that had become so popular that at an event, wandering vendors made lots of money selling T-shirts and munchies to outsiders.

Sometimes it also happened that fans sitting on the benches nearest the gate were invited in to be part of an encore.

Although there is no extravagant concession thing but beer and wine is definitely served at shows which are age-appropriate. This place is splendid and people are sure to have loads of fun attending an event here.
