The Civic Theater is run as a Non-Profit and I frankly don't know how many theaters in the US are the same. Certainly not Broadway.

I have to wonder why the acoustics are so abysmal. It would seem to make no sense to design a venue for musical theater without considering such topics but it's clear they didn't or they simply failed.

Interestingly, I've been told that the theater had a backstage fire a year or two back and many had hoped that the theater would be destroyed. Hopes dashed, sad to say.
