Great theater in a cute little historic town. Saw Wynona Judd she and her band were great. Hope to see more shows here.

Your choice to discriminate against those who are not vaccinated gets you a one star review. Changing your policy and caving in to politics will give you an empty theater. So now we know the Town of Chester is a disgrace, caving in to unconstitutional rules. Smells like a class action lawsuit.

Went there to see the Rhythm of the Dance perform by the dancer from Ireland. The theater is well design and have comfortable seating. This places has various shows for everyone (Broadway's show, concert, Top recording Artists & etc). Best place for relaxing programs. Highly recommended to go.
