Yeah we are pretty lucky. There is a brand new amazing hall for the Opera and Ballet. An amazing symphony hall... the seats are acoustically treated so that the room sounds the same full or empty... and the floor of the stage is like a giant wooden soundboard to amplify the sound. The whole hall is actually floating on giant dampers to completly isolate it. The nicest theater in town is the Children's theater... let's put it this way, the shop is 3 stories tall and about 50X70 feet across and there is a separate shop of equal size for painting. The big adult theater which is about a 5 minute walk away has two theaters as well... and it's a 30 second walk to another large theater. There are three large rental theaters that do everything from one night top commedians to multi-week runs of Broadway touring shows. There are probably about a dozen theaters operations in the area that are moderate to large operations. Then there are easily another 20+ moderately sized community theater operations. Then the list gets a little weird and scary. There is one part of town that has dozens of weird little "theater companies"... it's all pretty weird fringe things but they are there. Then as you get out into the suburbs it all repeats. The big university in town has 3 or 4 theaters. There is a performing arts only college here... and a half dozen other smaller universities and colleges with decent theater programs. In addition to that there are two big outdoor summer concert facilities less than 2 hours away, and 5 large arena venues for everything from tractor pulls to U2 concerts.
Plus Hollywood loves us because within a 2 hour drive you can find almost every climate on Earth... from Fjords to Deserts we have them near bye.
