Intimate atmosphere; great audiences; and the best family and couple programming around.

the history of this building and the local and traveling groups who perform here are incredible. Always something going on! And after the renovation, it is a spectacle to see.

They did a phenomenal job in resurrecting this old downtown theater. Great venue. My only complaint would be that it is almost underutilized. How about some blues bands?

Great place to attend performances! It's just big enough that you don't feel like you are on top of everybody else,but it still keeps that inimate feeling that is great not only for the audience, but for the performers themselves.

Saved from becoming another beer parlor and lovingly restored by the generosity of community donations to a beautiful, historical venue, suitable for many types of performances.

They really fixed this theater up. I saw the first show since they reopened here, "A Christmas Carol". Iowa City has got to be proud. Hope everyone gets a chance to vist many times.

Sometimes the Englert shows movies on the old big-screen. They are worth checking out. Can't say much for the other stuff.
