Running three theaters in Tacoma - The Pantages, The Rialto, and Theater on the Square - The Broadway Center for the Performing Arts has made downtown Tacoma a great place to go catch a show. The Pantages Theater and The Rialto Theater have both been restored to their original splendor and Theater on the Square is a marvel of modern architecture. Clearly these guys have no agenda beyond bringing culture to the area and preserving history of Tacoma.

The Broadway Center for the Performing Arts made me realize that I wouldn't cry quite as hard as I thought I would if I were forced to move to Tacoma. Actually, with the plethora of good vintage and antique stores in the neighborhood and all sorts of new restaurants to try and waterfront to explore you may just see more Tacoma Yelps from me.

While the Center brings in some wonderful talent to show in the downtown area, I can't give it full kudos.  The restoration process of the old buildings did not include making provision for handicap other than the bare minimum.  People in walkers and larger individuals will find it tough going.  The only wheelchair areas were in the last row.  

I asked for a chair with no arms or some other seating solution when I found the seats too narrow for me to sit.  The management told me they had nothing I could use.  When I chose to sit on the dusty, dirty floor instead of suffer through the pain of the seats, they asked me to leave.
