Academy Theatre

⁵⁄₅ stars for a small town theatre. For years I’d drive by this theatre, wondering what it would be like on the inside. Well I had the luxury of seeing this classy, cozy, small and slightly dated theatre, where a family member performed in a play. It was a fun experience. Seating was quite spacious and comfortable at this theatre in comparison to the crowded seating that is sometimes less comfortable in the professional setting like those in bigger cities. See the photo :)
The outside of the theatre with the bright lights, and the letter board make me feel like I’ve stepped back in time. It’s quite tasty I think and attractive. See my photo.
The front entrance is small, and can get slightly crowded, but no one is in a rush. It’s the theatre and you’re there for fun. So enjoy the décor, and the old fashioned ticket booths, it’s a really cool experience. Again, take a peak at the photos.
The main hallway again is not abundant in space, but maneuvering around all the intrigued spectators was easy enough. You won’t get lost. There’s a small concession stand in the main hallway right by the entrance to the upper balcony. Just outside of the doors to the theatre on a wall, is a nice collection of names commemorating the hard work of producers and writers and the like over the years. Quite nice I thought.
Men’s bathroom is downstairs and somewhat small be warned with two stalls and two urinals. There is a wheelchair accessible washroom on the main level.
I think you’d enjoy your time if you’re in town seeing anything here. Pretty fun place for the town of Lindsay.
