Just a few unsolicited notes about your production of the Wiz 12-19-07 from a former concert producer, First your casting of the roles of Dorothy, the Scare Crow, and especially the Lion is excellent. Dorothy seemed like a consummate pro never missed a note and sold us all on her character, she became Dorothy. The Scare Crow was a Richard Prior type who gave his own quality flavor to the character that I really appreciated. The writing was really done well for his personality I laughed spontaneously at most of his quips. From my vantage the Lion was unexpectedly excellent in his performance from his transformation from cowardly humorous vulnerably to protective selfless strength, Even his cavalier response to the poppy girls, the lions acting was so professional that his perfect timing During the dance and action and perfect pitch in the delivery of his songs was a bonus. The little kids were refreshing and the fun they were having transferred to the audience. All of the dancing especially the OZ scene was well choreographed and well timed. Your band laid and excellent foundation for the entire production. I am not a professional critic. I am just a guy who paid 15 dollars to spend a night out enjoying a play with his friends. You knocked us out with a fabulous show, congratulations.

The Rialto Center for the Arts is a class act! All seats are fantastic, and the entertainment rivals the other theater locations in Atlanta. The performances are amazing, and employees are professionals, and it is kept neat and clean.

I came for a GSU Opera performance and found it to be a nice venue which sounded swell from where we were sitting. It was good they had concessions for the intermission because it wasn’t a short performance.

Great downtown Atlanta venue, operated and well managed by Georgia State University.current production of high energy musical "In the Heights" shows off the excellent acoustics, lighting and stage.

Impressed. This is much better that the Alliance or the ASO in midtown. Performances are of a much higher caliber and the Rialtos schedule seems much more appropriate for a city of Atlantas size.

Not a bad seat in the house. The venue was cozy and comfortable. We were there for a dance performance, and the venue didnt disappoint. It isnt a huge venue, but that is what makes it great.

Its part of GA State University, nothing fancy. Be careful if you have a handicapped individual. Not at all handicap friendly. Seats are close together and old.

We attended the Gala Holiday Concert and the show was outstanding. The best part was the Saxophone Grinch part. Also, we had great seats.

Great facility. I attended a fashion show that was held in the lobby area of the theater. Space was adequate. It was a nice facility.
