I was in Asheville to celebrate my retirement; a "girls weekend" with daughter-in-law and 13 year old granddaughter. The others had in mind a weekend of spa treatments, shopping, and perhaps a movie. When I found two wonderful productions were at DWT, I was delighted. We attended both, with last tickets in the house (or close to it) for both. We had a marvelous time. The extremely convenient and affordable parking next door made it easy, and we combined theater with excellent dinners both evenings. Ticket process was simple. Though we had obstructed views at the first play (Murder on the Nile), the box office was very clear about that and the discount was appropriate. Theater was attractive, immaculately clean, comfortable, and acoustically quite good. Ushers, helpful and nice. Especially when we had obstructed view.... The usher found three vacated seats for us to move to after intermission. We found the Agatha Christie a little hard to keep up with due to the repertory companys ambitious production (three actors playing 10 characters), but we still enjoyed it. For the second production, DWT had arranged for a wonderful, free pre-show discussion, led by a Shakespeare expert. That was tremendously enriching! Helped my granddaughter jump right into the plot. Wonderful experience.

The only reason they got 3 stars because it was a very clean beautiful theater. Other than that vert disappointing. My wife and I spent $213 on two tickets. At the 15 min intermission we went across the street we were back in 15 minutes and were locked out. And were not allowed to return. Now I understand the locking of the doors for security reasons, but at $213 for 2 tickets I think they should let ticket holders in no matter what the time. So over all my experience with this theater was very poor. I love Asheville though. One of the best downtowns in the country. I would give the downtown area 10 stars if I could rate it.

First time hanging out in Asheville, NC. Went to go see black violin group. It was very nice. Not your usual violin concert but basically hip hop and classical combined. The locals are very nice, definitely will plan for another Asheville trip! The building is currently undergoing renovation and will house 3 different theaters, cant wait to see the finished product it is going to be great!

This place is older, but I like the older theatres. Ive seen at least 5 shows here and while I have mixed reviews of the shows, The space has stayed a favorite. Attached parking garage is a plus in Asheville also.

We saw The Muses of Terpiscorp and loved it. Impressive young talent and choreography. The theatre is very nice and planning renovation and expansion. Cant wait!

Enjoyed this small, excellent acoustics venue during the Moog Fest. Sure wish there was better signage/way-finding. Hard to locate.

Small but lovely space. Really needs to join the 21st century though and have wifi available to performers, guests and patrons.

Not a bad seat in the house of this lovely theater. The Swannanoa Solstice was great as always. A perfect start to the holidays.

Live unfiltered entertainment an antidote for the times we live in. Real people performing live with unconditioned sound.

Simple and basic interior. Not much style but clean as and centrally located. Cash only. :0

Such a great theatre space. Rae Jeffries is a true asset to the arts community in Asheville.
