Great looking historic landmark with great acoustics. The ushers are very helpful and polite. I did have trouble when I called the main number. The staff member was rude and inconsiderate. But I persevered and ordered my ticket online. For a fairly cool evening the theater was uncomfortably warm. Best not to wear a blazer unless you like being hot. Seating is cramped for taller people. There is no free parking in this part of town and you will have a bit of a walk but its ok. I will probably return.

This was my first time here, and my husband and I saw The Nutcracker! It was a wonderful ballet, but the balcony seating was very uncomfortable. There is not enough room to put anything (coat, purse, etc.). For those sitting in the middle of the row, everyone had to get up and move out of the row to let them in. Its a tight squeeze! The snacks sold in the lobby were extremely expensive, and they only allow water in the theater. Otherwise, it was a great experience and we would go back!

Originally the Carolina Theater (movies), it is now operated by UNC School of the Arts and is the primary performance venue in downtown Winston-Salem. It is a GORGEOUS venue and is teaming with various peformance and rehearsals about 290 days out of the year. Saw the WS Symphony here and my only gripe is the !@$#% seats. They are SOOO close. Other than that, this theater is a premium experience.

I have seen several shows at the Stevens Center performed by UNCSA performers like the Nutcracker. I love the feel of the place no matter if you are seated in the balcony or right near the stage. It is a cultured experience where you can get dressed up and attend events like several decades ago. Clean restrooms and easy ticket ordering process at the box office or online.

Wonderful, old, historical theater! Great stage, sound, lights and staff. The only reason for 4 stars versus 5 is because the seats are very tight. Someone of larger size or built will find it very difficult to be comfortable or possibly fit into the seat. Having said that, they are very accommodating and offer chairs as well as areas for handicap seating.

A rare treat. Renovated beautiful theatre, amazing atmosphere. Some of the best performances in a "local" setting. If you have never been here you need to schedule a weekend trip. Either with the opera or the UNCSA performances. Yes, the seats were designed for an audience of 1929. many years ago.

Beautiful historic center that is part of the North Carolina School of the Arts. I have attended many events here including: Opera Classical music concerts, dance recitals and much more. If you are in Winston-Salem stop by and enjoy the beautiful sounds and sights.

They have some great shows here. Parking can be a little tricky since its downtown, but theres a parking deck nearby if you dont mind paying. Staff is very friendly. Seating is not terribly comfortable and is a little cramped. The theatre is beautiful.

Great venue for a large variety of performances. Affiliated with the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. Home of the Winston-Salem Symphony and Piedmont Opera.

Gray Hall

Wonderful venue in downtown Winston-Salem. It is commonly utilized by the NC School of the Arts which puts on great performances.

The jewel in the crown of downtown winston-salem. Beautifully restored and maintained theatre.

Paul Silverstein

Nice small theater. Cramped seating in the balcony section for anyone taller than 57 though.

David Brehmer

Beautiful old theatre but the balcony is so high and abrupt that it can induce vertigo.

Ben Kornblatt
