I too attended the Ruffs Endz concert and was highly disappointed with the organizer of this event. The event did not advertise that there would be several acts prior to the Ruffs Endz performance which was scheduled to to take place at 8 pm instead they performed at 9:30. Additionally the venue was not prepared for the event on time. The Bartender did not arrive on time nor did the liquor. While the alcohol was high grade there were only two mixers offered(coke and cranberry juice) which were not appropriate mixers for many of the liquors available. The drinks were served in a paper coffee cup, tacky. Now back to the show. The MC spoke about the black legends who had graced the stage and the history of the venue , it’s prominence in the black movement but this concert was the opposite! We had VIP tickets which meant we sat in the first 3 rows of the venue and received one drink ticket. When the show finally started a videographer blocked our view and proceeded to film the first act in front of our seats! We asked her to move but she did not. The female rapper and her back up dancers also arrived late and were not a good addition to the show. Next more stalling by the MC who I did not mind but where is Ruffs Endz? Then a young male rapper with his crew hits the stage again why? A young lady then sits in the front row and gets up in her cutout black dress and bends up and wiggles her butt at us and then at the rapper, yelling praises! We later learn she is a friend of the promoter.While Ruffs Ends’ performance is great the concert itself is classless and poorly organized. I too tried to leave and asked for my money back but was encourage to stay. I should have left .

PAMS NOTARY

This place is responsible for a lot of smiles. It has been a staple in the community for decades. Great performances and Summercamp. It serves generations after generations. It is a great place to visit.

I really enjoyed the energy of the show. Everyone did a wonderful job. I didn't know what to expect so I thought I'd be seeing a professional play. This was definitely community theater but the spirit was everything! I would have given it a five star rating but sadly they advertised a soul food buffet with a VIP ticket. In reality, the soul food buffet was not a buffet. You were handed a tray with either 3 ribs or 2 pieces of chicken (no sides.) As a vegetarian, I count on the sides. I was forced to buy $7 nachos like they give you at the movie theater. They would not comp me even though I could not eat the food I had already paid for because it was all meat. They would be better off not serving hot food there as all the meat eaters I was with were equally disappointed with the false advertising. None of us got what we paid for unfortunately.

I came to see The Wiz. The show itself was wonderful the actors were excellent however the theater itself was in complete disrepair. The conditions of the restroom and the overall theater were deplorable. I can't believe they're running shows out of this building. I came with a large group of about 14 ladies as celebration of a 50th birthday, but we will not be back. It's such a shame because the show was excellent.
