Gifted to be around and blessed to be a part of I miss my grandchildren but it's so much easier when you have a sister that pulls out all the stops to look out for you and let you participate in getting out them on outings and show patience and I showed endurance it worked out it was a win-win

Saw the Rock and Roll pops type of concert. Loved the music and the singers. The place is a great venue for a concert.

The Gulf Coast Symphony performance was an absolute pleasure. I enjoyed every minute and look forward to their next event. Who knew a Symphony could perform rock classics by the Eagles?

Are masks going to be required for the Broadway series. If so, can I get my money back for our season tickets?

Cheryl Iwaskow | Oct 20, 2021
Wendy Coleman | Mar 19, 2022

Yes mask are required . I was not happy that women walked around with a sign that said pull your mask up on your face. I'm not a child. And they serve drinks and snacks.

My neighbor who is died last year, this was her name I’m wondering who this hall is named after ?

Julie Mcphee | Sep 16, 2019
Taz Beattie | Sep 16, 2019

BARBARA B. MANN December 15, 2013 Barbara Balch Mann, age 100, completed her work for the enrichment of music and the arts in the community she loved on December 15,2013. On January 4,1913 she was the last child born in the Balch home built by her ancestors in 1750, in Topsfield, Massachusetts. In 1922 her mother brought her and her sister Helen to Fort Myers to live with her mothers parents. She graduated from Fort Myers High School in 1929 and was presented her diploma by Thomas Edison. Mrs. Edison, Mina, had presented her with a large basket of flowers earlier that year when she was the star in the school play. She married George T. Mann and they started a contracting business. Her entire life was dedicated to the arts so when the hall was built on the campus of Edison Community College the state legislature named it in her honor.
