What Group Leaders are saying about their experience at Theatre at the Center...
“For over 13 years Theatre at the Center remains my group’s favorite venue and they ask to come to every show in the season! Top quality is delivered to the customer on every front – from the quality of the performance itself, the comfortable seating and full sightlines throughout the theatre, the delicious food, the beautiful art exhibits and gift shop, and the service provided by staff, especially Group Sales Coordinator Charlie Misovye. The trip is sure to be a hit!”

“Theatre at the Center located in Munster, Indiana is a gem. Their productions are always wonderful and their support of local artists young and old really adds to the whole theatre experience.
We take groups to TATC fairly regularly and those trips are always very popular, not for just the top notch theatre experience, but the whole package. Truly a one stop venue, lunch, shopping and gallery viewing, what is not to love!
My experience with TATC has always been entertaining of course, but management has thoroughly shown that they know their stuff. Charlie and his group are professional, friendly and always there to help with any situation. We have brought groups of over 50 seniors at a time and management support is always a plus and we always get that. Thank you again!
We go to TATC for their awesome productions and then are always surprised and inspired by the gallery art that they display. Their support for local area young artists is to be commended. I have seen some really phenomenal thought provoking work done by artists young and old. TATC should always be on your trip list, it never fails to show patrons a great time!”

“We have been bring groups to Theatre at the Center for over 20 year. Charlie is such a great person to work with. Our travelers always like him meeting us at the bus and telling them color of napkins and location of restrooms etc. The food and service is always great. There is only one thing I wish they would include the tip with the final payment as I notice some people don’t hardly leave a tip and the staff does a great job serving everyone and are so friendly. If you never have been to Theatre at the Center you are missing such great shows.”

“Our Theatre at the Center group dinner and show package was such a resounding success for our holiday celebration that we intend on making it an annual event. All of our associates thoroughly enjoyed the elaborate buffet, including the vast assortment of desserts, and truly appreciated the convenience of delicious food and professional entertainment in one local venue. ”

“The reservation process for Theatre at the Center could not be easier. The staff is the most helpful of all the theatres our group has attended. The food is of excellent quality and presentation is exceptional. The wait staff is very accommodating and very courteous. The visual presentation of the theatre is exquisite along with the gift center which has a remarkable selection of gifts many made in Indiana and featuring Indiana artists. The plays the Theatre contracts for are of the utmost quality in content, whether it be serious, romance or comedy. We have never seen a bad production at Theatre at the Center.
Thanks Charlie to you and your staff for an enjoyable experience.”

“I am a trip coordinator for a 55+ Active Adult Community. My residents look forward to going to the THEATRE AT THE CENTER.
The performances and productions are always very professional. The choice of entrees selections are always good and there are no bad seats for viewing. None of the above could exist without the help of the GROUP SALES DEPARTMENT and Charlie Misovye as the COORDINATOR. Charlie is very helpful and considerate to senior citizen group. He works with me and any professional person knows “what a relief” it is to have a person like Charlie to work with. At the end of the year I always look forward to see what THEATRE AT THE CENTER has to offer for the following year and eager to book my events for that year.”

“Our group has been attending Theatre at the Center luncheons and shows for at least 6 years and feel they are one of the best entertainment facilities in the area. The luncheons are very good and the staff will work with you if you have someone who needs an alternate. The shows are fantastic - very good selection and the actors are very good. Seating is the best, not a place in the theatre has a bad view. Staff is wonderful to work with and make changes when necessary.”

“Our Senior Club has been attending plays with a fabulous lunch at the Theatre at the Center for about 10yrs more or less 5 times a year. It is so nice to be able to see a live play and not have to travel very far. The plays have always been very entertaining, the food has never disappointed us and there isn't a bad seat in the whole theater. The staff at the theater are always very accommodating and friendly, it's just a pleasure to go and spend an afternoon there.”

“I have been dealing with Theatre at the Center for at least 9 years now and have found my experiences nothing short of outstanding in all aspects. The reservation process is simple, the box office hours very convenient, the staff so helpful in providing excellent seating and information. Tickets are printed up quickly and accurately. Everyone is cheerful and takes the necessary time with each customer to check and double check so that all patrons are happy with their choices. Adjustments and changes can be made quickly.
The acting, casting, choreography, costumes, set design are fantastic and can be compared, if not excel, any production seen at a downtown theatre. I've heard people compare Theatre at the Center productions to plays they've seen on Broadway. The location and parking can't be beat for convenience and cost in a totally safe environment.
The food, especially this year, has been outstanding in terms of taste, variety and presentation. The service and ambiance = A+.The friendly staff is always there to greet patrons as they enter and leave. Comments are sought out, taken seriously and acted upon. Even the volunteer workers go above and beyond to make sure everyone's theatre experience is comfortable, enjoyable and convenient.
There is not a bad seat in the house. Set designers do such a great job with the limited stage area they have, and every seat has an excellent view of the performance. Actors play to the whole theatre. Acoustics are great, and listening devices are available for the hard of hearing. Seats are comfortable with ample leg room.
Theatre at the Center is one of my top life experiences. I always come out of the theatre filled with joy and a new look on life. The plays and special events chosen to be performed at the Center are always of the highest content and quality with a 100% enjoyment factor.”

“What a difference a day makes!! – At Theatre at the Center!
We wish to thank you on behalf of our family of travelers for such outstanding, delightful, fun-filled shows.
The performances – as always – 'top of the line'! But let's not forget the superb dining experience with exquisite, delicious gourmet selections to the friendly, courteous, very attentive Wait Staff who cater to our group's every whim! The group feels quit spoiled by it all! The luncheons are always looked forward to – from the details of colored napkins to what the table décor will be!
When calling every traveler the evening before our trips – don't want to leave anyone behind! – We enjoy reminding them that we will have some time to shop in the unique Gift Shop and also to browse the Art Gallery. We are always pleased to see our patrons taking advantage of both venues!
As group organizers, we appreciate the ease of working with you Charlie and the staff in general at Theatre at the Center. Everyone gives us the feeling that we are the ONLY group and they are there ONLY to take care of our needs for a fun-filled, exciting, and very pleasant day – assuring our quick return for another day. Whether you're in your 50's or 90's ~ a good day will be had by all! ”
