This was an excellent place for a fun and simple family outing. What a beautiful and historic theater! They are working on renovating it but the glory has never left. Truly a real gem. Nice folks, great snack bar and what a neat idea. We were here for a showing of The Birds and we had a wonderful time!

It is such a beautiful building! The embellishments and attention to detail with so much still original! If you love old buildings it is a must see. My only complaint is that it was cold. The old theater seats are long gone so the event planners used folding chairs and there were a few tables. I know that it is a work in progress and will only get better, Ill happily go again!

The architecture of this place is Way Cool the Ambiance and Acoustics are just as awesome. Seems to lend itself better for Electronica and music type Productions rather than theatrical events however its fun no matter what and in a great location

My work had a little gathering there. The employees are awesome! The food was good. The atmosphere was was great. I love old historic places and they offered to take anyone who wanted on a tour. Loved it!

Wouldnt know we were not inside, just parked outside eating our lunch. It was a nice shady place.

Obviously your experience at the theater depends on what is on the stage, but so far I have nothing but good experiences. The Jayhawk theater is a nice bit of Topeka history and many of the shows at the moment are designed to be a service for the community.

Still pretty rustic, but the show was great. Be prepared as like in dress appropriate to the outdoor conditions. The existing HVAC is also rustic.

Entertainment was good. Venue is under remodeling which means no heat. 21 degrees outside. Froze. Dont know why you would schedule a concert with no heating. Felt sorry for the band.

What a great piece of our history .Please try to make a donation to the restoration fund .The theater will be amazing !

Absolutely excellent venue. I attended for a metal concert to support the restoration of the Jayhawk. The sound inside is practically perfect, I would assume other types of concerts no mater the genre. The only downside I have to say is that the floors are slanted making it hard to sit in chairs that are not secured down.

Had an amazing opportunity to perform in this historic building.

Great location, wonderful volunteer effort, chairs need cushions

Saw truth in comedy here. It was great. Had a great time. I will be returning.

Great music from the blues society of Topeka and sweet food truck menu!

I am loving the revitalization of this place and the new, reasonably priced shows to see. Swing Dance classes were great fun too.

Beautiful old theater! Great for smaller performances etc.

Good old feeeling thatre. Has a lot of character, hopefully it gets restored. The seating, when I was there, was pretty basic and EXTREMELY uncomfortable to sit through an entire show. I would bring a pillow for the seat.

Saw a redition of dogfight and it was a very good show though the seats were a little bit hard to be sitting in for a couple hours it was a good show

We were treated like VIPs. But I didnt see any Geminis or Cancers there. But the music was on point. Had a good time. Thx

Great venue for live music! Suki is booking awesome shows!

Beautiful building!!

No heat. Acoustics are horrible. Havent fixed anything in years.

The last surviving historic theater in town - someday itll be beautiful again.

We went to see Hot in Topeka Burlesque. It was amazing!

Beautiful place- resored or not- loved the experience!

Great People! Wonderful entertainment ! Please support Topeka Artist and Entertainers.

I love that they are trying to restore this old theatre. It was a gem in its time and hopefully it will be again! Keep up the good work.

New meeting, very interested

This historic venue for shows originally opened in 1926 as a vaudeville theater & movie palace. The board has been working to raise money for for restoration. A noble cause. It has a wide variety if small and large fundraisers to work toward the goal of being a functional venue again.

A very unique event space in Topeka!

Excellent for any type of shows

Its a really cool venue. Although unfinished, it has a really charming historic vibe that feels comfortable. There are bathrooms, working climate control, and plenty of space for events.

Cultural riches for Topekans.

Is a good place to visit .

A beautiful theatre in the process of renovation. An inspiring project taken on by the theatre company Ad Astra, this site has a bright future.

Great movie and it was free!

Although it is in renovation stage the historical view of it is so beautiful love it

Need to get the heat fixed. Should be wonderful when done.

Its coming back to life.Very elegant in its day.

Cant wait to see this place when its restored.
