I graduated from here in 1989. To return to see the upgrades and beautification simply warmed my heart. This is a magnificent location to host any kind of event because there is no bad seating anywhere. Its extremely well kept & clean. I love it.Champion Carlette The Truth EwellWorld Heavyweight Boxing Champion

Enjoyed hearing our new W-S Symphony conductor, Timothy Redmond, tour us through a 50-year annotated history of John Williams film scores! The sound and lighting were made possible by modern additions to this lovely, classic theater by its affiliation with all arts organizations here, not just the high school where it resides.

Went 2 see Chonda Pierce, christian comedian with 6 other family members & had a blast! 1st time going 2 RJ Reynolds Auditorium. Nice place with comfortable seats, and great view from balcony. Go early because parking seemed 2 be limited, & no one to direct traffic.

Attended for Leap Dance competition. Very, very small dressing rooms for the girls. Crowded, had to stand to watch her preform. Parking wasnt easy either. The actual building was beautiful from the outside could use some updating.

Rude racist people! I was there for my daughters dance recital on june 1st and the old white lady at the steps entrance inside was rude and racist! There were more white people that were carrying big bags but when the black guy carrying a backpack which was a diaper bag she asked to search it!! Just because people are black does not make them automatically a criminal! White people commit crimes as well! My daughter and my sisters kids will not be returning to Dancers Edge next year! I will not have my kid representing racism!!!

We came here a few days ago for A night with Crowder we had never been to this venue before. It was easy to get to from Business 40. There are not a lot of parking spots but we got there early and parked in the lower lot. To get to the venue from this parking lot you have to hike up a walk way and then there are about 20 steps. This will lead you right to the front door. There are several handicap spots right outside the front door.There is a lower level and 2 upper levels. This concert was General admission so we made sure to get there early and did not even try to go to the lower level. We got seats in the upper level towards the front without issue. There really isnt a bad seat in the place. We loved how it felt more intimate than an arena show.Leaving the venue we were able to head right to our car and got out easy.

A great place to see any sort of show: play, concert, comedy act. Every seat is a good seat and the small size makes makes every show intimate and nice. The parking can be tricky.

The most Magnificent performance auditorium dating back to the early 1920s. Enjoyed the All (Forsyth) County high school concert bands tonight. Fabulous performances from these amazing young people.

Beautiful auditorium but the seats are too small in the upper levels, especially regarding legroom. Im 511 and I felt like apologies were needed for the person in front of me due to my knees almost cupping their ears. Plus if they leaned forward to get a better view, it was completely blocking my view of center stage.

The sound quality isnt the best in the mezzanine. Small bathrooms, no refreshments, and tiny - yet comfy - seats. The auditorium is in need of a few serious upgrades but its beautifully kept and well loved.

Beutifully restored auditorium. Seats are designed for people of the 1920/30s and may be a bit compact for modern builds. Good sound.

Most beautiful auditorium in Winston-Salem. Its very difficult to believe its a high school. Kudos to Winston-Salem for renovating such a historical place rather than tearing it down and building a cheap substitute.

Review №43

Poor staff, crummy place to hold an event, the staff spend more time yelling at people to not lean or touch the 80 year old brass furnishings.. seriously not impressed and have zero urge to ever go back. Had issues with staff and management being too aggressive with my child physically putting hands on her at one point, no excuse for this behavior at all. If I could give zero stars I would.

Our Daughter dances with BPAC STUDIO.BPAC puts on their annual presentation of the NutCracker. They had three Wonderful performances this year. R.J. Reynolds auditorium is a great place for this venue.In the past...(and I love nostalgia).. She was with a different studio. They had all their presentations at the Stevens Center in Winston Salem. A beautiful place but in Bad need of updating their seating. When the Center was built seats were smaller and too close together. People were smaller and shorter. I am 58 average. My knees not only touched the seats in front of me I couldnt sit straight.All this to say.. R.J. Reynolds Auditorium, you have my vote.
