Such a great venue for a jazz concert . We watched Bria and Benny there play their trumpets and sing. It was magnificent

Went to see the play intimate apparel today, and it was absolutely amazing. Not only was the play absolutely wonderful, the place was extremely clean and the staff were very helpful! The art was also great and adorable to look at! Will definitely be going again :)

The irving symphony orchestra was fantastic. They are so talented and the selection of music perfect. Great venue but seats and arm rests are way to small and I am a male 5'11" and 205lbs.
