Studio 2 is a great black box theater for small shows. The show I attended was only set up to seat a hundred people in four rows around three sides of the stage. The theater could hold nearly twice that number. The chairs have hard arms that make them painfully narrow for anyone that is a little larger. The theater is located in the beautiful Riffe Center which includes other theaters, an art gallery, the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame display, and government offices. It is located across from the State House. It is close to a number of reasonably priced parking garages, downtown attractions such as the Columbus Commons, and some good restaurants. I would recommend seeing one of The Contemporary Theatre of Ohio's great shows at one of the Riffe Center theaters.
The Riffe Center is one of my favor performance theaters. Modern and chic venue that welcomes all genres of entertainment. From musicians to comedians, this theatre allows you to enjoy a performance in comfortable seating, nice surround sounds, and complimentary lighting. Meter parking and near by garages for a fee to park. Prices contingent on the performance. Nice and friendly staff. Decent concessions during an intermission and or pause or a performance.
As a longtime subscriber to Balletmet, I find the comfort and view in the Davidson Theater! This weekend performance, reminded me of why I subscribed! The full creativity and power of dance was represented in the 10/15/23 program. Dance is not just historical representation it also creates history of endless presentations of the human spirit! Riffe is a perfect venue for such expensive creations. Kudos to the extraordinary dancers and the ideal setting for letting the viewers engage in the energy of the art!

We saw POTUS on Studio One. It was really funny! The theater does not have a "bad" seat! The concessions were good and included alcohol. Parking was easy and restrooms are plentiful!
Beautiful time with the family recommend for a nuce night out.
Beautiful building, beautiful theater, wonderful staff, fantastic show, "An Evening with Bruce Dickinson". I can't say enough good things about my experience tonight.
Absolutely wonderful!!
This is a lovely theatre with comfortable seating and great views of the stage, no matter how far away you sit from it. The acoustics are pleasant and sharp (think hearing the sliding of pointe shoes across the floor). The only problem I have with this theatre is that at least one or more of the escalators is non-operational when I visit. I don't use them, but it makes me think of people with mobility issues. There is a snack bar for drinks (plain and alcoholic) and candy/small snacks. There are restrooms relatively close to the theatre with lots of stalls. You can enter the theatre through the parking garage attached to the building or from the main entrance on High St. There is also underground parking across the street.
The staff is professional and courteous. The venue is beautiful, and all the seats are great!
Went for my first time to see "Dracula" by Ballet Met. Great show! Not a bad seat in the house. Also, there is a parking garage attached.
Beautiful place, magnificent shows
