Description
Did you know that there is an auditorium at City Hall that has been credited with the best acoustics west of the Mississippi?
A
B
A
B
B
We
live
my
wife
and
I
lived
in
new
york
in
chicago,
so
we
just
kind
of
been
all
over
and
always
said
well
we're
either
going
to
end
up
in
Iowa
or
New
York,
and
you
know
I
spent
most
of
my
last
few
years
doing
theater
work
in
production
and
this
job
popped
open
and
it
seemed
like
a
great
fit
and
an
opportunity
for
us
to
get
back
here.
Yeah.
A
B
It's
very
unique
because
a
lot
of
facilities
that
are
like
the
bandshell,
like
the
auditorium,
have
several
people.
You
know
one
person
who
manages
the
technical
aspect
of
it.
One
person
who's
in
charge
of
doing
reservations,
one
person
who
might
be
PR
and
in
this
position
it's
all
sort
of
lumped
into
one
position,
so
part
of
my
job
is
figuring
out
technically
what
events
need
or
looking
at
equipment
and
what
we
should.
B
You
do
for
facility
upgrades
and
things
of
that
nature
or
what
a
you
know
an
incoming
group
might
benefit
from
in
the
future,
but
then
part
of
its
also
recruiting
new
renters
are
looking
for
events
or
concerts.
That
might
be
interesting
for
the
city,
and
part
of
it
is
also
just
trying
to
promote
them.
Everything
that
we're
doing
so.
B
The
auditorium
is
sort
of
a
hidden
gem
in
this
I
think
there
are
people
a
lot
of
people
who
do
know
about
it,
because
we
do
have
a
very
regular
base
of
people
who
come
here,
but
there's
also
a
lot
of
people
who
don't
know
that
it's
here
it's
a
881
seat
theatre.
It
does
have
a
balcony
level.
The
floor
seats
about
500.
The
balcony
is
about
300
some.
B
It
has
a
full
fly
rail
which,
if
you're,
not
a
theater
person,
you
might
not
know
exactly
what
that
is,
but
that
what
allows
you
to
be
able
to
fly
scenery
and
lighting
over
the
stage
and
move
it
up
and
down
and
there's
you
know
a
lot
of
smaller
theaters
might
not
have
something
like
that.
So
it
is
very
well
equipped
in
that.
In
that
regard,
it's
a
very
beautiful
auditorium,
very
clean.
You
know
a
lot
of
the
equipment
is
up
to
date
and
well-kept.
B
B
B
B
On
all
of
the
places
that
I've
worked,
you
know
after
hearing
a
few
things
and
being
out
in
the
house
for
a
few
shows.
I
definitely
would
tend
to
agree
with
that.
It
sounds
very
good,
even
just
if
somebody's
standing
there
speaking
on
stage
it's
you
know,
it's
always
easy
to
hear.
It's
always
easy
to
see
very.
B
And
it's
I
think
that's
one
of
the
unique
things
about
bandshell
park
is
dead.
There's
a
lot
of
people
who
go
to
band
shell
park
to
use
the
tables
to
eat
lunch
or
they
take
their
kids
there
to
the
playground.
So
a
lot
of
people,
you
know
see
it
and
a
lot
of
people.
You
know
because
of
that,
come
to
the
events
that
are
there
and
it's
again
a
very
varied
schedule
of
events
from
band
concerts
to
concerts
and
lectures
and
all
kinds
of
different
things
that
happen
out
there
and.
B
And
you
know
they
do
a
one
performance
with
simon
estes
every
year,
which
is
always,
I
think,
one
of
their
biggest
draws
of
the
year.
And
you
know
the
am
j.
Cs
have
their
friday
night
names
on
the
half
shell
and
we
have
with
the
police
department
every
year.
They
do
an
event
for
national
night
out
so
and
we're
always
looking
for
new
programs
and
events
and.
B
And
one
of
the
things
that
you
know
since
I've
come
on,
one
of
the
things
we've
been
looking
at
is:
how
can
we
solve
that
problem?
Is
there
things
that
we
can
do
working
out
with
shuttle
buses
or
even
at
the
convention
and
visitors
bureau
meeting
last
week,
we're
talking
with
some
of
the
hotels
about
doing
shuttle
sponsored
hotels
from
the
hotels
or
you
know,
from
a
commuter
area?
So
there's
you
know
we
were
trying
to
work
with
the
neighborhood,
because
we
know
that
it
is.
B
B
Yeah,
it
facility
opens
technically
at
5am
most
mornings,
but
I
do
think
that
there
are
several
people
who
are
waiting
at
4
45
or
for
the
morning.
Person
who
gets
here
in
opens
the
facility,
and
then
usually
you
know,
we
end
our
day
about
10-1030
with
adult
volleyball
most
nights
or
you
know.
We
have
open
gyms
that
go
till
9pm,
some
nights
too.
B
A
B

both
the
auditorium
in
the
bandshell

their
