Schwartz Center For the Arts

Attended a Deanna Bogart concert here tonight and it was one of the most enjoyable evenings I’ve ever had in Dover! Deanna’s music is great and deserves her own review, but this is simply about the venue. The Schwartz Center is without a doubt the most under utilized gem in the state capital! The theater is simply beautiful inside and out, the acoustics are wonderful, and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The lighting is professional and very well done. (Had to throw in a note for my buddy John Moller!)
I do wish they would bring in more well known acts, but not enough tickets are sold to make it worth while. Dover residents need to wake up and realize they have an alternative to traveling to Wilmington, Easton, and Philadelphia.

This was my first visit to the Schwartz Center after hearing raving reviews from a family member. I purchased a ticket to see Echoes of a Prophet with the Delaware State University and Wesley College jazz bands. The great acoustics provided a fantastic show. Echoes of a Prophet was quite a surprise and truly echoed the great Rev Martin Luther King, Jr. The jazz bands were great with a lot of talented students. I thought the seats could have been slightly more spacious but that is to be expected in an auditorium. I enjoyed my visit to the Schwartz Center which is a wonderfully decorated facility with a lot of charm and look forward to another great show when I am in Delaware.
