Secrest Auditorium

Zanesville has a nice collection of interesting architecture downtown. Right off the highway is the library, and a block away is this unexpected (at least to me) concert venue. Sweetie and I came to see Pat Benatar, who put on a great show.
The building is probably from the ‘50s and is in great shape. Not huge, probably a thousand or so seats? The seats are old-​style theater seats, and were comfortable for the whole show. Laid out in the traditional theater style, with several sections downstairs and a small balcony. Entry and exit were pretty efficient and simple. Acoustics were great, lighting was effective. The ushers were super friendly and helpful. It looked like concessions and bathrooms were downstairs though we didn’t use either.
There’s plenty of free parking, and street parking nearby too. It was easy to get out of the lot and back on the highway.
We had a great experience, and I would definitely come to see another show here.
