INB Performing Art Center

What’s not to love? Parking. So here is the trick if you are brave enough.
My conference was here, the Red Lion across the park, and in the Doubletree. I parked the van (not my personal vehicle) in the free Red Lion parking lot and put on a lot of miles on my shoes going back and forth through The park, even times when we all needed to be only at the INB. Walking through the park at night was a little scary to get back to the parking lot, but the path that I took was well lit and we all survived. It builds character.
The actual INB building is lovely and held the 2,000 in our group without a problem. The security or ushers were very accommodating. I knew that a painting by Ken Spearing was in the other building, which on Wednesday late afternoon was locked. However, when I mentioned to the security that I’d like to see the painting, not more than 10 minutes later someone was giving me a private showing! What service! As I am a direct descendant of the person in the painting, I was thrilled!
Currently, the new Davenport hotel is well into the construction phase with a skywalk across to the convention center. My group is scheduled back here again sometime in the future, and I can’t wait!

Was in Spokane for mother’s day weekend and saw Wicked was playing, and knew that would be amazing way to spend a Sat night with my mom. This review isn’t about the play (BTW AMAZING!!!) is about the venue.
My mom had a stroke when she was younger than I am now, so she is doesn’t walk around that much and normally has a motorized scooter but on this outing we just had the travel wheelchair we were coming up to the venue from just leaving the park, when we just made it to the start of the building a man, named Chuck opened the door for us and let us in, mind you this was before the opening of any doors, but Chuck said come on ladies, let me see where your tickets are at, our luck they were straight across from where we were at, but it was ok. Once the doors opened Chuck showed me which way to go and off we went to get our seats. I have to say I love it when venues offer help to those who need it. And Chuck was an outstanding employee!
Our seats were amazing not too far from the stage; I felt like a little kid going to the show with my mom, it was such a great time.
The INB Performing Art Center is a great place, doesn’t seem to have a bad seat in the house, I am 6ft tall and when seated there was plenty of leg room, I didn’t feel squished at all. The restrooms were taken care of, didn’t really have too long of a line. I really had a great time, if you can catch a show at INB Performing Art Center, you won’t be disappointed.

Amazing quality sound, seats were comfortable, not a bad seat in the house. Could use more bathrooms though! We saw Wicked on Mothers Day and it was a beautiful venue! East to find, parking near by, seating was easy to navigate and it was great that when walking in front of people to get to your seat there is precisely enough room to walk without stepping on toes! This place was amazing!

I am staying at the doubletree next door and couldn’t help but notice that Wicked was playing while I was on town. Tickets are always sold out in my hometown, Minneapolis and even though it was just me I thought I would stop by the ticket office to see if there were any tickets still available for tonight’s show.
Yay for me there was! I got a seat close to center in the terrace for under a $ 100 bucks. Tip for any shows, no fees when you buy tickets at the box office versus online.
The guy that helped me mentioned they do a drawing at 5pm for a chance to win your ticket for $ 25. I had dinner plans so passed but next time in town I would try to make that work, that is an amazing deal for tickets near the stage!
The venue is right next to the water and park, pretty view from the upper levels inside at night.
Inside the space looks like a normal
theater, I chose a spot in the terrace since the seats are stadium style so less risk of sitting behind a very tall person and not being able to see anything, I am pretty short so big plus.
Had a great view of the show and they had great drink selections. I of course had to try the signature cocktail, the Wicked martini, which was tasty.
I looked at past and upcoming shoes and the group who contracts shows to come I to down have really done a great job. Upcoming in August is Book of Mormon, looks like their new season is going to have some very well known shows coming to town. Keep up the good work!

Came here with the family to see Spamalot. The venue is nice, big and clean, which is all you can really ask for in a place like this. I would have preferred to take my drink inside, but it’s understandable why you can’t. The location is very close to downtown Spokane, which is great for those looking for something to do after your show. Unfortunately, the closest parking is a sea of pay to park lots.

I saw Wicked here back in May 2011, and really thought this was a beautiful venue! It’s clean, in a nice location downtown, I love the convenient big parking lot directly across the street. A Chili’s Restaurant next door within walking distance.
I would definitely come back here again for another event in a heart beat!
