Enwave Theatre

Do you know about EnWave cooling? It’s pretty awesome. Basically, there is a system of pipes under Lake Ontario that draw really cold water into a pumping station downtown which uses a heat exchange system to cool air that is then circulated through the subscriber buildings using 75% less electricity than traditional air conditioning. It’s practically free air conditioning! I mean… after the billion dollar infrastructure… :)
Anyways, this is a theater. It’s a pretty nice theater too.
The good:
— It’s small (350 – 400 seats) and every seat has a great view of the stage
— The sound is good if you sit in the right place
— They have ice cream bars in the lobby
— There is a lot of leg room between rows
The bad:
— If you sit in the front (really any of the double letter rows. even up to FF) the speakers project over you
— There are only 350 seats… so often things you want to see are sold out (art of time anyone?)
— It is inconveniently located — it’s only on one streetcar line and if you want to take a taxi home they hardly ever drive by so you have to phone one
I would definitely go to performances here again. I like venues that have assigned seats and this is one.
