I recently premiered a film here and ended my night disappointed and underwhelmed- especially for the money I paid. Though they allowed me to do a test screening of my film 2 days before the event, the A/V tech conveniently did not let me test with their subwoofers on. The night of the premiere the subwoofers sounded terrible. I even brought my own sound person with me but it was not salvageable hours before the show. Secondly, right before we went to screen the film a unexplainable green tinge began hitting the screen which both the "qualified" lighting and A/V tech had no solve for. The opening branding for my film all of a sudden was green for no reason. Lastly, the lighting tech- a $400 person to switch the house lights off/on once, blasted me with a spotlight (that I did not ask for) as I was giving my introduction speech, no coordination- no warning and $400 added to the bill. As a younger local independent filmmaker who put a lot of work/money into this night, this entire experience was a bummer.

The place is in great shape considering it is over 100 years old. It has excellent acoustics and live music does not need amplification.

This wonderful place:The Empress Theater (Vallejo) is an uncovered "Gem" not many know about. They have Live-Stage Music on the weekends, including Rock, Blues, Soul, and even Symphony Orchestras. The Empress Theater is a masterpiece in its architecture and beauty with its restored '"1952" interior, walls, and deco-style ceilings.Every Wednesday evening between 6:00 - 8:30 pm, they feature great live Blues music in the adjoining Empress Lounge with a full bar. The music, atmosphere, and low-cost admissions are a recipe for fun & dancing with friendly folks.
We went to on Wednesday concert in the lounge. It was fantastic, and they had tacos and hot dogs outside.

WAS TREATED BADLY BY THE HOSTESS BOTH ON THE PHONE, WHEN I CALLED FOR INFORMATION AND WHEN WE ARRIVED FOR THE BLUES VENUE. SHE WAS VERY RUDE NOT ONLY TO ME BUT TO OTHER MEMBERS OF OUR GROUP. I WORKED IN HUMAN RESOURCES FOR 36 YEARS WITH THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, PERSONNEL BOARD AND I KNOW HOW THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE TREATED. THE BLOND HOSTESS DEFINITELY NEEDS TRAINING ON HOW TO INTERACT WITH THE PUBLIC.THANK YOU
