Review:
The Ordway Center for the Performing Arts was the brainchild and philanthropic venture of Sally Ordway Irvine, whose family owns 3M. This large, superb performing arts venue, which opened in 1985, presents a dizzying array of shows, including Broadway musicals, family events, classical music, dance, and opera.
The sight lines in the 1,900-seat theater are terrific; there is not a bad seat in the house, and the acoustics are excellent. Wheelchairs are easily accommodated, the staff is very friendly, and the lobby bar serves drinks and snacks. The Ordway Center has educational programs for school groups, children, and adults, and it hosts an international children’s festival each year.
