Auditorium Testimonials

Lynn Malizia

The Nutcracker Suite performance was amazing! I was brought to tears as I watched Kimberly Ratcliffe and Eddie Mikrut perform. This was the first live ballet performance I have seen in my life and it was absolutely beautiful and graceful! The performance from start to finish was completely well done. It was a joy to be able to attend this performance!

Music Director, First Presbyterian Church
“Newton-Conover Auditorium has transformed from a venue presenting theatre productions to a full-scale Arts Center in the past 18 months. I am so impressed with the quality of programs and outreach that has been done in Catawba County. I have had the privilege of participating in the Grant Writing Workshop with Mandy Pearce, attended summer programs "Music and Mud", seen the legendary Doc Watson in concert, and attended Theatre Productions as well. They are on their game when it comes to providing quality arts program in all areas for the Catawba Valley.” March 17, 2011

“Our orchestra and resident string quartets have appeared in this outstanding small auditorium and I have personally attended concerts, plays and other events in this facility. It is attractive, user friendly for renters, and the management is very proactive in taking care of renters and attendees. I recommend it to both.” March 17, 2011
