This old, but revived theater is a gem of the Parkersburg area on 5th Street in downtown.The shows are among the best anywhere and are always presented at a reasonable price.Any musical/theatrical taste will find something to enjoy, from children's shows to touring Broadway shows to big name performers of all types - classical to rock to country/western.This place was rescued from destruction by a group of people dedicated to preserving something wonderful from the early 20th century, and is currently managed by artistic director, Felice Jorgeson; who tirelessly brings top drawer shows and musical acts to the Smoot stage. She also directs the amazing Smoot House Band of local musicians, which is highly competent.

The Smoot is an older theater that continues to provide opportunities for live entertainment (music, plays, etc.) for the community. The management takes their responsibility and contribution to this area seriously which makes the acts dependably good and enjoyable. Parkersburg, for a small WV town, has an amazingly attractive theater community.

We visited this theater because my daughter came in 2nd in her age division when she ran the Parkersburg WV half-marathon race and that is where the awards were given out. Its is a restored theater...very impressive and the huge chandelier in there was beautiful. A definite must see if you visit Parkersburg WV.

This grand lady dates back many years to the time of vaudeville . Many traveling vaudeville acts graced the stage of this historic theatre. For many years it was a movie theatre and after many years of showing some of the best first rate movies she was almost torn down but thanks to some many people this grand old lady is home to plays,musicals, children's thearter and more. If you have a chance to go there you will glad you did .

At my age I've seen Saturday horror flicks and cartoons as a kid of the 50's and musical varities of numerous levels of performances live for the last dozen years since the theatre was fully restored largely due to the efforts of one local performer and leader. Really accurate restoration of this early mid 20th century theatre. Quite nicely done and not restored beyond the common qualities of the era and level of its origins. Best performances came from the Bob Thompson trio plus 2 a few years back......jazz performed to some critical international levels. Many local events and children theaters choirs etc.

The productions available at the Smoot Theater are a very pleasant surprise for not so big a town as Parkersburg. It is "Up Town" entertainment, not New York, but a very pleasant surprise and whole lot easier to visit than New York!

I love seeing these old theaters brought back to their original glory. the half marathon awards ceremony was held in the theater and we all had a chance to enjoy its interior.

Completely refurbished and comfortable setting for all types of entertainment from plays to musical groups. Separate room to eat and drink. Groups can schedule private tours to see the complete facility.

The Smooth Theater is typical of a small town attempt to support the arts. It is a beautiful old building, but entertainment is usually novice.

A classy old theatre restored to it's former beauty, the Smoot is a welcome sight in downtown Parkersburg. The renovation is beautiful and the only drawback is the sound system. Perhaps they could add some comedian dates to the calendar to get the younger crowd to visit a classic theatre.

If you are in Parkersburg when there is an event at the Smoot, be sure to go! It is a beautiful and charming place, carefully restored and elegant. The entertainment events are always great. We went to see "A Christmas Carol" and it was wonderful. I live in Parkersburg but was with a friend from Canada who also thought it was nice.

We've been to two major events at this restored Vaudeville house. The venure is beautiful, but the sound system is simply horrid. We striggled through a performance last year - during which the sound reinforcement system failed repeatedly. This past week we just left at intermission after hearing almost nothing of a first act. We'll not go back. Locals have an emotional attachment to the facility - a fixture of the local downtown since 1926. But for those expecting to see and hear a great performance, this will dissappoint. They try really hard, but until they get the soud system fixed, I'd recommend a drive to a larger city with a better facility. Live performanceis always best - but if you can't hear what's going on, there's just no point in leaving your house.

I visited the Smoot between shows. I was shown around by the owner, so I can only comment on the beautiful theatre, and it is a place of luxury. The decor, the upholstery, the polish and finish makes this a classy place. Look at the framed pictures on the walls....you may recognize some famous figures

The Smoot Theater is still in it's original old-fashioned design and beautiful. The plays are very good but can be expensive.

The Smoot has been well restored and maintained. It is run by a dedicated volunteer staff.
