Place has piece of history in it. Wonderful hall, good stage, Air-conditioning is good. Biggest drawback is its seats, very much cramped, one cant sit for more than 1 hr & quality of seats need to be improved.

Feb 2018:- went here to witness Theatre Olympics.- located in one of the busiest parts of the city.- makes a good, comfortable, convenient place to stage indoor auditorium performance- acoustics inside the hall feels good, a loud and clear voice from stage could be heard at the back without mic/speakers.

Review №71

Fairly a big hall dedicated for Tamil isai. Only organization paying importance to thirumurai. Programs need improvement, in identifying new & young odhuvars to present the program, instead of selected/old few odhuvars alone. Presentation by odhuvars needs lot of improvement/ innovation to get more rasikas. There were days, when the auditorium will be full, to hear odhuvar Dharumapuram Swaminathan. Wish such thing to happen in future
