The Rialto is a nice theater but the staff at my daughter's performance could not have been ruder. Blocking off the entrance to the lobby without your ticket is annoying because parking is a hassle and you don't normally all come at once. They used to do ticketing at the theater entrance which worked out better. After the show they immediately started snapping at patrons to leave and vacate not allowing pictures and turning off lights. Then our "validated" parking wasn't working so we had to pay anyway. There are far better theaters in Atlanta that are much more polite and operate more efficiently. Also the ledge in front of row AA is a little too high even for tall people for viewing. The ticketing system is a fiasco and always been but I overlooked it until the rude staff. They weren't even talking to me but witnessing their actions was a huge turn off.

First time at the theatre and really enjoyed the performances. Staff is very friendly and the acoustics were great-all seats are good. We will definitely return.! Watched Joan Osborne-she was awesome!

Rialto Center for the Art is a nice concert hall. Just an uncomfortable thing is parking! They have valet parking next to the building but open 2 hours before and close 1 hour after the event.
( This info is on the Rialto Center website but not in front of parking)
My daughter has a concert there from MYSO and calltime was 3 hours before cuz rehearsal for 3 big groups. I hoped they would consider the event and open the gate for us so the concert members family could use them, too.

It's a spacious place that is very well set up to handle crowds upwards of 1000
The set up could be a little better for the organizers. Accessing backstage area was quite difficult
