Tyler and Jennifer's workplace

Tyler and Jennifer work at the box office at The Belcher Chapel and Performance Center on the campus of LeTourneau University, selling tickets, taking ticket orders over the phone (occasionally meeting famous people!), etc.. They gave us a tour and took us up to the top balcony, which is so high up that you literally start to feel dizzy! The Belcher hosts many well known artists including Riverdance, Fiddler on the Roof, Michael Bolton, John Tesh, Phil Keaggy, Shrek the Musical, etc.....
Here's a little blurb about the Center as well as a short video:
The S.E. Belcher Jr. Chapel and Performance Center is the premier performance center for the city of Longview, Texas, and surrounding communities. With world-class acoustics and staging, the center attracts shows that Longview residents would not be able to see without traveling many miles. The center also functions as LeTourneau University's chapel, providing LETU students with a place to gather together three times per week for incredible Christian speakers and music groups.
The S.E. Belcher Jr. Chapel and Performance Center opened in Fall 2007. Designed by professionals in architecture and theater design, the center features 1,400 seats on the ground level and another 600 seats in two, opera-style balconies. The building features a full working stage and orchestra lift, as well as prop and staging areas, dressing rooms, soundproofed rehearsal rooms, classrooms and offices. It is the largest single-building capital campaign in LeTourneau University's 63-year history.
