Up graded seating has improved the comfort of most patrons. Balcony seating is still further away from stage than should be. I've seen musical concerts, comedy performances and dramatic productions. All were well staged and attended. Pricing is fair I believe. It's a small town theater and does attract its share of "former" big names in the entertainment world. But... More

We came to the center for the Kathy Griffin show. The show outstanding and funny. The parking was free and easy to access. The bar had beer and wine plus some snacks. The men's bathroom was always crowded with long lines. The seats were comfortable and every seat in the place had good views of the stage. We will be... More

We truly enjoyed this Center because the theater has great views of the stage from any seat in the house. Great sound system and lighting. We found the venue to be very comfortable and offers great entertainment.

This center will soon be undergoing a million dollar face lift. I thought it was pretty good to begin with! Love the talent they bring here. Easy access to bathrooms, which are plenty.

This Center for the Arts brings so much to our county: from shows for children, to comedy for adults, to music for all tastes, to international dance, to community art shows.... we are all enlivened by the breadth of display and performances offered here.

A nice venue. Pros: Intimate, close to home, comfortable, reasonably-priced tickets, and free parking. Cookies and Juice Squeeze in the lobby. Cons: No food or beverages other than Wells Fargo "sippy cups" allowed in the seats. The "Dance Police" used to be a problem, but not so much anymore. I've seen a few shows here, since moving north. Steely Dan,... More

We have had season tickets to the family program for 10 years. They put on fantastic shows - always love seeing the acrobats! Also attend other shows and always good. Theater is small enough where every seat is good.

The lighting and the environment are very distracting at this location. I hear it was a church, originally...I am not sure that is true, but in any case the '70's heavy ceiling and upholstered seating DO make for good acoustics. Once I got over the environment I thought the event (poetry reading) was very good!
