    Nice place for a shiw

    Although it is starting to show wear & tear it is still a good space to view a performance. It is a nice addition to the community. Located within walking distance of lots of restaurants & bars.

    The shows are awesome!

    Went to many shows at the PAC and was very pleased with the talent of each different group. The center is very clean and it has plenty of ushers to help you find your seats. No matter where you sit, the view is great.

    Comfortable and beautiful setting for local and traveling theatre and symphony. Not a bad seat in the house. Parking is convenient and they also offer valet for most shows.
