Great atmosphere and organized group. Concert started at 7:30 on the nose

Came here for ITS 2018-2019 and preformed on stage. Loved how pretty the campus was.

This is our local theatre in Okaloosa County. It is a beautiful facility located on the Northwest Florida State College Campus in Niceville, Florida.It is a fully equipped stage with all the bells and whistles you can ask for.

Pink Floyd Laser Spectacular was great! Sound and lights were amazing. Two pair of magic glasses, one for each half of the show, greatly enhanced the experience. Gawd were old..... Im trying to imagine seeing this at 20 something.

We had a such a great time here! It was our first time, and I know it is a college, but I wish they had concessions. Maybe we didnt see it, or its not possible, but it would have been nice to have a drink during the show.The staff was super helpful and friendly, the theater was clean and everything sounded great!

Beautiful arts center. The acoustics were amazing. We saw the Orlando Transit Authority, preforming Chicago, it was such a fun evening.

Swept up and away last night by the beautiful BeLinda Davids and her highly talented back up who gave Niceville a five star performance with her Tribute to Whitney Houston . She made us wish we back in our thirties! She captured the essence of the best of Whitney Houston. The audience was wowed and the comments after the performance were glowing. By far, one of the best we have had here. Thank You!

Their performances are above and beyond what you would expect from a local arts center! Everytime Ive been to a show here Im never disappointed!

Very nice ballet: Cinderella! Always a great outing!! Culturally uplifting!!

My Mom, daughter & I watched Footloose and it was AMAZING!!! Loved the show. Theater was nice.

The seating is a little odd. The slope isnt enough to give you clear siteline of the stage if the person in front of you is a little tall

One of our favorite theatres. Comfy seats, great acoustics and excellent events.

Always entertaining shows and plays. Beautiful arts center.

Wonderful Venue for all kinds of shows! Beautifully built & Very nice staff!

Place was pretty nice. Very close to 5 stars

Great show! Preacher Lawson was hilarious! Only downside was the air-conditioning could have been turned down a bit more.

Great place for performing acts. On a college campus. Many different things to see there and a lot of groups perform there!

Chaperoned eighth graders today at the arts center. Great time some very talented artists there.

Shows start promptly and on time. Shows are exceptionally entertaining

Went to hear THE CREATOR OF THE SUPER SOAKER. . Mr. Lonnie Johnson. What an amazing story!!!. . . . .Main take away Never Give Up

Excellent place to visit. New art shows come quite frequently.

Best OW Heart Walk in a long time.

Great night of Methodist singing. Wouldnt have missed it! What a fantastic venue. Acoustics are great.

Saw Footloose here and it was epic!! Willard left me floored with his amazing performance!

Well organized, pleasant staff, comfortable seats. We went to see our granddaughter at an awards presentation and expect to be attending many more.

Very nice auditorium. Its chilly so bring a jacket. Saw Peter Pan, did a great job. Snacks & bottled water are sold during intermission, but they go fast. Great orchestra.

Nice local place to take in a show or lecture but trying to get a snack is impossible unless your first out.

Enjoyed the xmas jazz

Always love going here!

Performing Arts Center - comfortable, unobstructed seating, good sound, attractive entrance, foyer and theater. Have enjoyed several performances there, Broadway series, special events, and student performances.

Not too big, lots of parking, quaint.

Wonderful Talent we have been blessed in our community

I liked it. We watched Hunchback of Noterdamn performed. It was good for the price. Lead singer had an amazing voice. My teenage girls liked it, even though the cast werent polished professionals. Lighting was impressive. The male lead was pitchy numerous times. And he didnt have a hunchback! Whats up with that?

Ive watched the NWFSC go from a little community college to a full blown university over the course of the last decade and I must say it all looks rather impressive! The Mattie Arts Center is and always has been astounding!My 3rd grader had a field trip to see The Magic School Bus and every single kid fell silent when Ms. Frizzle came out on stage.Only thing I will say is the sound never seem right, either too quiet or way too loud but thats chump change when put to the whole college campus!

Great variety of offerings. Easy to get to with lots of free parking. Can order tickets on-line, by phone or at the box office. Comfortable seats.

Great staff and stage crew here. Very nice venue indeed!

I go to school here. There are no campus police watching kids drive erratically through campus or cameras in the parking lot to view people who hit cars so youre screwed if someone does hit your car. Youd think the amount of tuition they get something would control these things. Booooo.

I like the plays and song cycles and other events held at that place....

Great atmosphere. They bring in some good talent. We love the symphony orchestra!

Play Whitney Houston tribute was awesome

Very nice venue.

A very modern well kept theater with top rated performances of all genres and todays, 6 Oct 2017, performance of the Kings of Harlem was no exception. The acting was brilliant and the story was awe inspiring and heartfelt. A part of African-American history no American history that should never be forgotten.

Great staff,food and entertainment!

Great venue for the arts.

Thought it could be great acoustics for concert, daughter had a good time.

What an excellent venue for watching any type of live theatrical performance

Love the variety of programs they provide. The bathrooms are always clean n the staff is very professional n friendly.

Nice seats good sound, could use a wide screen for the balcony seating

Jeanette Shires does an excellent job of choosing great plays for our entertainment!

Saw World Ballet Stars & The Nutcracker for the first time BRILLIANT! Peter Pan too All the shows here are top notch!

Fantastic shows for the whole family.A wonderful night out.Thank you.

We had a very good experience at Mattie Kelly Good Very friendly people

Wonderful facility and very talented people. We will be going back soon!

Saw the NWF Ballet! Nice facility!

Great sound system and good looking building

Beautiful design, easy access, great acustics.

They have wonderful musical and theatrical performances alike! Ive seen ballets, choirs, plays, and art shows, which were all delightful and impressive. Mattie Kelly has been known to host performances to an upscale and enjoyable standard.

Preacher Lawson was amazing!!! ️️️

A world-class performance venue, and the only one of its kind in the Fort Walton Beach Destin area.

Saw Footloose, outstanding performance.

Love ...field trip for our students

Nutcracker is a must see to kick off the holiday season for my family!

We visit the Center 2-3 times a year to watch performances. The seating is comfortable and can see the stage from most seats pretty easily. The Anne performance was the most memorable one for me.

Terrific venue for performers and audience members alike.

Love going to see shows here.

Great place for schools band concert

Surprise find in small town. Broadway travel companies. Seinfeld here twice in 5 years. High quality college production. Much more.

This is a nice facility. But last night the temp was so low that many of us were extremely uncomfortable in the theater itself.And, the lobby was absolutely freezing. Many of us could not tolerate it and had to hurry to leave it.

Beautiful venue, class acts and so close to home! A hidden gem

Very nice facilities. Enjoyed the performance. Would love to attend again.

Beautiful facility. Watched several shows. My son loved the Dino show that visited

Our first visit, wont be our last. Bring more R&R events and well be there.

Great music venue

Fabulous Sound

The boost unfriendly place as a college.

We saw Shrek the musical today and it was a great experience! Extremely affordable, tickets easy to buy online, convenient free parking. Overall an awesome experience!

Great Christmas concert last night.

The magic school bus show was great

Billy Bowlegs coronation was held here. Wonderful event!

They do a great job of bringing shows to this area.

Great fine arts facility! Truly a gem in Niceville!

Love this theatre, watching Norman Browns Christmas concert tonight.

Residents of Niceville are so blessed to have this cultural arts center in their back yard. The shows range from fine, free performances to high dollar international offerings. The local productions are as high quality as the wider known shows. The atmosphere is elegant and inviting. Most recently we saw the visiting Tibetian monks, Lightwire and The Nutcracker. All were amazing.

The Arts Center is one of the best attributes of Niceville. Top rated shows are in abundance at great prices.

Great acoustics. Every seat has a view. Everything is very clean.

Enjoyed the concert and very nice fausilyity

Superb musik presentation

Amazing magical place. Cant wait to go again

Nice acoustics and plenty of seating.

Great Venue!

Restrooms are super small for 1500 people

Love this venue

Love to go to the symphony there

Great venue

Beautiful facility

Nice place

Kinky Boots was a breath of fresh air and a surprise to me and my family.

Website should be updated. Glad I got a full refund, but wouldve been happier to have got to go to the show at the advertised price.

Really nice theatre in a beautiful location on campus. Check the website for events.

Young Wolf was AMAZING!
