Great place to see a show. Comfortable theater and always organized getting in and out. Could use a better arrangement on their restrooms as the gals seem to always have a long wait. Easy access to parking right across the street. A variety of excellent restaurants within walking distance.

Very clean restrooms. Comfortable seating. Great view from every seat. Ample parking. I came for a Jehovahs Witness assembly. And would definitely come back for another event that interest me.

Who would have thought that the city of Oxnard would have its own Performing Arts Center? Well I am blown away by this venue. I recently attended the Pink Martini concert at this venue. The patrons ranged in age from old to young. Every one attending was well received by the most helpful and friendly staff. You couldnt walk more than 15 feet before someone with a smile asked if they could assist you. A beautiful plaza awaits you at the entrance. They have a small but efficient beverage center. The venue holds close to 1000 people. The only negative is that the aisles are undulating and difficult to walk for the older patrons. It was easy with the ushers to find your seats. The exit was quick and efficient. I almost forgot that the parking was plentiful and free. This venue is a true gem for Oxnard.

Super cool retro building (built in 1968). Went here for the rock and gem show. I hope there is another event here soon so I can go check out the rest of this cool mid century place.

I’ve been coming here ever since I can remember. We celebrate our annual conventions sponsored by Jehovah’s Witnesses. Clean restrooms and friendly/helpful staff make our events a lot more enjoyable.

Great venue for a kids show. Just wish there was more space in the dressing rooms. Not enough chairs and alot if the kids end up standing.

Review №14

Older yet large event center. Parking was on both sides of the building yet no signs to help visitors navigate options. When I went to the side street side (wonderful and convenient entrance BTW) one of the main driveways was chained closed. A big oversight considering there were two events happening (requiring lots of parking). Inside the facility was adequate considering it is an older location.

Came here with my wife for a violin concert. The parking situation is tough, definitely not nearly enough for the number of seats. We had to park along the street and some people even parked across the street. Organization seemed bad with a line of people trying to get to their seats still long after the show should have started. The venue isnt bad but it could really use some organizational improvements.

So useful a place, meeting rooms,and theater for shows,larger rooms for big meetings and or display shows, people working there all care, the Arts need to be part of our lives! I hope it survives. As the City wants to shut it down, boo

It is getting pretty shabby. I graduated from 8th grade there 52 years ago when it was new. Folks are still using it, though, so as long as it is safe, good for them!

Nice big parking lot, and can get filled quickly when events happen. Its a nice place, not too big where you cant see whats going on.

The facilities are outdated (50 years old). When visiting here, you can expect to see relatively clean, but dated facilities, seating, equipment, etc. Personally, I would much rather see performances where the ambience is better and the facilities are more modern.I presume that the Center is not booked often, because there are several free family movie showings throughout the year -- all or most that cater to children. The acts that do perform are not necessarily the most popular or well known to the public. Nevertheless, they can and do provide entertainment opportunities to the residents.From the Oxnard Performing Arts Centers website:Since its opening in March 1968, the Oxnard Performing Arts & Convention Center has hosted thousands of performances reaching more than 3 million people. Outstanding Broadway musicals, prominent guest speakers, and musical acts and plays have all graced the centers stage.​As one of the larger theaters in western Ventura County, the Oxnard Performing Arts & Convention Center provides outstanding entertainment opportunities to Ventura County residents and visitors. Consisting of 1,604 seats, the theater provides a convenient location for numerous cultural, educational and entertainment opportunities.​A combination of distinctive features makes the Oxnard Performing Arts & Convention Center the ideal Complex for business meetings, trade shows, seminars and many other events. With its spacious theater and eight additional meetings rooms, the Oxnard Performing Arts & Convention Center can easily handle the needs of any group up to 3,500 - 4,000 persons. And, the network of enclosed patios provides the perfect setting for private community events, including weddings, receptions, banquets and more. Free parking for approximately 500 vehicles is available immediately adjacent to the Oxnard Performing Arts & Convention Center, plus limited additional parking is nearby.

I was here with my friends for a comedy show, and we had a great time. The attendants were great, they helped my friend with her wheelchair with gentleness and care. The place was clean and the atmosphere was warm. I have good memories here, so being back here after all of these years was just great.

Attended the Still Laughing Tour Comedy show this evening and although I knew where the Oxnard Performing Arts Center was, I had never been to any events there. I was pleasantly surprised about the size of the venue (holds up to 1650) and how easy it was to get in and out of the center/location.

Always a nice venue to go to.... I would check Groupon; many times, tickets go on sale there for very good prices. Dont count on having good food for intermissions.... Unless youre really hungry. They basically have prepackaged snacks and store bought hot dogs... At least they dont try to gouge on the food prices.

I have been here for some different things, there is a pre school in the Preforming Arts Center and it is one of the best pre schools ever! My smaller cousin went there for two years and let me tell you she learned SO much!! She started of knowing any of her numbers of letters and now she knows all her letters and how to count up to 35! The teachers really connect to the students! I also went to go see a Rio Mesa Dance performance, when I got there I saw a lot of homeless and that wasnt very comforting.

Very large facility. It has a large auditorium with stage for plays, musicals, or concerts. It has several small rooms that can be used for business meetings, and community events. It has amble parking and is surrounded by parks and athletic fields. The City of Oxnard owns the property.

It was a great venue, all of the kids there enjoyed it. Only two things kept it from being 5 star. The were not prepared for the amount of ppl that showed up so there was both a lack of seating and they ran out of food. Also, the event ran a bit late so multiple parents and children left before the end due to scheduling differences (bed time). Thank you for showing Moana. I will definitely be coming back again.
