This performing arts center is a refreshing place to see a live performance.The acoustics in the theater are great, the venue is well cared for, and the ushers and staff are always friendly and helpful.Ive seen quite a few performances there and have enjoyed every one. The theaters unique shape is very iconic in this small river town.My only complaints would be the lack of nearby parking. Otherwise, Ive always enjoyed my time there.

Very clean with good sound. The staff was pleasant. The concession stand opened about 15 minutes prior to the show beginning and did not except credit cards although there was a sign implying they did

I go to school here and I am an art student. This building has all the tools I need. Its a little cold, but I like it. Better cold than hot is what I always say.
