This was our first visit to the theater and we really enjoyed it! I think youd have a good view of the stage from any seat. Theres plenty of leg room, comfortable seats with cup holders and a very cozy atmosphere. One tip would be to arrive early as the parking lot is small. Many parked along the street. Beverages, snacks and coat check available.

I had the pleasure of attending Birch Lakes 1st ever play Jellybeans the Cheetah and Hope last weekend and it was so cool! Tickets were easy to obtain, not a bad seat in the house, and very cool literature about programs offered thru there. I cant believe I had never heard of the place before this play! Awesome experience!

We had a great time here! Nice, small theater so you can be up close and personal! Great talent!!

Very nice community theater. I like that every child gets a part and they stress that every part is important to the success of the show. We saw Little Shop of Horrors. Fun play!! Wonderful to see so many talented students interested in theater.

Great community performing center. Opened with the past 18 months, the Hanifl Performing Arts Center provides a great new stage for the very active White Bear Lake theater group that has put on many shows for a number of years. The Arts Center itself is welcoming with a bright and airy lobby, a small concessions area, good seating in the theater with good sight views and a decent sound system.

A wonderful new venue in White Bear Lake. The theatre is excellent and the sound system is second to none for a facility of its size. Seating and viewing lines are good from all areas. The productions we have seen so far have been top notch. Full access is now available to everyone as everything is now on one level or has ramp access to the seating areas. Parking can be tight, but additional parking is next door at the White Bear Center for the Arts(when they dont have an event at the same time). On street is also available.

Beautiful performance space. Lots of comfortable seating. Great show.

Gorgeous building. Houses both Lakeshore Theater and Children Performing Arts. Wonderful community theater!

Great local theater. We attended Mary Poppins musical. This theater is a very intimate setting for a production such as Mary Poppins. The theater which is in its first season in the new facility is an excellent cultural addition to the White Bear Lake area.

Saw Miracle on 34th street. Comfy seats, great quick performance!

The performances are always spectacular and every seat in the house is a good one.

Saw a wonderful performance of Gypsy Rose Lee in the beautiful inmate theater,not a bad seat in the house!
