Just saw Horton Hears a Who. (The Penguin Project) it was absolutely wonderful! The cast, crew and parents deserve a round of applause.

My daughter performed with her dance company here and the theatre is so gorgeous! Comfortable staggered seating and the seats are comfortable sizing. Plenty of parking beside the entrance and across. The only negative I can think of is seating outside the theatre in the lobby area is limited. But the lobby is spacious with plenty of room to meet after shows with the performers.

Nice place but security needs to be more consistent. Some lanes made women take small purses back to their vehicles even though it was under the posted sign size and others allowed giant gift bag size purses. Secondly when we reserved our seats it showed only the very top of the Arena to have just a hand full of seats. We go to the game and the whole place was practically empty.

Absolutely amazing PAC. Been here numerous times for school event, helping host the Student of the Day awards, and most recently, with the 75th Anniversary of V.J. Celebration Day. Stacey in the ticket office is a joy to work with, and the rest of the staff is extremely helpful. They truly helped make Frank Riesinger's 5th Annual V.J. Celebration a spectacle this year!!
