Lancaster Performing Arts Center

I love this venue, we have been here so many times throughout the years. It's so clean, and beautiful. Staff are always so nice. We were lucky enough to see Tapestry Tribute the music of Carole king. We had great seats, and the show was outstanding. We just had an amazing time. I know I will return to see more shows or plays. They also have a membership program2/5/24

Such a classy venue to enjoy a concert. We came from hours away to see Boney James sold out show. Everything from start to finish was fantastic. Beautiful theater with no bad seat in the house. We enjoyed some drinks from the bar and the bartender was very kind. Drinks were reasonably priced too. All the staff was kind and crowd was great. We will definitely be back again to see a show or concert.

Sent my wife and 84 year old mother to a recent Cher concert. She was cussed at and threatened by some drunk dude because he was sitting in her seat and he had to move. I hope to meet and greet him soon. When she requested assistance from staff they told her what's the big deal do you want your money back?. They literally had to escort the stummbling drunk fool to the restroom and back to his seat. Real classy establishment.

Aside from A Christmas Carol being the most boring performance we have ever seen, having really unimaginative backdrops, the people working there are not nice nor helpful. My husband left his wallet behind and the girl that picked up the phone was dismissive and rude. When he went back to see if anyone could help him find it the security guards refused to let him in and made him wait out in the 30 degree weather despite there being a huge waiting area. I don't really understand how such a small community theatre could have such rude and unhelpful people working there. The only good thing I can say about this place is that the theatre is nice and all the seating has good views to the stage. I'm sure other performances are better. But I would definitely avoid A Christmas Carol. Scrooge was the best character of all of them, so I hope he is in other productions.

One of the best venues out there. I attened a special concert for Frankie J a few days ago. When I arrived the staff was more than welcoming. Staff was extrenely helpful with seat location. I was giving a program book that lists all the different artists/shows that will be performing. The venue is beautiful and well maintained. I live almost 2 hours away from this venue but I will definitely return in the future! Amazing sound and great seats!

This past weekend my niece had s recital here (she's 5 ). We've been here before but now I'm reviewing it finally and I love this place. Not only do they put on a great show, they are also cautious and check bags at the door as well. My niece was so cute and all the other older/younger dancers were so amazing too! The ladies escorting us to our seats were so pleasant and sweet, I remember them being that way last year too! I know they have a lot of local support which is amazing!They also have single flowers or bouquets for sale but you can't be too picky, not that they're bad. BUT if you want something other than a rose pre-buy your flowers.Lastly, there is a little place for coffee, munchies, and other beverages as well. This was also a nice touch during intermission. Costumes were absolutely fantastic, dancers were too, and so were those working the larger sized venue Had a great time just like last year! I'm so glad my niece has such a nice organization to support her love of dance

Excellent venue in the heart of old town Lancaster. Theater is more intimate which was perfect for us. Audience respectful, again, nice!We've been here many times and all seats are good acoustically. Bar as fast but a real lack of restrooms can sometimes muddle things. We were here for The Lee Rocker (WORTH GREAT SHOW!) concert and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Downtown at night is active and relatively safe. Lots of interesting restaurants and shops. Do try the museum, MOAH, super installations.

This is a review for the 2024 production of "It's A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play" by the Cedar Street Theatre. It was really painful to watch. The guy who played George Bailey, the most important role in the show, was astoundingly awful. It's tough to live up to an act like Jimmy Stewart (whose manner of speaking he tried to imitate), but this actor's ability was so off the mark, so bad that I wanted to leave at the intermission. There was no intermission. He whined through all of his lines and there was nobody in the play to make up for his terrible performance. Because nobody else was very good either and it was two hours of really cringe-worthy material. The review in the Valley Press was good and I really and honestly don't know how they came to that conclusion. In addition, people in the audience were using their smart phones during the performance which they'd specifically been told NOT to do, and the morons behind me decided the time was ripe for a disagreement. I doubt I'll ever see a production by this company again, so bad was this rendition. And the Arts Center needs to get serious and have ushers willing to remove people from the audience who are disruptive. Otherwise, why go?

I recently chaperoned a field trip to see the Ireland To America at LPAC. The staff was fantastic! Both young female staff members had nothing but a smile on their faces and were very kind to my son/ Students. They were both well-dressed and respectful.!

Nice intimate venue, I would definitely see any play or an artist live anytime. There's no bad seat
