Warnors Center For the Performing Arts

Enjoyed a good concert...traffic was light and great parking obtained. Would definitely go again to something here.

This place is so sad. The Warner theater was meant to be an opulent venue, it was horribly disappointing to go in and see how neglected this place is.I went in the evening for my nieces performance, and while the sound and lighting was fine, there were just so many issues with this venue. First, the bathrooms need a major update. There is actually a hole in the ceiling in the men's bathroom. Secondly, paint is peeling off of the walls, and the tiles themselves are either broken, cracked, or stained. And quite honestly, that's pretty much the feeling of the entire theater. This place needs a lot of renovations. The next issue are the seats. The seats are pretty close together and it does make it difficult to get to your seat, if your seat is in the middle of the row. I saw a whole rose of people get up, and walk into the aisle, just so somebody could access their seat in the middle of the row.What's so sad about this place is that it really shows its age. It was a wonderful venue when it was first built, but after years of neglect, it seems to as lost its sparkle. I can only hope that someone, someday, will restore the theater back to its original glory.

I got tickets to the Cinderella ballet at Warnors Theater and was so excited since I've never seen a show or anything in this theater. I was always told about how beautiful this theater was. It is very opulent, but just didn't have the magic I expected. I brought my aunt, my niece and mom and they all said they thought the theater was haunted. Why the 2 stars? Concessions was moving rapidly, we ordered 3 nachos, two popcorn, 2 sodas and a bottled water for $27. They asked for tip and I pressed no. They're not cooking or serving me dinner. The nachos came in a tostidos bag with cheese on top, when my aunt got hers, there was barely any nacho cheese on it. They said they portioned the nacho cheese. I showed them the bag and asked if they would eat that. They got upset with me and said it went to the bottom. I showed them the empty chips from the bottom and they were annoyed and gave me attitude. I would have rather they gave me the side of nacho cheese in the 2 oz souffoe cup instead of trying to put it on for me and probably wasting more nacho cheese than they put on. Worst concessions experience ever. The ballet was good and funny. The ambiance was very old haunted theater. Lol. Would I go back for a show? Yes, if I got free ticket again and that's a very big if but no if it were something I had to buy. Overall, disappointed with the state of the venue and the concessions stand. Bathrooms needed a major update as my niece got locked in the stall. Not ADA compliant since it is all the way down a flight of stairs.

Came for a performance last night. Really liked the old school vibe. Things were well organized. The draw back to this place is that the seating spacing is tight. If you are 6' you will be uncomfortable. If you need to get out everyone must get up/out. The worst thing about this place is the heat. It was incredibly hot. Even the common lobbies are hot. I know that the place is getting renovated, but unless they address the seating and AC I would not come back.

Absolutely terrible ! We attended a concert there in late September and they had no air conditioning! It was so hot & muggy inside the theater ! A lady even passed out in the front row and the concert had to be stopped until they got her out . Just awful!!! It was a beautiful, gorgeous theater but definitely not worth it to sit through a concert sweating your a** off when all you are doing is sitting .

While the performances were stellar, the environment in this beautiful theater is less than ideal. The air conditioning wasn't working--felt like 150 degrees inside. Lack of ceiling fans, adequate amounts of restroom stalls as there were 4 out of order, and 3 remaining that were working. Two out of three sinks unable to use. Its charm and craftsmanship is worth saving and fixing this performance art center. Spending $$$ x 4 In tickets to be in these horrible conditions is a reflection on this city's historic legacy of downtown revitalization failings... it's been like this for at least a decade as an attendee of multi events with the same circumstances prevailing. Shameful and things need to change... There's High-school, College, University venues that are better equipped for a gathering.

My husband and I paid over $300 to see the Air Supply concert last night. It was so very hot inside and apparently there was no air conditioning whats so ever! The place was packed and the seats were so close we felt like sardines in an oven!What's worse, I visited the women's restroom in the basement and had a long line. I finally got to the stalls only to see 8 of them with 5 having signs 'OUT OF ORDER!' WHAT!!! This place has NO BUSINESS HOLDING AN EVENT THIS SIZE with NO AC in the summer heat!!! We left early drenched in sweat and not feeling well!!!I DO NOT RECOMMEND the WARNER's Theater for events and we WILL NEVER EVER go again!!!

This is absolutely the worst venue I have ever been to. The bathrooms had running water coming out of the wall. Someone should call the health department and have them shut down. I believe for 2100 people at the price of the tickets they can at least afford a plumber. Get some god damn AC or fans. The only air supply was on stage and even that was kind of old and stale.

Last nights concert with Air Supply had no Air Supply literally!! It was like a Louisiana swamp inside everyone reeling from smelling like pigs from the drenching sweat! Main floor bathrooms were locked. Downstairs bathrooms had several stalls out of order. Beers were cold but cost $12 and water bottles were $3 with the cost of tickets and refreshments you would think that management would turn on the AC or at least open the side doors to allow some air circulation. Won't be back and won't recommend unless it's in the winter time.

Wish I could give a zero-star rating. Management of this place should be ashamed of themselves. What a dump: No air conditioning (in scorching Fresno, no less), restrooms are ancient and dilapidated, seats have seen better decades, acoustics are awful, and management hasn't even seen fit to keep the marquee sign fully functional and lit. My heart sank when I saw this dump. I can't believe this place is even allowed to host concerts. Two thumbs way, way down. Indiana Jones would say "it belongs in a museum "--or in this case, it needs to converted into one. Never, ever again. My favorite band could play here and I wouldn't go. Shame on the management for this atrocity.
