We're luck to have the PAC and to have the artists and shows that come... the plays, the operas, the symphony. If you don't KNOW the PAC, be sure and look at the map. IF you don't, you may end up to close or too far, depending on what you're attending. Unfortunately, sometimes it can be difficult to talk to a real person when purchasing tickets and understand where that is... I found the alaskapac.centertix.net the best site for seeing a map of the theaters. Dress as you feel comfortable. Alaska is tolerant. If you want good seats but not the clothes, get the good seats and go. And if you want to dress up and can... do so. Have fun and appreciate the facilities.
The ACP brings a good variety of shows to Anchorage. Though I would love to see more Broadway shows, they do a good job of bringing culture to Alaska and usually manage to get a few good Broadway hits and lots of other events to Anchorage each year.
Large modern auditorium with a good sound system and excellent visibility from every area. Great place to see a big show
Love the Performing Arts Center; the staff are always considerate, helpful and friendly. The performances are well done and sound is excellent.
The PAC is the nicest theatre venue in Alaska, and hosts dozens of shows annually. It's a nice facility overall, though it lacks many of the little touches that venues in New York, Seattle, or Los Angeles has (for instance, "box seating" consists of mediocre chairs along the side wall in a space that is otherwise open to the world other than a banister cordoning off the sections).
Aside from the busy carpet which can make one dizzy, the acoustics are fabulous. Wonderful Broodway productions, excellent family shows, supurb concerts. I always feel appreciated as a patron.
We went to the Aurora Show one afternoon. It was excellent. Photographer Dave Parkhurst spent years collecting thousands of pictures of the Aurora Borealis; these are his best.
great shows, music, opera, free concerts (love the Tuba Christmas), and the pre show lectures are always helpful and entertaining.
I think this show only runs until Sept. 1, 2014, but it is excellent. We learned a lot about the Northern Lights, and the pictures/show is really well done. It is fascinating to see, and humbling to realize the efforts put forth to capture this artistic work of pictures taken over 30 years time.
This multi live theater complex offers many plays,music events,etc. it is twenty-five years old but is much appreciated by Alaskans. Bathrooms are clean and volunteer staff is great. Seating is comfy
