Please, please replace the worn out seats with something comfortable. It is the one and only thing that keeps us away.
Showplace offers a delightful variety of shows; from professional performers to local amateur theatre and everything in between! Never disappointing no matter what your preference is. Easy to find, there is lots of parking nearby. The theatre has two lounge areas that offer a wide array of beverages, including "adult" plus small snacks. Children and families are welcome, as are folks in the grandparent demographic. It's a great place to go as a family for appropriate live theatre experiences; it's also a wonderful "date night" for adults. Only downside is the seats are fairly old and well used so you may have to be content with a slightly uncomfortable hour or so! Not that bad, though, because the tickets prices offer great value for great quality theatre.
was here for the SAAT cultural outreach show, the seating was comfortable, the lighting was good, and the sight lines were quite satisfactory. What was hugely disappointing though was the rubbish that SAAT put on the stage, after which they proclaimed to have killed the show, well they killed it, but not in the way they thought they did, anyway I like this place for a live showing.
time to clean it up a bit, put some bathrooms on the main floor and make a real performance theatre out of it. Instead, it looks and feels like an old movie theatre that is struggling to stay alive. Oh yeah, some relevant acts would be nice.
good location with free city parking garage in evenings; some good entertainers; a little pricey for some shows; clean & comfortable seating.
This little community venue does a great job of bringing in some national talent and providing a stage for local artists.
A beautiful little theater, downtown Peterborough. I have been able to enjoy many concerts over the last few years and thought it was time to say thanks for providing much needed entertainment to our community. I had the opportunity to be at last nights performance for Matt Anderson. The theater is very well kept and the staff were very attentive and friendly, all the way from ticket pickup to placing us in our seats. The show was amazing, the sound was fantastic and the I didn't have to travel all the way to Toronto!
The Performance Centre is well equipped to handle most any performance. The washrooms are clean and adequate. Seating is comfortable. The lighting and sound systems are modern and accompany performances very well.
This easily accessible performing arts centre does not have a bad seat in the house! The acoustics are amazing, and the line-up of artists is of high quality and great variety. It is also available for rent and a lot of school groups take advantage of this opportunity, providing quality entertainment for the community. Peterborough is lucky to have this amazingly affordable venue in our citizens.
The seating and acoustics are very good at this venue and it is well situated beside parking and restaurants. The lounge area is spacious and can accommodate a large number of patrons. My only complaint is the too narrow stairwells and the lobby area which does not permit good traffic flow.
