We love going to shows but can't always afford to go downtown Denver at the Performing Arts Center there. PACE is a breath of fresh air to Parker. High Quality entertainment at very affordable prices. They offer everything from plays, musicals, to concerts that entice the music lover of any type. They have choral groups, rock concerts, country, fiddle, symphony, you name it they've played at the PACE. Peter Pan is coming in January 2014. It's convenient to downtown so you can go to dinner and then walk to PACE for the show.
I have been to the PACE Center numerous times for a variety of performances, functions, and weddings. It is a lovely facility for all occasions. The theater itself is fairly intimate and there isn't a bad seat in the house. The backstage area is spacious and professional. The outdoor areas are lovely and have scenic views. There is ample parking, but be sure to arrive early as traffic can get nasty out on Mainstreet, especially around the holidays when the city of Parker offers horse-drawn carriage rides through "downtown." The only thing that could be better would be a few more dining options within walking distance.
I attended the symphony this past year at the PACE Center. Unfortunately, there were several other events happening on the same day, so parking was limited. The venue itself is beautiful inside and has very comfortable seating. The concert hall does have handicap accessible seating for those who need it.
Just took our grandson to see Peter Pan. It was an awesome experience and staff could not be nicer! the theatre was very nice and comfortable, food and drinks available. How great to have such a place so close to home that is easily accessible and allows our children to experience live plays and concerts!
The shows are excellent. Unfortunately, the seats are so close that it is very cramped. There is no leg room and you are very close to your neighbor. If the seating was better we would go often but it really makes us think twice about seeing a show here.
I wasn't too keen on PACE when they began to break ground. Now I'm sold and can't rave enough about the PACE Center for the Performing Arts. Parker Chorale performs there (of which I am a member) ..so need I say more?
Saw The Producers here last year and was very surprised that this beautiful, new facility was right in my backyard! Very clean and the seating is laid out so everyone has a great view of the stage. The production was really good for local theater so I'm eager to go back and see more plays. The volunteer staff was cheery and friendly, which made for a nice atmosphere.
I am still amazed that Parker has such a nice concert hall. It seats about 500 people and I have not had a bad seat yet. I am thrilled I don't have to drive to downtown Denver to see quality shows or have to deal with expensive parking. Five minutes and I am home after seeing a great show or musical performance. PACE has such a nice variety of entertainment and everything I have seen is quality.
We have seen 3 show at PACE over the past year and the facility is gorgeous...especially for a smaller, local venue. It is a newer facility so hopefully it will still be just as wonderful 10 years from now. It is small enough that all the seats are good. There are a few seats, up high on the sides that are similar to bar stools. I think they sometimes reserve these for additional handicap seating because the seats can be moved (?), but believe they will release them if not used for that purpose and you can still see very well. If you look online and it appears there are no seats, it doesn't hurt to double check with the box office about these. We did this for a recent performance of Peter Pan and really like sitting up higher. Overall, this is a great place to see local theatre!!
We're thrilled to have such an outstanding & beautiful facility here in Parker. In the summer there are a host of children's programs to sign up for from theater classes to Lego engineering. The schedule of performances is decent. Usually a few odd choices, but mainly great entertainment productions VERy reasonably priced. The actual theater area itself has fabulous sound, comfortable chairs, modern, & clean. Any seat is decent in this arena. The foyer & areas surrounding the bar/snack areas during intermission are very nicely decorated w/the art gallery open & various art on the walls. Cozy & contemporary here. Love PACE. Only drawback is parking is limited, so be sure to arrive early.
