The productions here are great. My only complaint is the sound needing to be better. We could only hear half of what was said by the actors and the band was louder than them to begin with.

Went to see the love performance of Dream Girls. It was beautiful, the venue was big and well managed. The performance itself was breath taking and Ill be the first to admit that I ugly cried when the song Youre Gonna Love Me was performed.

The African American Performing Arts Center that is located on the State Fairgrounds is a wonderful venue! Not only does it have a very nice theater but it also has an art gallery with an ever-changing display of pieces from outstanding artist.

Amazing and full of variety. Want to watch a play? Or walk through a gallery? Even burlesque if thats what youre into. You can find a plethora of things here. You can educate yourself culturally or even sign your kids up for a summer program. Just about everything under the sun.

This is a beautiful performing arts theater. Small in size, so all seats are fairly close to the stage. Lots of good parking, you do enter through the south Expo NM gate, but for our event the parking ticket booths were closed (free parking for AAPAC)

A very nice theatre, its not too big so you can get a good seat almost anywhere. The performances here are good, we watched Honk and enjoyed it! There is an exhibit area with interesting art work highlight in African culture and the impact of important African American people. I recommend visiting this place! Its modern and well kept, clean.

Was here for a mothers against drunk driving panel, it was aiiight. They were mad about drunk drivers but super cool about drunks who stay in their living room. I was out right on time! 5 stars, if not for the fact some native drunk chick sat next to me and made the air unbreathable, i thought you kicked these people out? 3 stars.

We attended Heart of a Dragon, an original play by Coral Community Charter School. Wonderfully done.In the past we have seen MTS, The Little Mermaid and Shrek here as well. We love the center, rows provide amply space for my tall family, bathrooms are easily accessible and the venue is accessible via public transportation so you can avoid the $5 parking fee if youd like!

Review №73

Horrific experience. We normally have a positive time here, but this time it was horrific. It was supposed to be a music program. The third song was a boy reading a THREE page rant about HIS political views. This was NOT the place for that. People were drunk and my wife and I, both Disabled Veterans, were trampled repeatedly by people getting up to dance...sitting back down and then getting up to dance again. We left the event after a short time. I doubt we will ever go there again it was such a terrible time.
