On old yet comfortable theater with handicap seating. The walls are poured concrete and carpeting is well worn. Place could use new carpeting. Restrooms lower level accessed by stars. Not sure If there is an elevator. Parking covered close by. Great performances by the University here. Just saw La Boheme and it was amazing.

The Power Center (for the Performing Arts) at the University of Michigan is a facility that was built back in 1971. The auditorium itself is designed to offer most seats an unobstructed view of the stage (rows are significantly raked), but access is quite limited to those with mobility restrictions.I have performed there numerous times and found the stage quite expansive and backstage facilities and dressing rooms adequate. My consistent complaint (both as an audience patron and an actor) is the rude, obstinate, mean, and nasty attitude of of the Power Centers box office and ushering staff. Not the best first impression for your guests!U of M, you can do better! Although you are the largest venue, you are not the only game in town.

The Power Center is an excellent mid-sized venue for all types of theatrical performances. We have had the season subscription for several years and enjoy the productions very much. Prices are quite reasonable and you get to see some of the finest up-and-coming talent before they make their marks on Broadway, Hollywood, and around the world. Talent and production quality is top notch. Hard to think that theres a bad seat in the house. If youre within an hour of Ann Arbor, its a great opportunity to take in great theater / musical / opera / dance events at bargain prices. (Parking is easy too, right next door at the Fletcher street garage.)

Saw Mary Poppins. The center is very comfortable with great site lines. My 4 year old granddaughter had no problem seeing the stage even though she was sitting behind an adult.

Good place for sight seeing and a lot of program activities like tedx take place here

Love this venue! Well curated and thought provoking performances. All seats are good, parking at the deck is easy and only $5.

This is great place to see a show. I may be biased because I think we have the best seats in the theater. I should take half a star off because the restrooms arent very convenient.

Attended a Madeline Peyroux concert here in June. Only slightly difficult to find the building/parking structure. Small, intimate venue. Im 53 and felt the seats a bit small and uncomfortable. My partner is 60 and was fortunate to have an aisle seat. Sound quality was good.

There are no bad seats in this theater. Parking in the adjacent structure means you can easily drive to it and enter in bad weather without rain gear, etc. The seating is much more comfortable than the the stately and refurbished Hill Auditorium concert hall. It is used primarily for small concerts and theatrical performances. It does have relatively limited bathroom facilities for its size.

Not a bad seat in the house. Great performances!

Wonderful seating for the Nutcracker during Christmas holidays ️

Good seating and acoustics which made the play very memorable.

Every experience Ive had at the Power Center has been phenomenal. The shows Ive seen have been off the charts masterpieces. The staff has been kind, competent and beyond helpful.If you want a world class theater experience, choose the Power Center.

Under used venue, intimate experience.

I have been to 2 performances here now and enjoyed both of them. The auditorium is large and both times I sat in the balcony. The seat setup can be a little confusing but there are ushers everywhere that are there to help you if need be. I also appreciate a large variety of performances take place here

This more modern than most University of Michigan performance venues, is comfortable and seats around 1300. Mostly, its a great place to see a performance. Unfortunately, a couple of design aspects could have been better thought about: 1} the two outer sections of seating in the balcony and main floor have poor sight lines, allowing views into the wings. 2} No elevator to the balcony or accessible balcony seating.

Excellent show I really enjoyed myself

Wonderful venue- not a bad seat in the house! And a lovely lobby perfect for mingling.

Very much enjoyed UMS-Past Tense. Excellent content and well time subject. Certainly would see it again. Outstanding venue-perfect.

We saw Shakespeares Fifth Knight. It was a raucous good time. Excellent acting and talent. A very enjoyable evening and a wonderful way to spend a night out.

Has a great theatre which is large. The building itself is nice. A good place to relax and view theatre music and dance

Such an amazing intimate venue. If you havent been there to see a show I highly recommend.

Very nice venue with not a bad seat in the house. The seating is very comfortable with good back support. Ushers were extremely helpful with my disabled wife.

Great shows in a great environment. They should move away from cash only parking, however. Its a shame that in this day and age the University still isnt able to figure our how to run a card for an event.

An intimate theater. Comfortable seats and wonderful service. I totally enjoyed myself. Ill be back. Oh, Go Bucks! LOL.

Great venue for performances. Balcony is very high and steep. Afraid of heights? Stay on the lower level!

This venue hosts many great shows and it is a good theater for live events, but it is dated with smaller seats. The all concrete construction is also a little jarring to see.

The Power Center is a wonderful place to catch a show. The large stage and large audience allow for a variety of performances, from University shows to UMS shows.

Rock n Roll shows should have an option for alcohol. This was a dry show and nobody was aware of that untill we arrived at the show.

Love to watch shows here. The seating is unnecessarily confusing. You enter odd seat numbers from house right and even seat numbers from house left. For example, consecutive seats in the center are 9, 11, 13, 12, 10. Great theater with confusing layout.

The smaller seats of an older theater, but great site lines.

I enjoyed the stories told through music, voice & dance. Very nice venue.

Nice facility, staffed well. Make sure the artist is worth seeing. Parking is available on the street for free in the evenings

Freezing cold in the lobby and the spiral stairs are pretty terribly designed (try walking up and down them, youll notice what I mean!). Regardless, this place does host some pretty amazing shows.

Good venue to see a show...only negative is that the seats are really narrow.

There is no elevator and the seating is very cramped.

Great facility, lots of great performances, wheelchair accessible. Parking can be a little bit challenging. Good to get in town early, find parking and have enough time to get settled before the performance.

The Power Center is amazing from the space and design. One of my top recommendations!

Great space comfortable seating. Clean restrooms. Is a very nice venue

I truly enjoyed, the Awesome, precision, and Choreography of the Dancers.Wonderfully Blessed.

Fun place to go see a play! The box office is in the South-east part of the building. I took the blue bus and it was a short walk.

This was my all-time favorite place to perform in during my time at school. Its a beautiful facility and its truly invigorating to be on-stage, and the catwalk, here.

Intimate setting. great fro concerts

Center is great,parking should have the option to pay by Credit card,not only CASH!!!

Another Ann Arbor amazing venue.qms brings great dance performances and more to the power center we are so fortunate to have this then you.

Hail beautiful building....opened 1971....fast forward...2.10.2018...beautiful Febuary evening in Ann Arbor.....a fluttering of fresh lite giant snowflakes ...lots of people bundled up warm against the temps.....opaque shafts of light shimmering through the night . The giant snowflakes capture the light and float along. A sweet air of change and optimistic future permiates everywhere. Pause...stand still....observe...concentrate....see it....feel it...drink it in......continue on refreshed.

Good show. Go Muskets.

I saw the Batsheva dance company here and Iness incredible. The staff were quirky however and you were curves to sit in your assigned seat which was a drag considering my date was not seated next to me. The venue is nice however

Awesome building, great stage. Could benefit from a normal cafeteria and coatcheck.

Always love this place for live theatre.

It was wonderful experience.

Great viewing seats. Never have anyones head in the way.

Not a bad seat, an intimate feel for how large it is. Big stage, great for musicals and and any size band.

Nice place to see a play. Easy parking for ann arbor.

The graduation service was exceptional, keynote speaker was relevant, inspirational and presented a motivational vision for the future...

Every seat is good, acoustics excellent.

The facilities are pretty nice but a bit dated within the actual theater.

Great place to see any performance.

Just a wonderful place if only it was a little easier to park down there.

Great venue! Go see some cool shows.

This was a great venue to see a show at!!!

Great venue for performances! Seating is well laid out. Good parking options. They bring in lots of great events.

We got our windows installed a few days ago. Our house is old and had a lot of problems. One of our biggest problems is that we had air coming though all our windows and could hear all the cars driving down the street. Power windows came in installed all our windows. We no longer have drafts of air and we cant hear the cars driving by. The installers were very professional and cared about our wellbeing. I would recommend this company to anyone.

A nice place...must do for all visitors yo A2.

Always great for excellent performances!

Cool smaller/intimate indoors amphitheater

Great place to watch a show

Great place for show. Not a very large center, so you can get a good view at any seat.

Great place to catch a show in Ann Arbor - every seat has a good view, either for ballet or theater.

Great place for Concerts all the seating on the ground floor is a comfortable distance from the stage.

Great view from almost any seat!

Evolution of a sonaro
