TD Stage at the Peace Center on Main Street in Greenville is a great event venue that is scenic and spacious. I have enjoyed all of the events that I have attended here as the space is just the right size and located nicely on the river. This space is well managed and enjoyable for events.

I always have a great time at the Peace Center! I’ve gone to many Broadway Tour shows here and always leave so happy. It’s in the heart of beautiful downtown Greenville. The atmosphere both outside the building and in the theater is gorgeous! The volunteers are always so kind, smiling, and helpful. Very fun place!

We went to see Brit Floyd at the Peace Center in Greenville SC last weekend. The Peace Center was lovely! The seats were so comfortable and the venue was laid out so the sound was maximized yet you felt like you could touch the people on stage! It was really a great concert. We are already looking at other productions being preformed at the Peace Center so we can go back!!!

Really pretty space inside with typical theater seating for the shows. They always have a pretty great theater season with creative and classic shows coming through. Also just cool to look at from the river with the waterfall and butterfly mural.

Clean, tastefully decorated, great architecture inside and out. Wonderful acoustics. Pleasant staff and even nicer volunteers.Attended several performances over the years. All were different from another, but quality of shows and production have been spot on. All this and its in downtown Greenville very near a river and many shops, bars and restaurants. A large park and a spectacular bridge with views of the falls are a must see. Walk about. Visit, view and enjoy yourself.

We attended the Reedy Reels Film Festival and had an amazing time again this year! Getting to know the organizing staff over the years has been a true pleasure. This festival has raised the bar for independent film makers! If youve ever considered seeing it, its worth the time and money.

The acoustics make every concert or talk easy to hear. This is great. The seats are comfortable and there is not a bad view from any of them. I have been here many times. Everyone should go to at least 1 event here. Then they will be hooked.

What a gorgeous venue in Downtown Greenville! I saw “Waitress” with my sister and the production was fantastic! We had upper balcony seats in the center, and could still enjoy the vocals and visuals. The layout gives every seat a good vantage point and the box seats look really nice. The restrooms were nice, and foot traffic moved so easily through the halls and up the stairs. There was a small bar serving drinks and small snacks, including jars of mini pie which was such a cute accompaniment to the show. The restaurant, which I did not eat at was visually stunning with grand chandeliers of crystal spheres surrounded by hoops which looked like planetary gyroscopes. Large windows overlook the river and waterfalls of downtown. There was an art festival the same day I visited and it made the atmosphere so lively and fun. The entire campus is just beautiful, and I can’t wait to return.

A night of Come from Away at the theater was most enjoyable. Not a bad seat in the house and the acustics were great. This makes for a fantastic date night with fantastic restaurants near by and a great place to stroll by the river after the play in the moonlight.

Review №19

Its nice! Staff will say the productions are as well done here as they are on Broadway... Theyre not. However, they are excellent. In some ways it is better, such as: parking, restaurant seating, ease of making it on time and quick seating.

Review №20

It doesnt get any better than this--the name itself and its connected to a bar, wide open spaces around the event space. The sound is good. I mean, I saw Rainbow Kitten Surprise so, of course, it sounded good. Also, the whole downtown is full of cool restaurants and art and so while Im from Charleston, this entire experience is worth the trip.

Very nice venue. My first time there, very clean, well kept and staff was excellent. We went to see Bill Engvall and had a really great time.The restaurant next door is a nice place to go before the show. You can get a bite to eat and have a drink if you choose too. The menu there is a light menu. Really nice choices to just get something before the show and not fill up.All together very Cool place, and now that I see how its laid out will enjoy it even more next time we go.

The Peace Center is a great venue. Greenville, SC is fortunate to have this cultural arts center. They have Broadway plays, music, great musicians, comedy, pretty much anything you would want to see. Beautiful venue, comfortable seating and every seat is a good seat.

Saw Beautiful and loved both the show and the venue. Seating is comfy with plenty of legroom. (Evidently they need more womens bathrooms, though.) Drinks are served before, during and after performances and there are plenty of restaurants and drinking establishments nearby for after the shows. Beware that parking costs are higher when theres a show!

Been coming here for years with my family and love it every time. Its always clean inside and out. When you walk into the building your always blown away with the beauty and class of the building. The staff is always so friendly and helps you with anything you need.

I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at the Peace Center this past weekend. I was really amazed by what a great show it was. The performers were top notch, and the set and special effects were so good - better than I expected by far. As is the case with many performance venues, there could be more restrooms for women. Not sure why refreshments are not allowed inside the theatre, but my enjoyment was not hampered at all by this.

Review №28

Wonderful place to see a play but they found it necessary to add one seedy and disturbing scene to a G-rated, family friendly play. Was this to show how cool and hip they are? People near me were as upset as my party and I. Id have given 5 stars otherwise.

An eclectic array of shows. Something for everyone. Nice little bars scattered in the lobby to have a quick cocktail before a show. Great seats throughout the theater. I love this place. Many happy memories.

It was ok. Saw the Lion, witch and Wardrobe event. View was good, seating comfortable, though odd without center isle. Production was OK for kids. I may be jaded though because I have seen over 30 Broadway productions and was raised going to ballet and orchestra concerts.

Review №31

We saw Alladin here and it was great. We were lucky enough to have some friends with box seats that they let us use, but I have seen several shows here from all over the auditorium and have never had a bad seat. You can dress casual and theres plenty to do in downtown near the theater.

Nice venue. Great location and parking nearby. Seats comfortable and good acoustics. My complaint, and is a big one...having to pay $75 for a $19 ticket. Next time Ill go to box office to purchase tickets.

Review №33

My wife & I always enjoy ourselves at the Peace Center. One thing I figured out is its best to buy tickets early to get the best seats for your money because not all views are quality angles. A 4 star rating because there always seems to be this one lady usher who comes off as annoying & oversteps her boundaries. Ill find out her name next time we visit.

Semi parking is awful. Inside is nice, at least it looks user friendly. The staff is wonderful, helpful and friendly. Shore power relay pops when I plugged into it.The Riverwalk is awesome, my dog made plenty of use of the grassy area.The waterfall wall was beautiful.

Beautiful venue, clean and comfortable seating, great views, and the acoustics were some of the best Ive ever experienced. Saw my third Brit Floyd concert here last night. Other two were in Macon Ga and Huntsville Al. There was no comparison with regards to the sound. It honestly sounded like a different concert here. The venue is also close to the river walk and a ton of great restaurants and bars. Highly recommend a visit to the city and peace center if you get a chance.

Beautiful venue with wonderful views of the park beside it. The restaurant connected is a wonderful little place to sit and talk while waiting for your show. The theater itself is great, more seating than I imagined it would have. We are both short and had no trouble seeing at all with people in front of us.

Review №42

This is a beautiful facility, in a beautiful location in beautiful downtown Greenville, SC. After having attended AND performed in many, many venues in the US including NYC,this venue has one glaring defect for the Concert goer: THERE IS NO CENTER ISLE OR 2 ISLES 1/3 in on either side...SO....to get to your seat in the middle you have to crawl over up to 25 people. This is a real hassle.Poor design but still a beautiful venue.

Review №43

The Peace Center provided an excellent broadway show with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory musical. We loved the performance from start to finish. The facility could be a bit more handicapped accessible, especially when it comes to the better seats. Lower row seating does not have center handicap seating nor does it have chair access. When exiting I was forced to wait until other patrons left so that I could go 7 rows backward. That was the only way to get to a wheelchair ramp. Still, the facility was adequate for most.

Review №44

Purchase tickets in an auction for benefit, was taking my parents, got the time wrong. The lady on the phone was sweet and understanding and was able to get us in on a later performance. It was Charlie and the chocolate factory and It was so much more then I thought it would be!! Definitely worth money!!

Review №46

Orderly, well decorated and convenient to get to as its off the Main Street. My only complaint, if you have nosebleed seats and have a breathing or cardiac issue, getting up to the rafters is quite stressful. The acoustics were excellent and seats were of average comfort. I couldnt enjoy the show as I would have liked had I been seated somewhere without the climb....

Beautiful venue for large-scale plays, musicals, and live music performances. Upper balcony tickets are relatively affordable ($35-60) since Greenville is a medium-sized city. Enjoyed excellent performances of Book of Mormon, Wicked, Sound of Music, and others here. Intermission is nice time to walk around the large lobby and grab a drink.

I required handicap accommodations, which worked out fine. I cant report on rest rooms, I didnt use them. We saw a stand-up comedian and it seemed like there was no such thing as a bad seat. Beverages and snacks were available for purchase. We had an awesome time and would definitely go back to see another show!

We took our 8year old here for the Piggy and Elephant show We are in a play. The play was well put together, the performers had wonderful energy and the whole experience was a pleasant one. We will be going back to visit again. Restrooms were clean and the greeter staff was pleasant, informative, and very kind. We really enjoyed our first time here. I did feel that The ticket price was a little high for the experience but the day was a great one.

I was offered a free screening of a very fine film featuring the life of Itzhak Perlman. The Gunther Auditorium is a smaller intimate venue for films and chamber groups. It is a pleasing space to be in. The volunteer ushers make the place really user-friendly.

Beautiful facility. So so production of an old musical Sat close to the stage on extreme right and acoustics were not so good. Had trouble hearing at times. Also avoid the parking at the Marriott across the street. They gouge you for 20. Use the City garage next door for only 6 (I think).

Just went to see Les Mis here. I saw Les Mis on Broadway. I thought Greenville couldn’t compare. I was pleasantly surprised. Not only is the entire downtown area immaculate and charming but so was the theater. We have friends that have seen several other performances there. And they raved do we agreed to go. Coming from a big city I wasn’t expecting the caliber of production value we saw. I was wrong. Everything was wonderful. The staff was attentive and helpful. Even the other patrons were a delight. Many of the cast members were superior to their Broadway counterparts. Peace Center really knows how to choose their performances. The experience at Peace Center has made want to return to Greenville not only for the theater but to see the city that creates and supports a theater this well. Thank you Peace Center. We will see you again soon.

Review №84

Great sound, beautiful theater and the staff is always great. The restaurant attached is nice, limited menu but good for starters prior to a performance. Dont suggest seeing a concert there if you enjoy dancing! Unless you like people telling you sit down all the time or can afford to upgrade to the balconies where you have a bit more room to move. Enjoyed a handful of non concert performances and will certainly keep an eye on the lineup for the future.

All the seats in the theater are great! The acoustics are excellent!! Its nice to have such a great venue so close! The sparkly dancing fairy-angel in the lobby always mesmerizes!!

I am a long time season subscriber and they refused to exchange my two tickets for a different night, even though they were sold out so probably couldve sold my tickets easily. It was just sorry no we cant do it even though I begged. I found it offensive and insensitive. Bad business practice. So fyi if its less than 48 hours before the show (i.e 47 hours) they wont exchange. But the shows are amazing.
