We went on a Sunday afternoon for a showing of Dreamgirls. Parking was plenty. The show wasn’t full, but even with a full house, I can’t imagine having a problem parking. However, getting out of the parking lot after the show took some time.The building is beautiful, clean, modern and very well designed. We chose balcony seating due to the price and figured we’d still be able to see the stage from the 2nd row. The view was okay, with minimal interference from the person’s head in front of me. The audio was terrible. No one could understand what they were saying when the orchestra was playing. The music was so loud and the actors really low. It sucked, because I feel like it ruined what could have been a good show. Due to that reason, I’m uncertain whether I would attend another performance here.

Wonderful building, great theater. The flow of people both inside and out works really well. We saw the Mousetrap which was excellent. The only drawback was the security on entering: no outside food or drink (including gum) and other contraband too numerous to mention here. I understand why but it was an unwelcome surprise. But all in all a great evening out.

Black Jack Symphony Rocked the House. The group played the Dark Side of the Moon album plus great hits from Pink Floyd. What a fantastic evening of sights and sounds.

10 minutes before the show and there is a line 300 people deep. I’m thinking this place doesn’t plan well for events.

Play was great. The venue not so much...imagine being surrounded by multiple bags of potato chips that crinkle and distract from the play...not an usher in sight...they all split as soon as the play starts so its just terrible to sit thru. Never again

Love the new JPAS Bldg. Easy access off Airline. Huge parking lot.Only bad thing is they keep it COLD in there. If you are cold natured, or dont want to be uncomfortable, definately bring a jacket.

It was fantastic to take my daughter to see Gino Vannelli in a live gig. A master composer who has managed to keep a privileged voice exactly how he had it in his early days 4 decades ago. It was great that this venue allowed for fans to meet Gino and get a pic taken. My daughter was beaming with joy!!

Excellence in the arts at a beautiful venue! Im so glad we made time and made it out in the bad weather for the final day of Tuck Everlasting. It was my first visit to the new venue, and I loved it. The acoustics were amazing! The space definitely rivals performing arts venues of major lities like Atlanta.As for the show, rarely am I left speechless, but the entire production was simply breathtaking. The cast, the choreography, the orchestra, the direction, the talent - along with a beautiful love story - Im so glad we made it out in the bad weather for this wonderful holiday treat! I laughed, I cried and felt every emotion between. I left feeling inspired - and wishing I had kept up my dance lessons! Well done JPAS!-April Hamm, Founder/Director/FacilitatorCenter for Musical Decelopment & Wellness

Review №63

Was a very nice place with plenty of good seating and a clear view of the stage. Very impressed with the size and landscaping around the place. Parking and location is great. My only issue, which was stated as policy of the venue, was no outside food or drink allow. Nothing. So the small snacks and drink for our two year old to be able to keep silent during the plays was taken away. Not a huge deal, accept that nothing was offered for sale that would be acceptable for a toddler or small child. Otherwise, very nice place.

The center has been opened for less than a year so the seats are new too. The acoustics in the theatre are fantastic. The halls have a nouveau rich kinda of feeling to it with large abstract art hanging on the walls. There are elevators and stairs leading to the theatre. It came confusing so use the elevators as your destination/seating area is clearly represented by the elevator buttons e.g. balcony, mezzanine etc. There is also a bar on the ground floor for those interested in buying beverages. Be aware that they do bag searches at the entrance and dont allow food into the building. Water is accepted though as long as it is in a well sealed container.

Review №93

The venue was great. However, the Technical Director was out of control. We had props backstage and she wanted them out of the area immediately after our group danced. She didnt care if we had to reuse the prop for another dance. She harassed teachers as well as the competition staff who all thought she was out of control. Need new technical director to run the place. Wont be back!
