We attended a movie premiere here and had a great time.Nice theater overall.It is right on the edge of town where you can walk for food and drinks and parking is right there. You do pay to park but it was reasonable.Enjoy!

As part of ComedySportz, I was honored to play on January 3rd at The Venice Island Performing Arts Center.A HUGE thank you to Noah Herman and his amazing crew! I can not more highly recommend The Venice Island Performing Arts Center!One of the best tech crews I have worked with in a long time!Kelly on lights and John on sound made us look and sound great!Very much appreciated!!!Whether performing on stage, or just watching as a patron, I look forward to seeing future shows here and supporting the efforts theyre putting forth.

Padelphia has been an amazing asset to the Manayunk!

Wasnt really at the performance center. Was just down V.I. or we call it blackie bridge another fishing spot.

Wonderful place and an excellent play! I really enjoyed myself! Definitely coming back!

Its a good place to hangout with freinds but the park its self is in bad condition. The basketball court could use some work

Cool. We had a chance to see our friend Wardell Pearson Jr, coordinate a musical.

Could use some type of outdoor bathroom or discreet portapotty

This place is really nice! Nice stage and theatre style seats. Clean restrooms. Great venue for performing arts shows, recitals, spoken word, etc. Seats around 300.

Very nice inside. Bathrooms were clean. Thank goodness.

Ive visited this venue on several occasions for various shows and events. The venue itself is nice. The bathrooms never have enough hand soap. I do like that access to the dressing rooms is directly behind the stage.

Nice intimate theater. Parking isnt free but not unreasonablem

Love this area ! I play pokemon go here and its amazing for that with easy parking

Pretty cool place. Bathrooms were clean. The appearance was nice and clean. Only issue I really had was parking. Now imma take a jump and say parking is not with them. But I never received a ticket for the car to confirm my meter. And when calling the parking company the operator was clueless about many questions I had. People need validation about making sure its okay to park. Now I did download the app and my car never appeared in the location of the app and rather me to pay more. But I decline and removed the app.

Ive had the chance to perform spoken word here twice and the facility is very clean. The auditorium is also spacious and well lit.

Loved it here. My daughter has performed quite a few times here, even some of her 1st talent shows. ShaNia Smallwood

Went for a pageant. My first time there. Really nice. Seats are hard, but otherwise, a great venue.

The kids did a awesome performance hope to see them again

Had a great time their tonight, loved the show.

Beautiful location on the outside. The inside could use some work

Beautiful space and plenty of parking in lot (I suggest paging upon entrance as there is only one kiosk). Seats are not cushioned so can be uncomfortable after some time.

My husband and I so much fun. Thank u Franchella 4 the invite.

This venue was nice and well kept but in need of an update. Very pleasant experience.

Went for performance of play After the Music. I loved it!

Excellent venue for watching performances by the Delaware Valley Opera Company

Great little performing arts venue to have in the Northwest. Great sightlines and good acoustics, with parking adjacent.

First off great architecture and design...not that Im an expert in either... so many people including myself appreciated the beauty of the building. The issue I had was with a point person/staff member in particular. I did not get her name and I am sorry I didnt. During our dress rehearsal she told us we couldnt run through one of the dressing rooms because a meeting was taking place. Our choreographer asked if the meeting would be all night and if the dressing room was the only place the meeting could happen. The response was that the meeting was scheduled way in advance and that it takes 10 seconds to run from one side to the other. We needed to practice exits and entrances in order to make sure dancers had enough time. We also only had this one 2 hour rehearsal to feel out all the kinks before the show. I was not happy about the response bc running back stage is part of the rehearsal and she treated it like it didnt matter...like we didnt matter. I tried to let it go but then the day of the show I kept hearing consistent concerns from some of the attendees that there was a woman with a very angry disposition ushering people out the space after the show. Sure enough it was our good good friend whose name I regretfully didnt get. She had people feeling some kinda way. I dont know if her beef was with our group in particular but she came off as if we were an inconvenience. I wouldnt use the space again but that was my experience with the lady. I couldnt give it 4 or 5 stars bc of her poor service. Like I said the facility itself is beautiful and other staff may be pleasant, accommodating and welcoming...lastly the bathroom behind dressing rooms could use some febreze air or Lysol spray though.

I seen two wonderful plays at this venue

New facility. New basketball courts. New out door landscape. Close to Main Street activities.

My nephew sang at a concert there. Great facility.

My daughter, my niece and I loved watching the youth perform Aladdin. It was wonderful. The kids are very talented. The tickets were very expensive and the theater was very comfortable.

Hard to find, but once you get in theres a great world of arts to experience. Helpful staff combined with a strong sense on community keeps the place held up.

This is A Beautiful place, we are here for my daughters dance recital.

We was the life of the party. Hell yeah. UE Boom crew.

This is my second time visiting, the place is great; but never sure about parking, both times told it was free, after the fact.

I love love love this structure and the space dedicated to the arts. The stage, lighting, sound, rehearsal rooms, theater seating are more than I expected when I first visited here. And I love performing here! Great job City of Philadelphia.

My son loved the splash 2 pads there.You do need to find someone to get it turned on though.

Is a great theater location. It looks new and is very clean and high tech. If you have a need for a stage and theater style seating this is the location for you.

Nice place for plays seats need cushion

Wish all parks got this treatment! Kids really need a place to go after school.. This place is so beautiful

The only complaint with this place it to cold inside!

Nice venue! Hope to see more of it. Never been ,had no knowledge of it

Cute little theater. Great acoustics. Have enjoyed all the shows weve seen there!

Great. It was very clean inside and outside the seating ws great could see everything on the stage. I would suggest parking on the property....parking on the street is a major hassle. There are plenty of places to eat since your right in the heart of Maneyunk I would definitely recommend

Place was clean inside and out great venue. stage and set up of seating makes for an intimate experience .

Awesome place love it great staff

Cute little playhouse - but MAJOR inconveniences. Decent venue for small productions but not so catering to patrons.Only 2 entrances in/out of theater. If sitting up high, you have to climb all the way to the mid bottom seating area to get out ICOE.Very steep climb to upper seats with NO RAILINGS. So folks with ambulatory issues or who have trouble navigating stairs, beware! Bulk of seating requires using stairs, up or down. Get there real early if you hope to nab the small crop of seats that dont require stairs to get to them. They go fast.Ample parking, but no signs offer guidance to newcomers or out of towners on how or where to pay for parking. There is only one kiosk to pay for parking. One! Its at the entrance to the lot.You cant drive up to it. Its stationed where you cant get out of your car to get a ticket and drive over and park without blocking traffic.You have to find a spot, walk ALL THE WAY back to the kiosk and pay for a timed ticket - then walk ALL THE WAY back to put the ticket in your car dash - before you go in without incurring an unreasonable surcharge if you do not pay.Bathrooms are not atrocious but ok. First time, there was no toilet paper. You might need to BYOTP some nights.A good show reduces most of these to minor annoyances; however, bad weather makes it worse.

Great seating, sound system issues

Nice place but really tight on space. Parking lot is tiny.

Wonderful shows ,I enjoyed myself while there.

Loved the shows being perform there!

It was beautiful n very entertaining

It is a good opportunity for young people to express themselves.

Nice theater. Could definitely use a good vacuuming but over all... very nice. Go ASH theater!!

Great little venue great time had a blast

You have to pay for parking. You will have to pay attention to your time. They will ticket soon as time run out.

This was my second year there. The employees there were great to work with during our show what ever we needed they provided. Recommend this to anyone have a show/recital

Clean, convenient, nice setup and crew, but paying for parking reduces my want to attend anything there.

The show Aladdin Jr. was great! My gramdson & jid friemd loved it. The theater was small & intimate for the actors to interact with the audience. I had a great time.

Great location, an awesome panoramic view and very clean.

I thought it would be bigger, but I had a great time.

Great place.... concerts...........check it out.

Fantastic environment, extremely helpful, inviting, welcoming and hardworking staff, phenomenal performance spacing!

Small and your vehicle will be towed in the parking lot if you dont pay.

The place is beautiful. Plenty of paid parking. Sound was great!

It was a beautiful place to visit also the veiw

I did a dance performance here two weeks ago for a play. The building is beautiful and the stage is a good size.

Really nice theatre, sometimes the bathrooms get stopped up and the sound is a bit soft

Fine for small venues. Parking on site for a fee. Nice and clean.

What a pleasant surprise. Wonderful facility.

This is a hidden gem in Philly. Btwn the water slide and sprinkle garden kids and a tour of the storm water treatment museum its a neat half-day trip.

A place you can go to and see quality performances thats affordable......

Surprising great acoustics for such a small place. Seating can be difficult to reach for older/disable folks.

Beautiful place

Visited for the first time over the Christmas holiday to see a beautiful play. Beautifully spacious auditorium.

It was an amazing experience tonight.

Nice location with parking. Only negative is you have to pay at kiosk which is not readily visible

Beautiful inside and out

This venue is AWESOME

Clean building stepS too steepShow was really nice

Its a beautiful theater. Its open to the public

Excellent performance venue for middle and small audiences.

Good place to see a show.

Enjoyed the clean facility and the show was great as well.

Needs better lighting on the marquee. Mistaken the building for a parking garage

State of the art place to watch a show.

Great place

Nice playhouse

Great theatre space tucked away on Venice Island in Manayunk

I do plays and take acting classes here
