Concert was over the top, great entertainment. They played ALL of the favorites, never missed a beat.

The last thing I saw here was The Nutcracker, preformed by the Williamsport Civic Ballet. My daughter enjoyed it immensely because one of her classmates preformed in it. The theater itself is gorgeous and a lovely place to experience anything on a grand stage. There is also a wide variety of things to see here.

We are very blessed to have this amazing venue in such a small city, and the level of talent that they attract is rather amazing. Having been raised outside NYC, and exposed to Broadway rather regularly, this venue comes close, without the expense and hassles of the city. Highly recommend you look them over, before driving 2-3 hours to a larger venue to see live shows.

Building is beautiful, staff is okay depending on who you deal with. I can't say that I ever get exceptional anything when I go here, but there are limited places to go for shows in this area. CJ and the gentleman bartender in the lounge were super nice and went out of their way to be helpful, other than that, I can't say I am super impressed.

The building was amazing, very old, interesting, unique, the staff is extremely pleasant and helpful. They were nice enough to warm me when I ordered tickets that there is no leg room in the balcony seats, they weren't kidding!! For what you pay and the convenience that it's right here in Williamsport, I think it's a good value for your money, depending on if the event interests you. I attended the Masters of Illusion show and this week I am attending the Behind the Myths - Myth Busters Live Tour.

Been here to see plays as well as musical and bands. It is a great old theater that has great acoustics. Its a beautiful old theater.

I liked the fact that it was within walking distance of a lot of other things in town. Shows vary and seems to be something for everyone. Only thing I didn't like was the ability to upgrade a ticket. If you find a seat better than the one you had, you have to pay full purchase price. I'd like to see some type of exchange set up.

My intention was to follow my much-loved band, KANSAS. But the venue was a real gem. Staff was pleasant and professional. The setting was gorgeous, and the acoustics were perfect. As a solo traveler, I sometimes feel threatened, but not here. Interestingly, the adjacent couple was there for a CAC subscription . . . a novelty for a rock-concert groupie.

Nice lounge upstairs before the show, great acoustic quality for orchestra performance. Seats are just big enough but can be a bit cozy. Wish the staff had stopped the front row couple from getting up and dancing every other song--soooooo distracting from the musical performance. Building architecture is gorgeous and a classic theater atmosphere. Will return for future events even though it's 100 miles away from home.

Just saw Blue Man Group show at Community Arts Center in Williamsport PA. There was a very energetic & receptive audience in this magnificent restored theatre. Fun time was had by all.

Loretta's show was awesome! The CAC is a great place to see shoes. Really not a bad seat in the house. Only complaint is the seats are really crammed tight. Not much room to move.

I have seen many performances at this theatre/auditorium, and it is a great place to see a show. I really enjoy being in the first few rows up inThe Loge. Good views and acoustics.Enjoy the show!

The theatre is a gem, and if you plan your trip well in advance you can even see some quality acts. If you're in town, it's certainly worth a visit, but if what's showing is a local production, you may be a bit disappointed, as the local talent barely rises to the level of a good high-school performance.

This is one of those beautiful old theaters that spent decades as a neglected movie house, but was brought back to life by a renovation in the 1990's. All the original decoration was restored, and the result is indeed elegant. I have been there many times. The shows vary, and so does the audience. I've seen some unforgettable performances, but endured one show with my seat being constantly kicked from behind by a youngster whose father refused to control him. There's a big lounge upstairs that is open after many of the shows, where you can go to have a drink and meet the artists. Volunteer ushers are always friendly and helpful. But of course, everything depends on what it is you're actually seeing. There is everything from the Williamsport Symphony, to different community performing groups, to nationally known pop and country stars, touring Broadway musicals, you name it. So if the show is one you like, you will find this a great place to go.

Williamsport's Community Arts Center is a small city gem. One does not have to travel to the big cities to get a variety of first rate enjoyment.A beautiful, classic venue, staffed by knowledgeable and courteous volunteers, the CAC provides a variety of enjoyable entertainment throughout the year.From the Williamsport Symphony Orchestra to Broadway shows ("Chicago" was terrific last year), to comedy, to homespun Americana (Garrison Keillor is here in August), to music (The Beach Boys, Diana Krall, etc.), to a variety of Holiday shows, and more, this is the place. It's not Broadway, but it offers something for everyone.
