madmax 1313

The seating isn't the greatest , it's very warm Inside , and expensive .

Kathy McKay

Nice open theater. No obstructions.

Geoff Aylward

The A & C is the main entertainment venue. There is a wide variety of concerts and other entertainments of exceptional quality. Pricing is very reasonable compared to what similar entertainment costs elsewhere. The staff are exceptionally helpful and accommodating. This venue has great accessibility for wheelchairs and those with mobility or other physical problems. One suggestion would be to allow the audience to be seated a bit earlier. Parking is tight. Occasional issues from producers about the sound mixing.

Phil Anthony

The Newfoundland symphony orchestra is one of my favorite things to do in the city. The arts and culture center is one of the pillars in the NL art scene.

Kaitlin Casey

Went and saw the Celtic Christmas show and it was so wonderful! I think it would be nice to offer better seating in the lobby though as it was crowded and hard to get through tot he refreshment bar

Nick Hender

The backstage is delightful

Parsa Tayebi

Pretty good place! The acoustics are very good and the amount of seats are amazing. There are many practice rooms and a massive backstage area available for use as well.

Renée F MacDonald

I've visited the Arts and Culture Center over the years for various shows and events. The building is quite spacious, clean and comfortable. No matter where you sit, you have a pleasent view of the stage. Ordering tickets are easy and the workers at the front desk and at seating entrances are helpful and friendly. Bathrooms are clean.

Chhicken LOL

Nice seating, and lovely service

Kayla Collier

Currently attending the Revue '21 Misgendered by 2 staff members. Not impressed. Make sure you have your Vax Pass AND your Photo ID. For Everyone in your party.

John Lobo

Now what review can I give about getting directions to a place.

Murray Phillips

Comfortable seats, good sound, excellent sightlines.

Simon Bonisteel

Had my convocation there and staff were both friendly and helpful.

KM Carp

Great arts community. Very accepting and accepting from my different experiences so far

FKN PHIL

Parking fills fast for big events. Good public library

Kevin

The arts and culture center itself is pretty decent. They have ample seating for many events, the stage itself is okay. The facility is a pretty large venue. It's always kept clean, and the box office is adequate. I think I have only ever been there for Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra productions. It's a great venue for those shows. I have been to several different conservatories and this one is pretty comparable in its Arrangements

Roger Kelsey

Aight

Anthony B.

Event- We Will Rock You (Queen). Good time had by all.

Tyler Temple

Great parking lot

Nolan White

Lots of interesting concerts held there and a great public library

Johann Weger

I've been going to this place since I was a baby and have incredible memories. The venue is inviting, with great sight lines and decent sound when the equipment is working right. My only complaint would be the vending machines and bar lines. Machine were out of water this past show. And the bar only serves for 15 minutes during the intercession so you would think they would develop a better system to manage the flock of people looking for a drink or bottle of water. And no Debit....cash only.

Jonathan Butt

Great venue with helpful staff. The concrete bunker style building is a bit dated but it is in keeping with the era of the construction.

Robert Coutinho

Really great lineup of shows

Teresa Frost

Beautiful setting...awesome acoustics.

Len Penton

Simply the best and biggest arts center of its kind.

David Flusk

In dire need of a facelift and updates. Dark and dated.

Andrea Cass

We practically live here. Great resource for the Arts in St John's.

Jessica Doyle

Have loved every experience I've had here

Joey Brothers

Great show at the Barbera Barrette theater tonight!

J Hansen

Love it

Jim Jubabir

Everything is good, but if you sit at the edge, you won't be able to see half the stage.

Andrew O'Brien

Great venue! Great staff!

John Hamilton

The entertainment is varied and there is something for everyone.

Michael Walter

The ACC is the one of the only venues its size in the city. Usually used for plays, and musicals, and music shows that aren't large enough to be in Mile One. For that purpose it is great. It shares the building with the AC Hunter Public Library as well as the theatre. Theatre seats are not the most comfortable.

Wayne Guzzwell

Excellent 1100 seat theatre. All seats have good sight lines and are comfortable. Sound is very good except for first three rows which seem to be beneath house speaker system. These seats seem to experience rebound sound off back stage wall from on-stage monitor system. Pleasant staff.

Liam Waghorn

Beautiful venue

George Pomroy

Great atmosphere.

Inshape Fitness

Everyone needs to go

Patrick Martin

I have been here for many events over the years. It is often dance shows but I have been there for music, singers and various artists. I have visited the library, relaxed in the gallery and enjoyed an odd meeting. It has so much flexibility of use that it is great. It is close to the university with a lot of parking. Issues: The website needs significant changes with better navigation, updated content and a more responsive experience. Parking options for events is limited. Better engagement tools are critical.

T M

There's really no bad seat in this venue.

Doug Crews

A truly great theater for plays or music performances.

Robert Young

Great theater, good for convocation.

Mel Woodman

We were in the downstairs theater. A little difficult to find but nice for a smaller production

Bryan Johnson

It is old building

John-Paul Murphy

Nice venue, comfy seats. Really nice building. they have a pre-show bar with a small selection of beer 2x the price youd pay if you just drank outside. They could use more than 2 urinals in the mens room, thats for sure. Line up out the door just to pee before the show.

James Thebeau

It was smaller than usual this year

Glendon Clarke

They provide culture and arts at it's best

Sean Murphy

Great sound, beautiful venue

David Matheson

Nice seating, great musicals

John Paul Handrigan

One of the best venues in town for arts, music, etc. It's also commonly (maybe always) used for Memorial University's convocations. Ticket prices for shows here are very reasonable.

Ryan Everett (STUDENT)

Pretty good

Brad K

This and the Holy Heart theater are two of the top venues for plays, ballets, and fancy-do's.
