FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre

Amazing place to see new and and classic shows in both music and comedy as well as for those who like TIFF, Sundance, and retro movies. Great for those who want to get out and have a date night and not have to pay Toronto or movie theatre prices. And those who want to get out and volunteer, we welcome you!!

First time visiting here and is a great venue . We sat in row H and will definitely keep this in mind as it’s at the right height compared to the stage level and basically we were at eye level with the musicians.

First time visiting to watch Howie Mandel who, a long with his opening act, were hilarious. Facility was clean and spacious, seating comfortable and washrooms were clean and modern. All staff were also welcoming and friendly.

I’m very impressed with the PAC, a high quality venue for a city the size of St Catharine’s. The lobby and entry areas are big and bright. The seating is VERY comfortable, and the smaller size of the venue means you’re always close to the stage. We were Row N, middle of the way, but it still felt like we were right close up! Acoustics are good, would’ve preferred slightly less decay time, but that’s just my preference really. That it’s downtown means there are a number of restaurants and bars to hang out at before and/or after the show.

Saw Elton John Impersonator this week. Fabulous show. This guy has talent. The venue was filled with helpful staff and a very clean venue. Sound is unbelievable. Would recommend for any show they present.

An amazing musical experience. The musicians were incredible! Will definitely look for future performances.

Incredible small theatre. Always an amazing slate of live shows. Two bars keep the lines moving. Sweet staff and volunteers. Worth the drive to St Catherine’s. Great sound and there isn’t a bad seat in the place.

Cute entertainment venue. Every space was incredibly clean, modern, and kept very well, including the washrooms, and everything looked new still despite them celebrating their 10th year anniversary. Our show was in the recital hall which is the smaller of the theatres but the seats were amazingly comfy and the space had good acoustics. Staff were helpful and friendly :) Drinks also, at the bar, surprisingly did not require a mortgage. $3 for water and $2.50 for soda may have been the most refreshing aspect.
