FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre

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.

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.

This was my first time at the performing arts center and it didn't disappoint. The view from the seats was amazing and very comfortable. All the ushering folks are volunteers and we're very helpful on directing everyone to their seats. Ordering drinks before the show and picking up during intermission is a great idea. Kuddoos for this.

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.

Every seat in the house is good! Accostics are perfect, every show I have seen at the PAC has sounded fantastic! Another great show tonight with Paul Langlois!!

Modern performing arts facility in downtown St.Catharines, great acoustics, bar.and layout. Easily accessible to parking and restaurants. Lighting and seating were excellent. We came to watch Pink Floyd Niagara, it was a grand sophisticated performance, with a large, talented group and excellent back up singers. It's definitely worth watching. In March 2024 we watched Pink Martini...they were excellent.

The acoustics are awesome in here. We came here a few times now, the entertainment never disappoints. All the staff are very friendly and helpful.

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.
