It is a great venue with comfortable seating and convenient parking .

Christine Livingston

Amazing. However toddlers and smaller age children do not belong especially when they kick your chair and eat potaoe chips loudly ...parenting 101....just sayin

Missy Urban

Best place to see Broadway! I've been to many shows here and never disappointed. It's a first class venue! Come see a show!

Gregory Ng

The super courteous doormen look like beefeaters to me. Thank them.

Jenni Bruckman

Box office here couldn't be better! Best advice: become a season ticket holder. They are fantastic about rescheduling tickets if you ever need to switch.

Erika Galluppi

Two words: bathroom attendants . Amazing! If only parking (namely leaving the garage ) was as smooth, efficient, and enjoyable.

Stacy

Drinks were surprisingly reasonable and you can pre-order them have cocktails waiting for you at intermission !

Steven Sosebee

The space is great for any kind of show. Get the Broadway season pass.

Fantastic venue. Check out their craft beer of the month for a delicious beer at a reasonable concert price

Mary Boone

Love this place! I wish Greensboro would hurry up & get a place like this. We drive to Durham a lot for performances & to Charlotte too.

Michael Huber

This place is pretty clean and appears to be a nice venue to watch a live show.

Gloria Richburg

Grand Tier middle, great seats, would not want to sit in a higher level, would appear to be looking down, instead of out at the performance

Krazy Kat

Amazing venue!! Do NOT park in the garage behind it though- park in the street or take a walk and park farther away. The garage can't handle all the cars exiting.

L Troy Adams

Stunning visual display of some of the most beautiful Christmas trees you will ever see.

Ann-Cabell Baum

Wonderful facility! Loved have a drink at Nana's (literally next door) before the show!

Mary Boone

Love this place! Beautiful venue for all kinds of entertainment! Hope Greensboro will have one of these some day soon!

"Edible Art " sells cupcakes at every regular season show. One of the best cupcakes I've ever had.

Holt Gordon

Best acoustics of any venue and great seats no matter where you sit !!!!!

Eva Hahn

Plus size seats! No joke. If you are tall and/or big hips ask for the plus size seats!

Paul

LOVE DPAC ! So beautiful, great view and facilities. Priscilla: Queen of the Desert was amazing!

Stephanie Suber

Season tickets for broadway series are worth it - even in the upper tier! Recommend going for the center, rows A-E, if you go for the top tier...

Durham Performing Arts Center at 14 minutes drive to the east of O2 Dental Group of Durham

Not a bad seat in the house. I prefer to sit on the grand tier leave for all shows.

Great Balcony Seating , not a bad seat in the house

Sally Stone

The best venue I have seen. Saw Ian Anderson there on Oct. 4

Great venue.....try not to sit in the upper balcony . It's way too high

The seats are arranged well . Not really a "bad" seat, just closer to the stage.

Apparently, they now have a cupcake vendor in the lobby. PEOPLE, I said CUPCAKES!!

So nice! Get a cocktail at intermission and bring it back in the theater with you

Great seats. Not too expensive .....

Buy your tickets early... well I guess it pays to know that the artist will be performing well in advance.

Great place. Very nice in the heart of Durham. Saw Wicked there and it was great!
