    The Alaska Center for Performing Arts is an Anchorage downtown gem ! It was part of the Project…read more80's effort to create a world class performing arts venue in Anchorage. I attended a performance put on by Arctic entries. It was wonderful . The Alaska Center for the performing arts is beautifully designed. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. They made sure that all guests were comfortable and had everything they needed. The acoustics in the theater are outstanding. The seating is comfortable and offers great views from every angle , making it very easy to fully enjoy the performance . As I said earlier the show was spectacular featuring talented local residents who clearly put their hearts and souls into their seven minutes they had on stage to share their story . The atmosphere was warm, and the audience was certainly engaged from the start to finish. I highly recommend the Alaska Center for the performing arts to anyone looking for a memorable and high-quality cultural experience. Whether you're a local Alaskan or a visitor to Anchorage, this venue offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy world class performances and a stunning setting.

    As a Valentines Gift to my parents we went to opening night to SIX - The Musical. The broadway show…read moreis based in the Tudor era and the performers are singing original songs inspired by pop artists. Knowing nothing about the musical, I gathered it is based the following, "From Tudor Queens to Pop Icons, the SIX wives of Henry VIII take the microphone to reclaim their identities out of the shadow of their infamous spouse - remixing five hundred years of historical heartbreak into a Euphoric Celebration of 21st century girl power! This new original musical is the global sensation that everyone is losing their head over!" It was a very interesting, fast pace, audience participation and entertaining musical. It is nice to see a Broadway performance in Anchorage. Tickets ranged from $49 and up. Seats near the stage were over $150 while we opted for the Mezzanine seats @ $49. As you can see from the Mezzanie picture, we had wonderful seats. Overall: 4 stars for the Musical, the friendly staff, comfortable seats. The theater itself is beautifully decorated. Only CON is CenterTix doesn't have a Military Discount for all shows. It only has "special" dates for different associations. They say they do, but couldn't find any.

    ANNIE AN ABSOLUTE FUN NIGHT!!!!…read more Last night I went to opening night for the musical ANNIE. There was so much laughter in the theater, along with pure enjoyment of the performance on stage. Opening night was full. The audience enjoyed every bit as did I. Sure it was community theater but much better than a night of TV or movie theater. Everyone who enjoys being entertained should make the effort to go. Not enough of Anchorage remembers what a gift we have in the PAC. It was built with oil money that rolled in during the late 80's. The PAC and the shows that are produced there are great gifts to our city. I cannot say enough about the young and experienced talent in this show. The artists that designed the sets used their talented skills to the highest level. They do so much with so little resources. The chorus talent was highly trained. They did not miss a beat. The amazing and talented Annie (a remarkable 13 year old) projected her voice right to us in the very back row. She led the production flawlessly while maintaining her A level grades. Please take the time and enjoy this show. You will get lost in the enjoyment of the play as time flies by and you emerge thoroughly relaxed, in a great mood and highly entertained.

    I learned something. Something others should be made aware of…read more The Alaska performing arts has three separate theaters. If you're running late (like we were the last time) and you go in the main doors, you may find yourself being ushered in toward another set of doors adding to the already sinking feeling of being behind. A couple points to note: There are three theaters. The Sydney Laurence, the Atwood, and the Discovery theater. On several (but not all) doors there a list of what plays are where. The main doors lead to the Atwood. A side door around the side of the theater on 6th Avenue leads to the Laurence and Discovery theaters. Since I have now seen performances in all three theaters, I feel confident with all the remaining shows I plan to see. Just hope this helps everyone else.

    I had kind of forgot about our little gem of a theater Cyrano's!…read more To be completely honest the last time I went to a play here was when it was still downtown. I feel terrible I've neglected our wonderful little art house. The theater itself is so perfect and intimate, you feel absolutely immersed in the action when you're there. The volunteer staff is as friendly as could be, and amazingly helpful. The concession stand features LOCAL soda brewer Beach Tribe Sodas by Mike Jipping as well as Alaska made chocolates. They also have complimentary bottled water for patrons. The ticket prices are very reasonable. *pro tip- call them directly to purchase your tickets and skip the "booking fee" center ticks charges.

    This is a terrific local theater with well curated shows and delightful acting. The theater is…read morequite small and probably sits somewhere in the vicinity of 75-100 people. This means there really isn't a bad seat in the house. I was introduced to Cyranos in December of 2022 when I came for The Twelfth Night. The ability of actors and actresses to perform Shakespeare is, to my understanding, the measuring stick of truly superb acting. And the performers were excellent. They applied well thought out subtext and demonstrated an excellent command of the original language. I was hooked and could not wait to return for more plays. Since then, I have returned for two additional plays: The Book Club and First Day, the Musical. In addition to great acting and singing, the stage designs show an attention to detail and lots of forethought. Each time, I feel like I am walking into a brand new setting. Add the excellent lighting and sound folks back stage, and it's a truly amazing experience. Every performance I have viewed also comes with a new and exciting art gallery on display. The artwork is always intriguing. Additionally, they have a box office with coffee, tea, locally made soda, and a few snacks. I highly recommend this theater. They are doing an excellent job. I will caution you on one thing: parking. It is sort of a nightmare. This is not the place to try and show up at the last minute. Come early and expect there to be some Tetris involved in finding a spot. In winter with large snowfall, the road where many park becomes even more difficult to navigate.
