Wow I thought this building was for the school. I didn't know there were community events here…read more Such good ones too! My husband and I like to cuddle on the couch after a long day and watch funny videos and comedians on the phone together. While at our local public library I saw they had a flyer with Jeff Foxworthy on it. That is how I learned about this facility and events. With our 28th wedding anniversary here I thought what a great idea to see his show. We love to laugh. Clean and nice with lots of seating yet cozy. Not a bad seat in the house. Easy to access clean restrooms and beautiful art hung along the walls you may purchase. The only bummer about this place is the seating design. The rows are too close together and if you have to get up or get to your seat, the whole row must get up to let you in and out. We enjoyed the show. They offer refreshments, snacks and cocktails. Nothing fancy. They take donations and have membership options as well for those who would like to attend a lot of shows. Can't wait to go back. They do have handicap access and seating.

The setting is intimate, which makes the whole experience feel really interactive and personal. We were laughing out loud the whole time.

Highly recommend if you're looking for something different and memorable.

Fantastic community theatre hidden in plain sight in Peoria. We attended a production of "Something…read moreRotten" this past weekend and it was so much fun. The cast was great, extremely enthusiastic, talented and obviously were having a blast on stage. I had never been to this venue before; it is definitely worth checking out. Perfect size, seating is great with good views from anywhere. There is not an over abundance of "traditional" parking, just a small lot with the majority of parking along the street very close by. There is a concession space for cocktails, drinks and such inside. The staff is friendly and helpful. Take some time off the beaten path and go check out Peoria Center for Performing Arts. I'm glad I found this venue. Recommended.

My daughter has danced for 7 years and has grown in every way possible with Elite. Not just her skills as a dancer but overall, especially in her confidence. They focus on technique and take the time with each dancer to help improve their craft. Each teacher truly cares about each student and wants them to be their best. All of the other dancers and parents are so friendly and welcoming. I can't believe it took us this long to become apart of the Elite Dance family. They are all amazing, caring and very skilled in their teaching. We love them.

I saw one of my favorite acts here, but it was strange "hanging out" at a pseudo-Spanish-revival venue planted in a sea of asphalt, golf courses, and blue hairs along with a bunch of scene kids. The theater itself is massive, so the aspect of intimacy is right out. The sound was less than stellar and the expanse of the venue seemed to suck everyones energy away. I think the performer even commented on it. Then, the venue ran out of beer at first, then ran out of booze, then lastly anything that was currently in a liquefied state at all. Compounded by the fact that there was a single bartender pouring bottles of beer into glasses and making mixed drinks at EACH OF THE TWO WET BARS, the lines for alcohol service were about 45 minutes long -- and this was BEFORE the show. They ran out of alcohol entirely before the headliner went on, luckily i had a chance to drink a Alaskan Amber (shocker that they had a nice beer on hand) and double fisted a Jack and Coke (which is really weird for me to order, but it was literally ALL THEY HAD, and i might have got one of the last pours of the night despite there being about 50-60 people in line behind me. Overall, the old people really seemed to be out of their league, but polite and helpful. I probably could have skipped buying a ticket to this event and just walked right into the show due to the overwhelmed staff. I also could have been chugging a handle of Glenlivet as i did so and no one would have stopped me -- well, other than the thousands of alcohol-thirsty concert-goers. Luckily not too many prominent people go here that i want to see. As a positive, the bathrooms were big and clean.

The acting was amazingly good for actors so young and presumably inexperienced. The only downside to the evening was that ALL the actors, and especially Ms. Marples, spoke too fast and did not articulate as actors should. We were able to understand about every 5th word she said and about every other word from other actors. Still, the young crew was so obviously into it all that it was a very enjoyable evening.
