It's been a number of years since I've been to this venue. When I recently attended a show here I remembered just how much I liked the layout and the acoustics. This theater is quite comfortable, the staff people working are all quite friendly, and the decor is very pleasant. The only area I think some improvement could be made in is the area of concessions. I paid $12 for two bottles of water and a cookie. It just seems to me this markup is outrageous. Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed the show. read more

Harris Center/Three Stages - Performing Arts Near Me - Folsom, California

I watched the Swan Lake ballet performed by World Ballet Company at the Harris Center. I felt it was an overpriced, mediocre performance. I got bored by the sets and dancing quickly. My ticket cost $100 plus a $7 service fee. If you want professional ballet, you have to head to SF Ballet in San Francisco. Harris Center is part of Folsom Lake College, a community college. It's a school auditorium. Rows are narrow. Seats are not that comfy or spacious. It does not compare to the beautiful performing arts theaters in downtown Sacramento or San Francisco. There were two sets of restrooms on the main floor. Not very many stalls in one women's restroom, maybe like 6. I thought this wording on the ticket and parking permit printout was confusing: "Ample parking is located adjacent to the Harris Center facility in Lot D." I guess the Harris Center is located in Lot D because there is definitely not enough parking in Lot D alone. We and many others ended up parking in the much larger nearby Lot C. Passes purchased through campus kiosks are $2. On the map, I saw three Daily Parking Permit kiosks located on College Parkway, the loop around campus. Passes purchased online or through the box office are $3, incurring a $1 administrative fee. If you order online, remember print your parking permit to display on your dashboard. It's good that parking is easy and inexpensive. read more

Excellent friendly docents. Look forward to my next visit at this location. read more

Harris Center/Three Stages - Folsom Piano Academy Spring recital - Performing Arts Near Me - Folsom, California

This was an AWESOME show at Folsom Harris Center Three Stages! They played most of the Dark Side of the Moon for the first set, plus an assortment from both Wish You Were Here, and The Wall for the second set. They had two levels of lasers. We had balcony seats so we could see multicolor multipatterned lasers aimed at the balcony wall below us AND another set of multicolor multipatterned lasers aimed up at the back wall above us. The show was 30 minutes then a 20 minute intermission then another 30 minute set. Awesome music and laser experience! I got tickets through the Events Tickets franchise. In the future, for this ticket franchise, I would suggest they either include Folsom Lake College parking passes in the price, or add a link to purchase them. We knew that we needed a parking pass since we had attended concerts there before. Thus, we searched the Harris Center website for parking passes. On site, you can buy an all day parking pass for $2. Online they cost $3 for all day. You MUST buy a parking pass or you do risk a fine and ticket from the Folsom Lake College Police. We saw a couple return to their car because they did not have a parking pass. read more

Harris Center/Three Stages - Mom smiling - Performing Arts Near Me - Folsom, California

The center was very clean and had plenty of friendly staff to help kept it organized and running smoothly. Enjoyed the concert

First ever visit. Pop music concert. Sat in second row. Portable seats that had lots of extra legroom. Many people have told me that this is a great venue. I don't think it is anything special. The auditorium interior is very plain. The tan walls, floors, & seats looks dated and tired. Can't comment on the sound system from my stage front seat. No idea what sound quality is in the back of the room. My ambivalent opinion is due to comparison. I live 4 miles from The Venue of Thunder Valley casino that has a 4,500 seat auditorium that is truly impressive. read more

I had the fortune to attend a holiday performance of the River Bells handbell ensemble at the Harris Center. This was my first time visiting the new and impressive performing arts center at Folsom Lake College. The facility is located in the back of the campus following a long drive from Bidwell. Parking is generous, but you may need to walk and pay a fee. I do recommend dropping off those with mobility challenges at the entrance. The facility has multiple theatres optimized for small to large performances. On this visit, we were in a smaller theatre in the back which was reminiscent of a lecture hall in college, but with a much more interesting subject. Unfortunately, seats have not grown much even though most patrons have. It can get very tight for larger and taller people. I recommend the first row as you have much more legroom. The sound and lighting were good with no noticeable issues. Harris Center was designed for large performances with the central lobby having multiple restrooms with lots of space. There is also a small bar selling drinks and other items, plus a free coat check which is nice. The lobby is also very attractive with a high ceiling and lots of light. It is nice and understandable that Folsom is becoming the star of Sacramento County. It may soon surpass downtown Sacramento with a nicer old town, and more amenities. I don't think that any major shows will skip G1C or SAFE anytime soon, but the Harris Center allows east county folks an opportunity to get dressed up for a performance. read more

Harris Center/Three Stages - Theater Lobby at Christmas - Performing Arts Near Me - Folsom, California

Went to see Shen Yun last week. The show was amazing! There is NOT A BAD seat in this place, but will say lower level seats $$$ are not always the best seats. Staff (who are all volunteers) are there with a welcoming smile and hellos. They will assist with locating your seat, directing to restrooms and elevators. All very helpful and friendly. The coat check lady even was willing to take a pair of eye glasses I found in the ladies room to the Lost and Found for me. Always a great experience here. read more

Harris center charged me 196 dollars for tickets with a face value of 39 dollars. When I contact them about this issue they told me tough. They wouldn't clarify. The show is put on by armatures and children. They stole money and will not explain. Don't go here read more

The venue is comfortable, clean, and well staffed. For a smaller venue it feels incredibly spacious and open.

I went to Harris Center for the first time to see Herb Albert. Before the concert I could find no indication on the world wide web that there would be beer and wine available. Well, there was, beer and wine only at one stand to right, after you enter the concert hall. A limit of two per person, and they closed both concession windows (the other was for soda and snacks) when the concert started. The concert hall was easy to get to, just turn right off Bidwell into the center of the campus, drive up the hill and park. The concert hall is very intimate, I wasn't expecting to see one of the best concerts of lifetime here. read more

We had the opportunity while visiting the area to attend our oldest granddaughter's graduation from Folsom Lake College on May 18, 2023 at the Harris Center on campus. First time in this venue & what a beautiful venue it was! Large parking lot, curbside drop-off at the entrance, spacious lobby, clean bathrooms. Inside the theater held comfortable seats with rows spaced adequately apart, acoustics were spot on. We were seated on the 2nd level near the balcony & had a fantastic view of the stage as well as the ground floor as the graduates walked in. It's a good-sized theater with a cozy feel. This was the 2nd ceremony that day. The college had so many graduates, they had to split it in 2 scheduled times. The ceremony lasted about an hour & then the graduates marched outside the front entrance to be greeted by family & friends. Overall, I was quite impressed with this venue. When I'm in the area again, would love to catch a production of some kind. Seems like the type of place that one can truly enjoy the performing arts read more

I've always enjoyed coming to the Harris Center. The last time I visited it was to watch the Nutcracker back in 2018 and sadly I hadn't been back since. However, last night I got the pleasure of returning and getting the opportunity to see comedian Felipe Esparza. What a wonderful venue for the occasion. For whatever reason, I remember it being bigger than it was last night but I don't think I was paying all that much attention before. Anyways, the staff were delightful and helpful. The show was amazing. The audience was great and the parking is a plenty! If you get the opportunity to come see any shows or performances at the harris, do it! You won't regret it! read more

All seats are probably good seats. I have seen 2 shows here Shen Yen and Abba. I suggest for Shen Yen you sit near the front so you can really experience it. We wait in Orchestra Right L 11-13. I wouldn't recommend these seats, they are against the wall. When looking at the map it looks like you have an isle seat. The view was ok, but it was too far on the side. I recommend sitting in the middle section. The acoustics are great. There are plenty of bathrooms and they have a snack shack for those that get the munchies. You are welcome to bring water inside the theater. If you arrive early or during intermission you can pursue the art gallery by the front door. It is worth checking out. I recommend this theater for seeing a good show. Then it's up to you to choose the best seats for you. read more

Was very disappointed with staffing at performance due to covid vaccine policy. Recieved tickets with no mention of vaccine requirement. Came from out of state for the performance and new mandates were lifted. Staff were rude and uncaring and couldn't even guarantee refunds. Said it would be Monday but it is a holiday. People came with granddaughter who was around 7 years old dressed and excited to attend and to be denied entrance. Even though it wasn't relayed to us. There is no excuse to be cold hearted and rude.. read more

Our third time over the years to be entertained at this venue. Sat front row. Seats where different than the fourth row and back. They appeared removal. The other rows of seats seemed permanent. Like the fact of ushers. Nice clean environment. Perhaps getting a permit to serve alcohol. As glass of wine would have been nice at intermission. read more

I had the pleasure to be invited to attend the live performance of Mi Mexico by the principal dancer in the caliDanza dance company. Why was I invited you ask? Well I happen to be involved with the studio next door to CaliDanza's practice studio in Curtis Park. Needless to say, all the "floor shaking" practice and rehearsal that CaliDanza holds next door to my studio was evident in the beautiful performance at the Harris Center Theatre, at Folsome Lake College. The tickets were a little pricey ($20.00 - $39.00) but I suppose that it's not much more than going to see a new release move (after buttered popcorn and a soda.) The beautiful surroundings of the Harris Theatre provided an impressive and relaxing ambiance. Upon entrance, I noticed that the interior walls of the lobby happened to be covered with gorgeous blue slate, and the railings in the loft area are made with stainless steel pipes and cables. In the corner to the right of the entrance is a small cafe with bistro tables available for patrons to enjoy a cup of coffee or a cocktail before the show. I must mention that there is a free coat check counter as well...I don't how many times I have gone to the theatre and had to bundle up a huge coat on my lap because there was no where to put it. Inside the theatre: It beautiful, its modern, its super clean, and its new...need I say more? The performance: CaliDanza dance company presented a tasteful yet intriguing melodramatic choreography of Mi Mexico. I didn't know exactly what to expect as often times Foloriko ballet seems to be the same classic style. Yet this professional company presented a modern new innovative way to look at a traditional Mexican folk dance. I was truly impressed. My favorite number was Tzintzuntzan: de los Muertos. A dance depicting the ritualistic elements of Day of the Dead using traditional costumes, music and props. The Music: A live band on the stage (upstage right) provided beautifully composed music tailored for each number...with members from from different parts of latin america and Mexico. Between scenes, the band played intriguing musical vignettes , which provided smooth transitions throughout the show...I did not want this show to end but it had two, dang it :-( All in all, my experience at the Harris Center was magnificent. I hope I have sparked your curiosity and interest in visiting this lovely venue. read more

We came to the theater for the first time for a matinee showing of Monty Python's Spamalot (HILARIOUS!). I had no idea what to expect of this theater, being on a JC campus. I took some summer classes at FLC way back in the day when the school was literally a few portables and a parking lot. Wow, has it changed! Parking was quick and easy. The theater is gorgeous and modern, with a classic feel. The volunteers were friendly and helpful. The theater is small enough that there really isn't a bad seat in the house. The acoustics were amazing, we could actually hear what the actors where saying and singing, even with their "OUTRAGEOUS ACCENTS!" (unlike the shows we saw this summer at the Sac Community Theater). But I decided to remove one star for one important reason: It would be way too easy to die here. To some that might make it MORE attractive, but since I'm not emo it's not ideal. We sat in the balcony first row, and getting to our seats was like a zip line adventure, without the pretty trees....or safety harness. The railing that separated us from a death-plunge to the floor below was not even as high as our knees. To be fair, I AM part giraffe, but even for a normal person, the railing would not come much higher than the knee. Pair that with the fact that there are people sitting in seats, and you have to lean out and scoot by them, and that gives you the tightrope walking, sphincter-tingling sensation that I was not expecting at a musical theater. If you have tickets for that row, and you arrive AFTER people are already seated, bring your crampons and safety ropes! read more

Both shows I've seen were EXCELLENT! We'll be back! Highly recommend. Great for a family outing.

The venue was excellent. The seating was good. The staff was nice and helpful. They have goods shows.

I've been here several times to see performances but only in the main stage. Unique performances come to this location however it is only for 3 days.

Harris Center/Three Stages - Front row! - Performing Arts Near Me - Folsom, California

First time here. Convenient and easy ticket sales online. Thought I had purchased bad seats only a few left. I was seated all the way up in the balcony, last row...seat MM 102. Was actually a great view. Didn't feel crowded. I liked it! Will pick that zone again. If your a senior like myself just be careful with going down the stairs it was a little dark. There are handrails and stairs are lit a bit. If I had waited a little longer after the show was over they may have turned on all the lights. But I was trying to get out a little bit early to beat the traffic in the parking lot. The first few rows from the stage,on the floor are actually too close in my opinion. Thumbs up for this place! read more

We recently saw Jesus Christ Superstar and Johnnyswim within a week or so of each other and there were major sound problems for both shows. For all of Jesus Christ Superstar and for the acts that opened for Johnnyswim, it soundlike there was very little to no sound coming from the main speakers. It seemed like all the sound we could hear was coming from the stage monitors. This made it very difficult to understand the words being sung, and left us straining to hear the muffled voices instead of being filled with pristine audio like we usually experience there. We heard several other people complaining about the same thing, so it was not just us. The stark difference was when Johnnyswim performed. They brought Their own sound guy on tour with them, and the sound was loud, crisp and clearly emanating from the main speakers. We really love the Harris Center, so we hope that they will figure out what is going wrong with their sound personnel and fix the problem. read more

This was my first time here, October 2019. I live not far from here and the band that I tour with was playing with some of Jimmy Buffet's good amigos! The acoustics in the theater were incredible from behind the stage and in the crowd. The staff that night was incredible and friendly. I highly recommend this place to anyone to come and check out some music or art of any kind. The downfall, which I heard from many of the concert goers was the lack of refreshments or drinks at the venue. read more

The place is clean and the seating is Comfortable. Staff are always helpful and the location is great.

Impressive venue on a college campus to see some premium entertainment acts from all over the world. A wonderful concert hall but not too cavernous, Three Stages retains a feeling of intimacy. Jeff Bridges, The Actors' Gang, CAKE, Pete Escovedo are just a few of the folks coming through this season. Nice facilities, staff and ushers. Parking could not be easier or closer to the entrance. Except for a few chairs that appear waiting room- or conference room-ish, most of the seating is fixed, velvety and comfortable. Great view from loge/box/mezzanine, but there doesn't seem to be a bad view from anywhere you sit. And may I just say "Bravissimmo" to the Russian National Ballet Theatre. They put on a show seldom tackled by any ballet company. The production of "The Sleeping Beauty" was nothing short of SPECTACULAR. I feel thrilled and blessed to have seen this in my lifetime. Of course, it's my favourite ballet and fairy tale. How can it not be? Beautiful dazzling princess bestowed with all of the most extraordinary virtues in life... delightful lovely fairies protecting her... a snubbed vengeful fairy with minions... a spell saving the princess from death but leaving her and her kingdom frozen in time, trapped in slumber... and a brave handsome prince-- with guidance from fairy guardian-- determined to rescue the exquisite princess he met, once upon a dream. Love at first sight... first dance... first kiss..... Romantic much? Who, moi? *sigh* The Tchaikovsky score, the Petipa choreography... SO magnificently glorious, I couldn't help but tear up just a little. Whether Disney or the ballet, can I please, pleease just be the princess and live this fairy tale?! Incredible performances, engaging characters, breath-taking solos, stunningly pretty/handsome superlative talent, sparkling costumes... Exhilirating. Splendid. Joyous. I could watch this again and again and again. And Three Stages had the fine sense to host a few nights of this rare, gorgeous and brilliant classical ballet. BRAVO. read more

We took our children to see a production of the Wizard of Oz over the weekend. The production was great but I won't base my review on the show itself because the shows come and go. We really liked this theater! It was easy to find and parking was a breeze. We were confused as to whether or not we were supposed to pay for parking (since I think this theater goes with the college?) but we opted not to get one of the parking passes and it was fine. No one had one. Entering the theater was also easy. There were a bunch of people taking tickets so we didn't even have to stand in line. We were ushered to our seats by a friendly gentlemen. We were sitting in the front section and boy, it was a great view of the stage! My 3 year old was able to see fine from her seat but she did have to climb on our laps if a lot was happening on the ground. The audio was great! We could clearly hear all the actors and music. The lights and set were good too! The seats were comfortable! I'm a plus sized lady and the seat was great for me. My 3 y/o had to go potty during Act 1. The ushers saw us coming and used their flashlights to guide us over the steps. They were very understanding that a little person needs to rush to the potty. They opened the doors for us. The restroom was very nice and clean. We can't wait to come back to see another play at this theater! read more

Harris Center/Three Stages - Nice seats on the bottom level - Performing Arts Near Me - Folsom, California

Great venue - very similar to the Mondavi, but about half the size. From downtown it's a 15-20 minute drive, about a mile north of 50 on Bidwell/Scott Road. The stage, sound, and lights were all great. We saw Ramblin' Jack Elliot and then John Prine - a really great show for a small venue like this. They had us through the door and to our seats quickly, no muss, no fuss. A free coat check is at the enterance to the hall, nice. The parking lot is better managed than at the Mondavi, (and free!) - there are more than one exit from the parking lot and so it clears out in under 10 minutes or so. My only real complaint is they have no concessions to speak of other than a card table selling candy bars and chips - gross. I saw something about a small cafe - but it did not appear to be open when we were there. How about getting a beer and wine license and having a few snacks that aren't disgusting? I can't think of a venue this size anywhere that doesn't offer decent concessions. They could charge the normal exorbitant amounts (i.e. $8 for a local beer like Panic perhaps?) and easily make a profit, while greatly enhancing the experience. read more

This was simultaneously one of the most unique, enjoyable and bizarre rock concerts I've seen in a while. While local legends Cake showed they clearly still have what it takes to funk things up, the venue was more like a community theater, leaving me in an awkward purgatory between refined appreciation and rocker-rebellion restraint. I had never been here before and found the latest appearance of these hometown heroes to be a perfect opportunity. We arrived early and immediately found out this wasn't the "concert" atmosphere we expected. Almost any other rock venue between here and SF is a well-worn, decaying, mostly standing-room hall with floors sticky from beer and piss-soaked, graffiti-covered restrooms. Three Stages is where you go to see the local production of Oklahoma. Mostly older ushers were almost as common as the patrons, the interior is brand spankin' new, and worst of all, they don't serve alcohol! Keeping the music in mind, I stayed positive and headed into the main concert hall. Yet another layer of oddness as we were ushered down into the standing-room only section in front. The orchestra pit was clearly not designed for a rock concert and the stage was higher than everyone's head, making the purpose of standing up front (to be close to the band, duh) that much more difficult as everyone had to crane their necks and move back anyway. Furthermore, there was a limit to how many were allowed down there, meaning the shoulder-to-shoulder dancing with fellow enthusiasts was more like waving at a friend across the room. The dancing would have felt out of place anyway as the rest of the crowd, ranging in age from 10 to 70+, filed in and sat in comfy seats behind us. Was this a Cake concert or a speaker series for retirees? I immediately regretted not buying seats myself since they were just as close and folks could sit without any obstruction from us in the foreground. When the band finally came on, the silence between songs was painful. You could hear feet squeaking on the floor. I could hear someone cough in the balcony. It's not that the band was bad; they were actually at their best. It's just that Three Stages is not designed as a rock concert hall and the combination of ushers who scold you for sneaking Skittles in and patrons who clearly had no idea who this band was or why they were there seemed to dampen the experience. Next time I'll see Cake in the Bay Area like everyone else. read more
