The PACE Center is one of my favorite venues because of the expansive free parking, comfortable seating, and beautiful theater. They have a huge variety of performances including musical theater, dramas, comedies, children's theater, comedians, and musicians just to list a few. Tickets are reasonably priced and the staff is always friendly and helpful. The concession stand has a full bar and most items/drinks are also reasonably priced. read more

We have attended the annual: since our arrival in CO. This theater has been so kind every year. The first year I was in a wheel chair. I am now able to function with my Service Dog. (They were so professional & kind to me & Bentley, my dog) The prices of tickets are so minimal it's great. We always can pick where we want to sit. The crowd is wonderful. Not obnoxious Literally ages 18-90!! Parents brings their children. Grandparents come along. Or just older folks coming for the memories. The crowd has never been 'out of hand'. Just fun. Like days of old. My husband and I mark our calendars for this event & THANK PACE for allowing this annual performance in Parker. To the performers Thank you too!! read more

I heard about the play, rock of ages, being performed at this venue. I made reservations for the last day of the show and I'm so glad I did! What an amazing cast and what a wonderful venue! All the staff were amazing and the show was incredible! read more

I've been to a few shows at PACE over the years- and always have a great time. I was very impressed by the recent production of shrek the musical- the cast was incredible and the freak flag song was my favorite. I applaud the cast for flying the pride flags - and hope they also felt the love and energy in the audience during their songs! Can't wait for my toddler is old enough to see shows with me at PACE read more

love the shows they offer- we have been to plays, musicals, concerts and art shows. Love the parking availability and even have seen a production at the historic school house building. read more

A beautiful facility, great shows, and reasonably priced. Easy parking. Highly recommend for excellent entertainment.

Came here to see Michael Yo. What a great venue for Parker. The venue is very nice. Staff are very friendly. Parking is spacious. Decent little concession stand for snacks and drinks. You can't go wrong with seat selections. The seats are cascaded so you can see. Prices were very reasonable for show. I'm so glad I got to check out this venue. It was a great show. Michael Yo was hilarious. I would definitely come back to see more shows here. read more

Fantastic venue in Parker! We've enjoyed a number of shows here, from Irish music, to comedy gigs to The Sound of Music. Excellent location, easy parking, modern and comfortable. Every seat in the house is a good one as it's a relatively small theatre. Plenty of shows to choose from - get your tickets today! read more

Visited the PACE Center for the first time when attending a Pete Souza event, and it was a positive experience. Free parking adjacent to the facility, convenient box office location upon entry, comfortable lobby. There's a concession stand with necessities and simple options. It's an intimate setting, comfortable seating, a good sound system, and an overall customer-friendly environment. read more

We just saw 'Escape to Margaritaville', the show was so amazing bravo ! The PACE center was beautiful, parking was super easy, and we immediately we were greeted by the friendliest, most cheerful volunteers. There were no lines for the restrooms, so that was another plus! The outside patio was lovely and made for an uncrowded lobby because of so much space. We will definitely be going back to support the arts! read more

Hubby and I just went to our first performance at PACE - A Chorus Line - and both of us were delighted! We recently saw Oklahoma! at the Denver Performing Arts Center, so I felt like my expectations might be too high for a community theater. I needn't have worried. PACE delivered a high energy, superbly acted, creatively choreographed production with top-notch vocals. Bravo PACE! We will be back for more! read more

This is a fabulous place to see the Nutcracker! The venue is beautiful and the Nutcracker by Denver Ballet Theatre is top notch. I highly recommend going and enjoying this professional ballet and getting into the holiday season. read more

I went to see Fiddler on the Roof which was very good although it didn't have the big booming voiced actor that I would expect for the lead role. It was absolutely amazing how many people they could fit on the stage. Unfortunately they also decided to see how many people they could fit into the audience as well. The seats are very tight. I'm 6'5" and my knees jabbed into the back of the seats in front of me. I'm not fat but, I do have broad shoulders and my shoulders were wider than the seat. Even my love, who is only 5'6", complained about the seats being uncomfortable and crowded. There's a bar/concession stand there for before and intermission, but the lines are almost always really long. The productions are within my threshold of pain price-wise and it sure is nice to not have to drive all the way downtown. Another thing that bothers me about this place is they don't do a good job of supporting the local artist community. The show in the Bellco Credit Union Art Gallery was a Horse art exhibit and not a single Parker artist was on display. There is a group called the Parker Artist Guild that has all sorts of local artists and they wanted to hold their meetings at PACE, but their prices are way too high for the area. I want to like it more and I will see some events here, but it just falls a little short for me. read more

The hubs and I came here for the first time last night to see Wonderbound. The best part was the ample parking and ease into the theater. We ended up in the first row at the corner so the seats were a little too close. I didn't see a seating chart on line which could be user error on my part. Now that I have a better idea of the layout this is a great intimate theater to see a show in. read more

Just opened this month! My first opera experience, can't beat a $10 ticket and not having to drive to Denver. Check out their website, they got so many events lined up on their calendar. read more

Great venue. Beautiful facility - fabulous seating with fab views of the stage from anywhere in the house. Sound & lighting is top notch. Backstage the crew is terrific - jumping in to unload & schlep gear, answer questions, point folks (bandmates) to the dressing rooms & green room, tape down cable runs, etc. As a performer, it was a terrific experience - looking forward to playing there again. read more

Organized and friendly with great children's programs.

I've seen three performances and one art gala at the PACE Center. I have also stopped by to play the instruments outside a few times. I have to say this is the best community theatre and events center I have ever been to! They do a great job with the performances, and the theatre must seat more than 300 people. They also have great lighting for displaying art! After growing up in Parker (where there was absolutely nothing to do... I'm not joking) it's really nice to see a more central location for the community to gather for events! The reason I am only giving the Parker Arts Culture and Events Center two stars is because I do not believe they supporting the community. Their prices are too high for most local groups to hold meetings here. read more

This is one of the most exciting things to happen in Parker for the arts in a very long time! The three performances I've been to were fantastic! The VIP opening night was amazing, the sound quality and seating arrangements make it so that there literally is NOT a bad seat in the house. Country on Mainstreet was a great show but the promotions for it were a bit misleading.. it was a musical review not really a musical which was what I was expecting. I agree with one of the reviewers below I'd like to see the pricing for local arts groups like the high schools, dance studios and smaller theater groups be able to afford to have their productions in this beautiful stage. The PACE Center did work with the Parker Theater Academy and Parker UMC for the community production of Fiddler on the Roof this summer and it was fantastic. All proceeds went to the Parker Task Force food bank. The installation of the artwork at the front of the building is just beautiful and is almost completed.. if you haven't been by lately, come and check it out. read more

We had the opportunity to go and see The Nutcracker on opening day. This was the first show I have here at PACE. First of all, parking seemed ample and we only had to walk couple blocks to get a pre-show snack. Upon arriving for the show, everyone was so kind and helpful. Will call was quick and we found our seats easily. The seats were fairly comfortable and I thought this was a great place to watch a show. I'll return. read more

I would give the Parker Arts Center a great review, but their website is very difficult to use. I spent 1 hour just trying to get 6 afternoon tickets to a show and then a week later, I found out that they made the tickets for evening and not for afternoon. I tried to reorder them and the darn website switched them on me again from afternoon to evening.. So check your tickets well. A new web master might be in order. read more

Several months ago we reserved the event room at the Pace Center for our wedding! We were so excited! Becky was wonderful and helped us throughout the planning months! The venue staff were helpful and everyone, especially Becky did everything they could to remedy the town of parker's poor and unprofessional handling of the parade, road closures, and parking lot osure that took place the same day. Our day ended up being everything we wanted and it wouldn't have happened if it weren't for Becky and the Pace Center's diligence, communication, and patience! Amazing Day, Aazing location! Not to mention the cost was fantastic! read more

Just went for the first time and loved every minute of the play. I'm going to bring my whole family. Good job!

Very fortunate to have such a wonderful venue here in the Town of Parker. The staff are professional and the theatre is what brings us to Mainstreet! read more
