The theatre is always beautiful, comfortable and clean which makes every visit feel special. We have been season ticket holders for years now and it has been fun starting to recognize our fellow subscribers and neighbors around us. Everyone from the ushers to the concession staff is always friendly and helpful. From the fun show themed drinks to the must-have cookies and impressively efficient intermission lines, PPAC continues to be one of my favorite places for a night out in Providence. Thank you for another great season and many memorable nights.

Beautiful theater located in a fun area, with plenty of parking nearby…read more Our group arrived shortly before the start of the show, and breezed through security. It both felt safe, as security searched my purse, and I noticed actual police presence, while being highly efficient. At intermission, I was impressed by how efficiently the women's bathroom line moved, particularly as we were seeing a female-audience heavy show (Suffs). They had staff directing traffic upstairs and separate lines to people moving. We were seated in row PP, so I'd actually recommend splurging for the better seats, because this is a theater where it matters to your show experience if you're closer. You'll see better and feel more immersed in the show. Actors and show quality were very impressive and I don't recall seeing as many venue staff in Boston theaters as they had here. After this experience, I'd prefer to go into Providence for theater moving forward to going into Boston.

We knew we were going to be in the area around the time of WaterFire so we made sure to find a…read moreplace to stay and spend the night here. We had never been to anything like this or even really heard that much about it so we were interested to see what it was. WaterFire started about 30 years ago as an art installation that was meant to bring more people to the area and it definitely works. They light the braziers along the rivers, pipe beautiful music through the air and have volunteers on boats going from spot to spot, tending the flames and refilling the wood. There are tons of people there. Just walking and enjoying being outside and being together. The vibe is so relaxed and so peaceful but yet busy and exciting at the same time. It's kind of hard to describe unless you see it for yourself. We headed out around dusk when there was still light in the sky and it was a little chilly but I soon forgot about that. Words can't really express how you're just sort of drawn into the piece and beauty of this whole thing. I feel like this review can't even do it justice. We walked around for over an hour but our dog did start to get cold even though we had her in her jacket, so we headed back to where we were staying for a little while. Once it was dark and we were all warmed up, we headed out again because it was just so enjoyable to be there that we really wanted to come back. The second time we wandered through the street fair area and looked at some of the tables and street vendors. I got a really cool ring that was made out of a an old ornate spoon. There were also food vendors but everything was pretty busy so we ended up getting food on the way back to our hotel. There were families and groups of friends and couples, all just soaking in the magic and ambiance and ultimately we drifted back towards the water again because that is where the real magic is. We sat for a long time watching people float by in gondolas and watching the volunteers slowly push the boats through the canals, adding wood to the flames causing them to rise up. Everyone was friendly and in a good mood and strangers were chatting with each other. There was a real sense of community and peace. This was honestly one of the most romantic evenings I've had with my husband in a long time as well. We nuzzled noses and shared a few kisses to the music and the flame. If you are anywhere near Providence during WaterFire, don't even think about it just go. It's totally free! You don't need tickets or even to plan really. You can just enjoy the fire light and the music and being together in a beautiful place. It's absolutely unforgettable.

One of the Chinese dragon boats from the Pawtucket Dragon Races made an appearance as well. The event was very well attended, with many areas of the Riverwalk at capacity during peak times.

A great way to bring downtown Providence alive !

We had so many people come up to us after the wedding to tell us how awesome the band was and how much fun they had dancing and singing their hearts out.

Rob stuck with us periodically checking in throughout and honored what we agreed to all that time ago. Any time we spoke, it was as if we've known him forever and he doesn't forget things spoken about. He promised us the best wedding experience and he came through. He had the dance floor moving and guided us smoothly through the evening. If you want a lively, energetic, and engaging DJ, Rob Peters is your man. He reads your crowd and makes it happen! We never second-guessed our choice after sitting with him at our initial meeting. I am so grateful for him and his staff. PS...

When selecting a DJ/entertainment for our family and friends festivity/elopement bash, I interviewed a SIGNIFICANT number of vendors. I found most of them to be WAY over priced and "sleezy"/ snake oil sales people. Rob Peters fit the "down to earth, love people/children, have a heart accommodating and reasonable" bill I was looking for. The chemistry was instant and I was hooked. My guests are still sending me emails raving about the food, cake AND the DJ!! (we may even consider flying him to Florida for a March event if we can get him cheap tickets!!!). The entire experience with Rob is stress free, interactive and he is very open minded. Above all, you will find them to be EXTREMELY professional, sophisticated without the "stuck up" / prissy attitude of many in the entertainment industry... They literally were the life of my party and had a great selection of latino music to make sure all my latinos had enough beat for their bones!
