    The main auditorium

    Excellent talk by Dr. Sanjay Gupta for Tulsa Town Hall. Only complaint is the seating arrangement. No center aisle so every row of about 100 seats each has just 2 ways in and 2 ways out. Surprised the fire marshall let that pass.

    Tonight I had the pleasure of seeing the LaFortune Studio in the PAC for a private event. Maybe I'm late to the game, but this new space is fantastically eclectic. Ample seating, dance floor, bar and mezzanine with the coolest seating in town. Enter in the main door and go left upstairs and you'll find it at the end of the hallway. You can rent it, get in with tickets or even membership. Staff was great and drink/food bites were delicious as well.

    Tonight it was the Tuna Turner Musical. We're so fortunate to have all these great Broadway Shows coming to Tulsa. We sat in the Mezzanine, row J, right center. Great seats in my opinion. The sound was great and the show was very enjoyable.

    There is street parking and parking around the arts center. I called in to purchase my tickets which was pretty easy and it was quick to pick up my tickets at the box office. Everyone was friendly and then it was downstairs to find our seats. There is a concession stand and a bathroom both with long lines. Annie was a great show, loved Ms Hanigan and Grace. The seats were comfortable and it is a smaller theater which typically means good views from every seat. Glad I had a chance to check out the show and support our local talented artists.

    A beautiful space, and friendly ushers. Seeing the Lion King here was a five star experience. The Lion king production itself was spectacular. Well worth the 8 hour drive!

    In the room where it happened!!!

    Great venue. Great sound and view in the hall. We saw "Hamilton". Temperature was good and they had a bar available. There were plenty of bathrooms. Interior was beautiful.

    I have been coming here for over 10 years. I enjoy sitting in the balcony and love the atmosphere here!

    Tulsa Performing Arts, TPAC, is one of Tulsa's greatest attractions! If you've not been, you must go! We enjoy the comfortable, Chapman Hall Music Theatre for its size - it's not too big nor too small! In turn, there's not a bad seat in the house! We recently saw the play "Annie" and it was fabulous! The cast members, young and old, did an amazing job and added a twist of delightful humor to the play!!! It was also fun seeing all the "Little Annie's" in the audience! So darn cute! The theater is super clean, they offer an assortment of performances, it's very affordable, family-friendly, and always a fun experience! See their website for what's coming next!

    The Tulsa PAC. I am so thankful Tulsa has such a place. Where else can you watch popular Broadway shows in this town? I am always impressed with the line-ups such as Wicked, Chicago, and even comedy personalities like Jerry Seinfeld. The PAC houses four theatres, I believe. The smaller theatres also bring some great shows like Avenue Q. The Summer is filled with the SummerStage which is for local artists to showcase their performances. Such a great opportunity for Tulsa's talent! The Tulsa Ballet is another great example of the sort of shows that are offered at this venue. The staff is always pretty nice to me. I work there occasionally at the Candy Shack. The facilities are always clean and well taken care of.

    We are so fortunate in Tulsa to have the beautiful and well maintained Tulsa PAC. The quality of theater that tours through here and the wonderful quality in which it is maintained year in and year out I believe is such an addition to our city! This past week, we had the pleasure of seeing Hamilton! What an incredible musical! The talent was magnificent, the signing, the DANCING (!), set design (the revolving set was just terrific!)... we laughed, we cried! It was a wonderful evening. Our only regret was waiting to attend until the final weekend, because we would have loved to gone again! Thanks Tulsa, for treating us so well!

    i went to check out "i am my own wife" which was an intriguing play. i haven't been to play in years. it was in the room that didn't have a stage, it was more of a platform for a one person show, which is what it was & it was more suiting. the actor matt brown did an extremely good job, especially to have multiple voices, characters & such coming from one person. i'd like the setting & the way the seating is on both sides of the room. i've yet to go the main stage, which is something i plan on doing soon.

So, we didn't experience any issues with buying or obtaining tickets and seats. It had been years since I attended. The last time was the Woody Guthrie Centennial concert. That was a slick and highly organized affair and I thought this venue was the perfect place for the celebration. This time, it was not as slick or organized but it was a heartfelt event and I thought the staff was great. We definitely needed help finding our seats and they were great. (Floor, barely left of stage about six rows back.) I was a little surprised at the lobby and the "concession" area--very much in need of some sprucing up perhaps. It's still a historic venue and I think we're lucky to have it (along with Cain's) in Tulsa. I would definitely attend another event here and plan to.

So I wound up ordering online and thanks to their usurious service charges via Etix, it cost me almost enough money to buy a fourth ticket. They have Tulsa by the short hairs, and they know it, and they don't care. The place itself is old, tired, rundown and cramped. Yeah, I know the whole 'historic' vibe thing, but that doesn't matter when I'm cramped in a kiddie sized folding chair that was probably new when Enrico Caruso sang there. For the prices they charge, there's no excuse for the crappy service and environment.

They cater eclectic and queer (in its 'unconventional' meaning) in addition to comedic and quirky, providing entertainment that can be thought- and emotion-provoking as much as, or sometimes more so, than the fare you may find at a conventional, city-claimed performing arts center. The setting is intimate and raw. They do not scare aware easily from controversial performances, and that makes them precious. Some stories just need a safe venue in which to be shared, and they do every one differently with their own bootstrapping, unique style. Everything from a monologue performance of one person's experience with religion to burlesque shows. Others include Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School drawing sessions; musical theater; political dramas; costume parties; crowd-participation comedies; abstract, experimental performance art; underground musical performances; and not to mention they throw an annual Baconfest fundraiser to support their independent local arts AND a Ms. Center of the Universe Pageant that is an in-your-face, snarky, flip of the finger to patriarchal dictation of womanhood.

The children's theater has five productions each season with local talent of all ages. Their Christmas play is coming up next weekend and they're doing the Velveteen Rabbit and Pollyanna next year!

It's an interactive play with lots of audience engagement. The building itself is and feels historic. It's easy to notice on riverside due to its white and tall facade. I reached out to them about doing a private event and Lauren, their operations manager was extremely helpful. She graciously scheduled a time to give me a tour of the space and shared all sorts of great history facts about the space. I believe they'll be launching an campaign to raise funds for renovations, which is exciting! A group of very dedicated volunteers makes all the magic happen.

When we learned they have the same play all the time, we didn't think we'd go back after seeing it once. We plan to go back many times. It's not a play in which the plot is important.

You laugh, you sing, cheer, you boo, and you throw tomatoes at the villain. We loved it and will return.
