FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre

Nice. Affordable. Comfortable. Professional. Words are all you need

Amazing place to see new and and classic shows in both music and comedy as well as for those who like TIFF, Sundance, and retro movies. Great for those who want to get out and have a date night and not have to pay Toronto or movie theatre prices. And those who want to get out and volunteer, we welcome you!!

First time visiting here and is a great venue . We sat in row H and will definitely keep this in mind as it’s at the right height compared to the stage level and basically we were at eye level with the musicians.

First time visiting to watch Howie Mandel who, a long with his opening act, were hilarious. Facility was clean and spacious, seating comfortable and washrooms were clean and modern. All staff were also welcoming and friendly.

I’m very impressed with the PAC, a high quality venue for a city the size of St Catharine’s. The lobby and entry areas are big and bright. The seating is VERY comfortable, and the smaller size of the venue means you’re always close to the stage. We were Row N, middle of the way, but it still felt like we were right close up! Acoustics are good, would’ve preferred slightly less decay time, but that’s just my preference really. That it’s downtown means there are a number of restaurants and bars to hang out at before and/or after the show.
