A very unique building with plenty of history to go with it. There was a farmers market inside in the auditorium with wonderful vendors from the surrounding area. I will be back for the next event.

Fun venue for a great Tom Petty tribute fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity tonight. Fred the Bear and friends played 22 awesome Tom Petty songs. Beverages available for purchase. Old time theater with a castle theme. Older type seats, but plenty comfortable. Great place, wonderful time!

Very clean, very well maintained. Cute little shop and art gallery attached to the lobby. Went to see Last Train to Nibroc. It has a nice big proscenium stage; the medieval castle theme of the house was very, very odd. It didnt detract from the performance once the show started though.

I am a professional musician been entertaining for over 50 years, I traveled all over including Amsterdam and never relied on BLUE MATERIAL. On July 20th, I saw comedy acts at the Paradise Center that discussed me with foul language and subject matter that doesn’t deserve to be called comedy. As they say in show biz, “CLEAN UP YOUR ACT “!

Very welcoming place for artists and art enthusiasts alike! A variety of events, shows, and classes offered throughout the year. Membership is very affordable which can get you discounts on classes and shows.

Beautiful building. The lady at the front desk was helpful. I took a class here that was more telling than teaching. So thats pretty much the only reason my review isnt better. They do have plenty of activies going on all the time so maybe Ill try something else in the future

We just saw Disney Newsies and the talent was awesome, the actor Jacks voice was awesome too although the acoustics and/or microphones were terrible! We sat in 2nd row and could only hear every other word, the orchestra was off and choreography was jerky and too strobe like. I expected more at the professional price of $17/ticket on a Thursday night.The talent was there it was just too much work to hear them.

Beautiful historic theatre. Even if youre not going to a show, Id encourage you to walk in and take a look around. The lobby area boasts a working art gallery (visitors can see works in progress as well as finished works), photography in the open meeting room, a nice little gift shop, more paintings on the memorial wall, and a little bar to satisfy your thirst. Staff members are friendly and they have a surprisingly exiting lineup for a smaller town.

We attended the first comedian night and it was fantastic! It sold out and was worth the 2 1/2 hour drive to see it. Wish we lived closer to attend all of the events held there.
