FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre Concerts 2024

Have been to this theatre twice in the heart of downtown St. Catharine’s. Located in area with a variety of restaurants making it walkable to the theatre. First time was in the smaller lower theatre to hear a concert pianist. Acoustics were wonderful. Second time most recently to hear a comedy couple Darcy & Jer. They performed in the main theatre. Both were hilarious with nonstop laughter for 90 minutes. Our seats were in the balcony section and easy to get too. It was nice to see there were railings in the upper aisle making climbing the stairs manageable and safe.

This venue is so intimate there's not a bad seat in the theatre, the staff were super friendly. I forgot my phone in the bathroom, I really thought it was gone, but someone turned it in. Super nice.. The Beatles Tribute Band was amazing , overall a great venue.

Modern performing arts facility in downtown St.Catharines, great acoustics, bar.and layout. Easily accessible to parking and restaurants. Lighting and seating were excellent. We came to watch Pink Floyd Niagara, it was a grand sophisticated performance, with a large, talented group and excellent back up singers. It's definitely worth watching.

Halls have very good natural light. Staff are very friendly and informative. Clean washrooms and facilities. Accessibility throughout the building is great. The temperature throughout the building is also good. There's always something happening here. Check out their website for free events. That's the best way to get a good look at the place.

I went to see a midday performance with my kids who are 5 and 1 and was delighted to find the venue very easy to navigate with little ones in tow. The aisles were spacious which made things more pleasant too. The staff were very friendly and quick to assist. Parking on the street and in nearby lots was also much more plentiful than I'd planned for. All in all, a wonderful option for families with kids.
