Christopher Cohan Performing Arts Center Reviews

Great venue at cal poly san Luis Obispo. Parking is very difficult. Get the really early to make sure you can park and drive on time. Sometimes shuttles are available. If so, take advantage of them. Great acoustics and good seating is available. Be sure to get early because it's usually open seating. Lots of good restaurants in town.

Stunning setting for a musical or drama performance of any kind!

Saw Spamalot and dinner before. All was very good.

It was Fantastic, My Granddaughter performed there today

Great interior, great arcitecture, amazing ceremony

This place is beautiful and is the perfect place for a huge choir concert. It's near the beach and we went today (3-22-19) and it was amazing. We went to Pismo Beach and hung at the pier then went into the ocean. After that we went here to the Performing Arts Center and had a blast admiring the design and architecture. Has a LOT of stairs.

Amazing place. I don't think there is a bad seat here. The sound is amazing

It is a very modern, comfortable and spacious theater.

Beautiful theatre. I perform here often and it's such a privilege and honor to perform here. Come see Cal poly choirs!

Magic Flute: Great show, great venue. The soloists, cast, orchestra and acoustics were all superb. Congrats OperaSLO.

The venue was very pretty. I had a cool time and lots of popcorn. I was happy. yay!

First time and was impressed. Beautiful and great sound.

Great place for an event like a concert of some good rock music

It's a nice venue. Acoustics seem to be good throughout. The orchestra floor seating isn't slanted as much as some, so it can be a little hard to see the performance, but it's still pretty good. We've seen a variety of shows here, and enjoyed them all.

Not a bad seat in the house. Friendly staff and a lovely venue.

Barry Zitto and LeAnn Rimes were very good. Drummer for LeAnn was too loud

Excellent organization and the building is beautiful

One of the counties premier venues for art, performances and a classy night out to the refined arts and performances. The Organ is one to hear and see being played. Beyond amazing, a experience for the ears to have once in a lifetime.

If you want to listen to music the acoustic at the PAC is absolutely wonderful.

Great theater. Presenting Celtic Nights.
This is a beautiful and special concert from Ireland . . . . . Memories about " Braveheart "

We saw the Arabic music ensemble will not miss it in the future it seems to be kept secret.

Beautiful Auditorium. Great Sound. Easy parking lot.

It's all state of the art, clean, good sound and a nice facility. It's a little stiff for my taste and the architecture is not up my alley but that's just me.

This place is beautiful. I can't believe it's at Cal Poly. Possibly the most gorgeous, modern, and good-sounding concert halls within two counties. It's always nice to support a public school when I go to events, and this place is certainly a favorite. It's rarely crowded like places in L.A. can get, and you never have to worry about parking. I'd much rather go to shows here than down south.

Beautiful venue for performers.
The prelude dinner was outstanding!

Beautiful place with ample parking. Very clean, well maintained, spacious and well lit. I enjoyed the choir performances and the pipe organ is beautiful.

I go true all of the operas. I love them. They are great.

Beautiful performing arts space, not a bad view from anywhere in the house and fine acoustics.

Visited an event at the old theatre, it was fun and the place is well kept with a great staff.

Wonderful architecture and very professional staff at work during events. There's tiered seating so there is really a bad seat in the house; also great acoustics with the high ceilings.

Always convenient area for tour bus to drop us off to visit the campus.

We really love going to events here. The only issue I have is the upper balcony against the rail doesn t seem safe. If you are tall the railing comes to your knees. If you have an inside (middle) and have to squeeze by people to get to your seat and/or lose your balance it feels like you could topple over and fall.

go to. you have a chance to see a show there take it. There is not a bad seat in the house.

Beautiful venue. Hip hop nutcracker was a fun show too.

Had fantastic seats for the Leean Rimes concert - special thanks to Digital West and The San Luis Obispo Rotary de Tolosa!

Always a great venue; however, we were there for a children's matinee of "Prehistoric Aquarium Adventure". My granddaughter liked it; I would have liked fewer screaming children.

This entity is the best addition to our community in the last 50 years affecting more individuals, especially children.
Facility and Foundation management is outstanding.

There s a waiting list to volunteer there! That says a lot!!

I always love coming here!! My kid's love every show!! Thank you!!

Love every time I come here, plenty of seating Fantastic acoustics

This place is just gorgeous. The seating is good but not great. The seats are not very comfortable and the higher levels are really hard to see from. Otherwise it is an excellent venue.

Always wonderful shows went with family had nice evening

The Cal Poly PAC is a fabulous place for performances! Beautiful space with exceptional acoustics! I have been there probably a dozen times and have always enjoyed the atmosphere. Parking is usually fairly easy, especially if you show up a little early. Often there is minimal food options that are only available before the performance or during intermission. Sometimes beverages are available and other times they aren't. Make sure you don't show up hungry, though!

This is a fabulous place to hear a concert or any of the performance arts. The accoustics are excellent and seating is roomy and comfortable.

So beautiful, great harmonics, wonderful staff, beautiful atmospherics!

Iv seen several lectures here at the cal poly performing arts center and always enjoyed it. good acoustics and comfortable seats. i was always very impressed with the speakers and performances they were able to bring to the venue.

Great performances, great seating, beautiful venue. I always feel special attending the performances.

The Prelude dinner before Lily Tomlin was excellent! Unfortunately, though not unexpectedly, it was the best part of the evening. This Lily has faded...

Impressive auditorium where the California International Choral Festival and Competition is held

A great venue, I was here for the TEDx talks this past weekend and all the facilities were excellent

Gorgeous modern venue in classic opera house style on the edge of Cal Poly State University campus. Serves as performing arts center for both the campus and the city. Parking in associated garage is free with event tickets. Only 5 minutes off Highway 101. Hosts a variety of arts and entertainment events. Season ticket packages available. Reasonable ticket prices.

A mix of old and new, of rythmic and and dreams, of time-honored and contemporary, Performing Arts Center included the Call Poly Theater, now the Spanos Theatre, which is the oldest theater in the large Call Poly Performing Arts Center. Seating about 850, the Soanos Theatre is a well maintained, medium size theater. For 50 years, it has hosted a number of University and visiting performances including the well known and loved Orchesis Dance Company, which calls Call Poly its home.

Absolutely amazing building. This is building was a perfect concert area for tickets during quarantine. Wow this concert hall was not the most perfect place for the test, however; it was a great place for theater kids to be Theatre kids and after all this is a great place. Well some people might say this place is overrated I do not agree
