Philip Sherlock Centre for the Creative Arts Reviews

Home of theatre at the University of the West Indies. Small but many great shows are performed here annually

When you tell someone you have a ticket, or you are on your way to the Philip Sherlock Center their eyes will open wide and the facial expression will glee. Why do I say that? This Center over the years provides enviable training that produces stop class students that you can guarantee becomes internationally famous. Some of the best production - dance, songs, acting, lighting arrangements, sounds have been displayed at this so special, cosy, romantic, always loved theatre where only the best is good enough. Ahaaa.

Been here a few times for live entertainment and it was always very good. It's not a large theater but the sound and lighting is very good. Ample parking is available especially as classes are more than likely not in session when a play or other activity is showing. If classes are in session then parking could be a challenge.

A great place for developing young talent in the performing arts

Nice place, get to see up and coming performances artists

Philip Sherlock Centre For The Creative Arts, is a little big theater on the University of the West Indies Campus. As the name implies, it is a theater which trains mostly to the students of the performing arts. A great place to go and watch folk dances and music. It could also be rented by institutions outside of the campus for shows and matinee. It's location makes it a great place to visit and to take after shows stroll through the gardens.

This is a lovely small theater but can be a little cold.... Ensure to carry a scarf or wear long sleeves.

You hardly have time to examine the place itself when you're busy watching or acting in the production.

The venue is well suited for the purpose for which it was built. Four stars because the lock on the restroom door didn't work when I was last there.

Could do with a bit of development but still the heart of entertainment on campus

Very nice theater. Really good lighting, comfortable seating . Warm environment. Everything nice and right!

Its a place where people from all walks of life come together to share and growth their talents.

A bit on the small side, temperature was lovely .
Unsanitary restrooms

Most recent event I attended there was a performance by The University Singers...they didn't disappoint.

Nice little place. I went to see "the quilt". It was a beautiful art displaying African centered history and slavery. The actors, the voices, the stiryline... Beautiful!!! It's my second or third time visiting and the art pieces before were also beautiful. Nice place to go to your burst of our cultural diversity.

Great space for theatrical performances with good audio acoustics.

There was very good production and fluent work. Had a session on what was learnt throughout the play

Good u.w.I. play house,good plays are performed, here

The venue was suitable for the event I attended. It's cozy and intimate setting contributed to an enjoyable evening and continued appreciation for the performing arts.

Everything was great except for the lack of water in the restroom.

Great place for local high quality theater production.

Small space but well organized. Went there to see a production. I was so comfortable being there and extremely satisfied.

A creative space that hosts great theatrical events year round...

State of the Art performing arts theatre equipped with great lighting and sound. Building also furnished with classrooms , administrative office and 'in-the-round' open theatre space. The joining building houses the dance studio. Has been the home of some of Jamaica's greatest talents, creativity and festivals. Events such as Tallawah, Dance Umbrella and award winning comedic play, Heist. Conveniently located on the UWI Mona, campus.

Lovely be there for Smoker 2019 September 10-15 Charity event

We went to watch Annie, it was an awesome production.

The centre should be retrofitted to have handrails, ramps and effective lighting for the senior citizens.

They offer numerous personal development classes, such as voice and floral arrangement.

It's a theater on campus, where most of the live plays are done. Very lovely venue for events

A small theatre on UWI campus that many clubs and classes use to display their creativity in the arts. As a theatre it isn't close to the best, but that doesn't matter cause the talents of the UWI students shine through it all

I liked it because every year they host a dance show called One body one God (obog) and it was amazing

One of my favourite performing arts spaces in Jamaica. I would however rec a change in the windows as light from outside peaks through during day time performances.

Nice location with theater seating for optimal viewing. They however need to turn on the lights before and after shows, lots of steps in the dark could lead to a disaster.

Lovely space. The theater is great for small productions.

Be respectful to everyone regardless of race, class or gender. No one came to this planet with anything and none of us will leave with anything. Please staff at Phillip Sherlock learn to be gentle with people when enforcing your rules. You never know the predisposition of a person. Your harsh words or tone could lead to someone hurting themself or hurting you. I am surprised that people complain about the violence in the world when they are so combative.
I came to university to build strong relationships and to improve my life and the lives of others. People should be taught to question and the failure to question authority is the reason behind this broken society. There is no need for hostility.

There's just something about the vibe in this place, even a show that's not the greatest just "feels right" in here LOL

Annie production was phenomenal the cast is so talented and delivered an engaging, entertaining and excellent performance

Watched the play "Marcus Garvey". Fabulous production.

A center for the creative arts. Home to various performing arts groups and produces great productions year round.

This is a very good and artistic environment. People are always busy promoting the Arts, plus the theater is world class.

Wonderful, cozy theatre which offers a variety of shows throughout the year.

The tech team here is super and always ready and willing to help.
