The Peace Center for the Performing Arts Review

Beautiful facility and great views all of the way to the cheap seats.

Good seats, nice crowd. too many stairs not enough elevators. must walk long distance from box office to seating.

Great customer service and lovely Center ... Even saw a cast member after play crossing the street

Not a bad seat in the house! Warm and friendly. Great sound!

I've been here numerous times and have never had a bad experience. The staff does a great job of "crowd control" keeping annoying people who love to see the world through their phones out of the way. The seating is comfortable and I've never had a bad time finding parking. Someone not used to dealing with Greenville traffic or the parking situation could have some difficulties however. Ticket prices can be monstrously high but that is often due to the artist or the performance going on.

An excellent venue to enjoy a show and is convenient to the rest of downtown Greenville. A huge upgrade renovation has just been completed for the new season including new theater seating. In all ways one of the must see places if you visit

Another great night at The Peace Center! Conveniently located downtown Greenville, near all "the happenins'!!!

Looking forward to the return of phantom of the opera "Love never dies"

Good seats, full house, great show. Even with a virtually full house, access into the facility before the show was good. Plenty of ramps and good handicap access to most areas in the building, plus elevators, rails, and other helpful assistive technologies. Some areas of the center could improve handicap access, but for the most part, a person with mobility issues should be able to attend shows here. Moreover, staff is helpful; those needing wheelchair assistance can notify staff and get help from the entrance to their seats. After the show, people with mobility issues will definitely want help; at a busy venue, there are a lot of people that can impede movement, so plan ahead and you can be accommodated even if you are unable to walk without assistance or a mobility device. People without mobility experience will have an even better, highly enjoyable experience and I recommend the center to anyone seeking excellent entertainment experience.

Excellent venue. Straight No Chaser is loaded with talent. Looking forward to seeing Chris Bottom later this summer.

Excellent venue. High quality production values. First rate shows without traveling to a major city.

Excellent .. evening seeing Chris Botti and friends!

Fantastic venue, most seats offer a good view of the stage, the production was great, and the total experience is one we'd certainly repeat

Awesome Greenville Symphony Orchestra performance including Williams Tuba Concerto with Velvet Brown, Tuba.

I love going .that it always a wonderful experience and it is convenient parking and restaurant that's open afterwards and in walking distance

I went to see Home Free with a great friend of mine. So glad I went with her! The Peace Center was clean and staff pointed us to our seats. We had no complaints.

We've been to several shows at the Peace Center. It's a beautiful venue, especially after the atrium addition and recent renovations. Sound quality has much improved.

My sister in law's family lives in Greenville and they love it. When I visited for the first I discovered what a gem this place is. Set in the foothills of Appalachia in South Carolina, the performing Arts Center is positioned along a riverwalk with the famous Greenville waterfall nearby. Excellent curated artistic season. Good restaurants. I was surprised how much I liked it here.

The staff was so sweet. I loved the theater layout and definitely enjoyed the show

Always a pleasure visiting this place. Miss Siagon was extremely entertaining and immensely enjoyed.

Awesome location. If you have the opportunity to see a concert there, go!

Wonderful genre with seating that makes the performance viewable at any vantage point! Enjoyed the artist Keb Mo very much!

We just saw Miss Saigon here and I'm wondering if the folks with the positive reviews saw the same show my wife and I did. We both thought the show so bad that we left at intermission.

1) The sound was muddy. We sat in the back (row W) and with the exception of the leading lady, it just sounded like people shouting at each other.

2) The music was poor. I've been to a lot of really great shows and some of them were at the Peace Center. This one sucked. The lyrics and composition were amateurish, banal and at times discordant.

3) The story line and acting were sub par. The good news was that it matched #2 above.

This was an utter waste of money and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Enjoyed the lion king. Wish they had a center aisle and more restrooms for women.

It was our first time and we really enjoyed the play,the only issue was a woman standing with her behind in my husband's face which was very uncomfortable for him. I think people should have a little more respect for other people, otherwise the show was great.

I am a student at Furman University, studying for Music Preformance. I come here and listen to GSO all the time--the experience and music are amazing

This place is such a local treasure for people wanting to see great theatre and beautiful performances!

Beautiful theater in a beautiful downtown. We came in from out of town to see Hamilton and ate at Genevieve s before. The food was good, but not exceptional and service left something to be desired, but the convenience made it all worth it. I also liked the option of ordering for intermission and having it ready at the table. Theater seats are all in continuous rows, which makes it obnoxious for anyone entering or leaving.

Outstanding venue. Comfortable seats and good acoustics. The staff is very friendly and polite.

Nice place to take in a how in Greenville. I don t understand the not taking a beverage into the hall rule. It makes for a strange scene: lots and lots of people standing outside the hall chugging beer and wine before they have to run in to get to their seats. Seems to be a holdover rule of the old south or something. Need to update that people.

Wonderful performances everytime we have been there,.Geenville is fortunate to have it.

The Peace Center is smaller, but no less impressive, venue where you can see several bigger shows like the Book of Mormon and Hamilton. The drinks are moderately priced for a venue of it's size but they only allow bottled water inside the auditorium so plan to finish your wine/cocktail/soda in the lobby. It's a convenient drive from Asheville.

Publicly minded and terrific shows. Always great seats whether up front or in the nosebleed section.

Chris Botti was fabulous with his violinist Caroline Campbell, singer Sy, and opera singer Rafael!

Great venue, seats had plenty of room unlike many other theatres. While I am from North Carolina, would be happy to return for a show one day.

Beautiful design and amazing acoustics. Carnegie Hall, eat your heart out.

Really nice theater its just too bad when they get a good broadway show all their tickets sell out to 3rd party sites that mark them up 3-400%

Beautiful venue! And the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Our first show at the Peace Center and it will not be our last.The wife wanted to see "Riverdance" so like a good hubby I surprised her with a mid week getaway to Greenville and show tickets.
Seating was comfortable with more than adequate legroom.We had a great sight and sound experience from our seats in the pit,row cc seats 1&2.The staff are helpful,friendly and efficient.

Perfect place to go to the theater. Always wonderful, right downtown, tons of food options before and after. I have never been disappointed.

They had a wonderful performance and truly showed all aspects of their characters.

This is our third play with the children's theater and it did not disappoint. We like this one the best because it offered audience participation. We appreciate the hard work and dedication of each of the actors and will plan to come back next season.

The facility is beautiful and the staff and volunteers are always very helpful. I love having professional theatre available in the Upstate!

Phantom of the Opera was absolutely the greatest Opera so far...in my opinion...as always, The Peace Center catered to each and every guest as royalty!

The facility is clean, has great shows, and the staff is wonderful. Lucky to have this in Greenville.

Beautiful venue and incredibly friendly and helpful staff!

Always a pleasure to go to the Peace Center for any performance. We saw Celtic Woman this time but have been for several other groups.

The venue itself was nice. Got really thirsty during the show and wanted water but the only thing available was the water fountains, because the bar had closed. Then tried to step outside for a breath of air and was told I coukdnt leave or wouldn't be allowed back in.

And while some of the staff were nice and helpful, I was approached 3 times by a particular staff member because she thought I was recording the show, eventhough I wasn't .... It was very interrupting and annoying. There should be a better system in place for monitoring that kind of stuff.

CS Lewis - Lion, Witch and Waredrobe - great time with the kids

Brought my mom and sister here for an evening of Mexican Folklore Ballet. Beautiful show! Giving for the wonderful staff who helped my mom to her seat and assisted her back to the car! The Peace Center is beautiful and looking forward to returning for future events!

WHAT AN AMAZING VENUE FOR SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SHOW!!! LOVED IT!!!! 5 STARS FOR SURE!!!!!

Always a great time, wonderful venue for Concerts, plays, comedy, Big city feel in Greenville... Dinner at Genevieve's before the show is always a great idea as well
