Reviews
Great place to see the performing arts. Everyone put on a great performance tonight.
On a side note:
Please remember this is not a "Movie" theater. Please bring age appropriate children because they will be scared of the loud special effects. Lastly please just follow the rules and put your phones away. It ruins the experience when the staff has to shoosh your kids. Limited wheelchair seating if you can not transfer, the accessible seats are only if you can transfer out of your wheelchair.
Excellent performance by the California Symphony at this wonderful venue. Would like to return to see other events.
Saw The Nutcracker by Contra Costa Ballet. They did a lovely job. They kept it just a bit simpler than some productions, with fewer adult dancers. But, there were a whole lot of wonderful child dancers in the program who all did excellent performances. They included many of the dream lands with terrific costumes. There were bunches of kids in the audience, many under 5, and the program kept the attention of the kids people had brought.
As always, Lesher Center provided a clean, well appointed venue.
This is a great venue, fairly easy parking and eats nearby. I've only been to the Hoffman Theater portion, but it's a great alternative to going to SF for a show. Not a bad seat in the house!
My friends & family just enjoyed a wonderful evening at this beautiful theatre, seeing A Christmas Carol.
When it turned out that we needed one more ticket for an additional person in our group, their Ticket Office team (I didn't catch her name!) was very patient and kind, quickly helping us find tickets for our added guest.
Outstanding performance, immaculate theatre, wonderful, helpful staff! What a memorable evening we will all have to cherish!
Just saw Motown Mania. It was extremely entertaining. The band, singing and dancing were incredible. There isn't a bad seat in the house. The one downside was parking in the complex can be soldout. Arrive early to get parking.
Prior to the show a male staff with dark long hair rudely spoke to my son, who was walking alongside a red rope, telling him to leave the area. Other attendees noticed his sharp and raised tone and I was speechless thinking something important was going to happen so we moved from that area. No, he was just redirecting his own emotions to a child, remarkedly immature for an adult. During the show a group appeared drunk and talked loudly. The environment became tense as several people reputedly shushed and told them to be quiet. Hope they do a better job at screening staff, Lescher Center has lost its luster.
The price of $10 per person was well worth the price of admission. Parking in the garage attached to Lesher Center of the Arts was free the first hour. Went specially to see the collection of art made to commemorate the 350 year old oak tree that came down during the 2019 storm. Absolutely beautiful, creative and one of a kind creations. Many were for sale.
