Ferguson Center for the Arts

First, I am handicapped and that makes getting into a lot of concerts almost impossible. But not here. The sound system is fantastic. Have seen about 6 or 7 concerts here and all have been wonderful. This month I have seen Smokey Robinson and Boz Scaggs and had a great time. Have a wide range of shows from ballet, Broadway shows such as Dream Girls and The Chorus Line to popular artists such as Smokey Robinson, Sinbad and Boz Scaggs. Have also had The Price is Right which was a blast. One of my favorites was ELVIS LIVES which is touring the country. All the employees are so nice and just want to make your visit wonderful.
If you sign up for the e-club you can get emails regarding discount tickets. Have gotten many at buy one get one and others at 20 to 30% off. My favorite place to go to have a good time.

I can't recall how many times I have been here, but I can tell you one thing, IT IS AMAZING!

In my younger days, I played music in a number of venues and came to know what good and bad acoustics are. Additionally, I have heard the same professional artists play in multiple venues, and nothing seems to come even close to the quality or convenience of the Ferguson Center for the Arts. The sound quality makes you feel like you are hearing the artist perform in an intimate setting, but it offers seating for around 1,750 folks.

There is an elegant glass motif to the foyer and staircase that leads you to the upper level that make you feel a little regal when exploring. The box office is located inside, which is a welcome change since no one wants to wait in the cold when buying tickets. Additionally, all of the ushers and staff are friendly and helpful.

The adjacent parking garage is only a stone's throw away, and usually has enough spaces for everyone inside. There is usually an array of police when exiting to help you leave without getting tied up too long.

I have seen small jazz ensembles, plays, operas, one man shows, and orchestras play here and I was thrilled every time to have experienced them at this location. I highly recommend an opportunity to visit.

Here tonight to listen to the TRADOC Army Band perform their Holiday Concert. Aside from a few of the box seats (there was some confusion about seating people there. At first the ushers were told they were reserved, and therefore did not send people to them. Late in the process they decided that these seats were, in fact, open to everyone). The center was packed tonight for this performance.

The TRADOC Band is a well oiled music machine, Very tight, well playing unit, with seamless changes into and out of pieces. A real delight to both hear, and watch perform.

The acoustics at the Ferguson are excellent. We sat in the back of the theater and there was little or no echo or distortion.

The staff is helpful and accommodating. Parking is about the only issue that one could point out here. With the Center being on a school campus, parking is, most times, at a premium. But, if you time your arrival (that's come early so you can find a spot to park for you city slickers) you will not have any problems.

Well worth the effort to watch a performance here.

Highly recommended.
