Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center at College of the Canyons

This was my first visit to the theatre, and it was great!  It's so easy to park, and such a short walk to the building.  Although it was over 100 degrees outside, the theatre was a cool 68 at least!  It doesn't matter what the show is, all of the seats have a great view.  The restrooms are a decent size, and very clean, although you can expect to wait in line during intermission.  I guess that's the same in any theatre.  Ticket prices are much less than most theatres, so it is a cheaper alternative than going into Hollywood.  Albeit, the production may not be of the same quality, but well worth the conveniance.

I'm glad COC has this Performing Arts Center (PAC). Its not the biggest place in the world, but it does give Santa Clarita another place to see plays other than the Canyon Theater Guild. They also have great student performances that only cost you about 5 bucks.

My favorite things to go to are COC's Jazz Concerts. I just love how the music sounds in the PAC and all the performers look like they're having a good time, and that's always a plus. I used to play in this place for the COC Youth Orchestra and it reminds me that you don't necessarily have to drive down to the Disney Concert Hall to find some great performances. My favorite performance here was when our orchestra played live music for The Nutcracker.

Its not just music though, they offer some cool guest speakers as well! I've only been to one but that was enough impression on me as it was one of the last living survivors of the Holocaust. Great lady, great speaker. The PAC also, occasionally has some well-known bands perform from the likes of Blake Shelton to Kool and the Gang.

Come on out and support your local arts!

Love this place.  It's always a great time and good quality shows.  And it's a nice break from the SCV suburbia.
