From a performer's point of view: I have played both on the stage and in the orchestra pit here. It has the largest pit I have ever seen. They have a concert grand piano down there, ample room for percussion, and a lift to get down. The stage sounds nice as well. The seats in Merchant Hall are comfy and spacious, and the sound for the audience is well balanced wherever you sit. They have a very large back stage area for performers as well, with plenty of dressing and rest rooms. Parking is free for events and during rehearsals. Two complaints: 1, this centre is out in the middle of nowhere. GPS will take you the wrong way if you enter the address as it's written on Google. Instead of turning right once you have entered the campus, turn left. Follow the road til the end and HPAC will be on your right. Second complaint: the exterior looks like the sarcophagus at Chernobyl. Great interior, but who would have guessed based on what you see from the outside?

This is a nice venue for a medium sized performance. The stage is a decent size. The seating area begins to go vertical with balcony box seats relatively quickly. This creates a somewhat unique feel to the venue. The usher staff is friendly and effective.

Wonderful venue for a variety of performances. The seats are very small, but that is not uncommon these days. Acoustics are great. Parking is plentiful. Snacks and drinks for sale.

Great place clean views are descent. Have taken the family to a number of shows. Our daughters are also in dance and acting classes which they end up performing here as well. Seats could be a little wider but with most places like this it's typical. Definitely not stuffy and is where chair accessible. In addition there are few food establishments within walking distance. Tickets can be physical and electronic. They use scanners to scan tickets regardless on paper or digital.

The Hylton Performing Arts Center is a beautiful building. Parking is a close walk and there is a drop off point in front of the facility. The seating is comfortable and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Light snacks and drinks are usually served during intermission. Everyone should catch a play, musical, or symphony here; It makes for a wonderful family or date night. Young or old the performing arts are good for you!
