Opened on time, with quick security screening. There was a merch section and restrooms (spotless) located in the lobby. We had general seating tickets, so we had the freedom to choose where we sat. And what choices there were! The seating is varied and allows for comfortable seating for everyone. Whether you're in a large group, want a cozy high top for two, a counter seat to chat bar style with others, or want up close and personal floor access, there's a spot for you. There's even balcony seating! The sound system was clear and well balanced. My friend mentioned he would've liked it a little louder. Indeed, it was a "comfortable" volume. Our waitress was quick and friendly. She was fair, in that she told us up front they charge for water (I think it was 6 bucks). She said sometimes customers get upset about that. Our drinks were good and the price was about what we'd expect at a venue. We didn't order food, but the plates traveling by us had appealing presentation and smelled delicious! My first time here, but I'll certainly jump at the chance to come back!

And with my last visit to the 2023 Nutcracker show, it was nothing but splendid! The performance center itself is part of the Riverside Community College, so depending where you will park, you might get to walk around the campus. There also could be a flight of long stairs or just a flat walk towards the main entrance. Staff here are also really helpful and nice, and I'm sure they are the same for all the different shows they have here. Inside the auditorium, it reminds me of a large lecture hall: with those wooden, collapsable chairs...just felt like being in college again! Which was cool. The stage and its lighting system is amazing and the stage will be lit up just perfectly for any show. I really enjoy coming here and who knows, maybe I'll come back for another show!

Now known as Landis Performing Arts Center…read more I was impressed by the campus at RCC and enjoyed the complementary shuttle from the parking lot to the theater in an open-air cart. The Theater is large with 1500 seats and a professional stage that I hear is about to get some major upgrades. It's obvious that a lot of effort has gone into making this storied stage something special. Simple concessions from a local club from campus were nice and just the right price. Tickets for into the woods was just $16.00 with a $5 discount for advanced purchase, an amazing bargain! Into The woods was fantastic, clever, and massively entertaining with a superb cast. The Sets and lighting crossed between professional and campy, just perfect for such a fun show.

The restrooms were clean; they also offered refreshments and beverages for purchase during intermission. I purchased my ticket at the box office before the show. There was not a bad seat in the house as all the seats were circled around the intimate stage. It was also immersive as the cast ran throughout the cleared aisles. Overall the play was very well put together and I enjoyed it. Tips: Remaining showings from the 13th-15th of 2024 Tickets purchased online or at the box office Plenty of parking

COZY COMMUNITY THEATRE! My Mom introduced me to this theatre-in-the-round a couple years ago and…read morewe've been coming ever since! The seats are comfortable, the views are solid, and the intimate setup of the venue makes this place quite immersive. Some of the productions are a bit hit-or-miss for me, but I really enjoy coming as the environment is pretty welcoming and they try to change up the schedule each year to accommodate to different age groups. RCP has snacks outside for sale and free coffee w/ a personal donation to the theatre group. I admire the resilience of this theatre and its staff as the Riverside Community Players have survived the COVID-19 pandemic, arson, and other challenges. Bravo!

They were tasty, juicy and a little bit overpriced. Overall worth it. The cocktails were very good as well. On this particular night, we were there to see a David Bowie tribute show and the cocktails were themed after Bowie songs which was a really cute touch. Parking in the area was easy and I luckily found an inexpensive spot to park. The sound quality in the venue was great and I don't think there was a bad seat in the house. I look forward to coming here again someday. The service at the venue was excellent! I had an issue where I lost something and security was so helpful. The ushers were fantastic, friendly, and caring. I could not have asked for a better experience.

Walking in is a step back in time to when the golden age of the silver screen brought people en masse to classy, red carpeted movie houses. That vibe lingers as one enters the softly lit warm glow of the lobby with its period chandeliers, dark wood painted beams, and carpeted floors. Proper old school escorts take you to your seats. Inside the theater, the stage is flanked by drapes, and aesthetically pleasing lighting sets the mood. The seats are a rare find - wooden with lush velvety fabric. Surprisingly, they were more spacious than expected. Also surprisingly, our seats weren't attached to the floor! If we leaned forward, our two seats both moved. It wasn't a problem, just surprising. We also had one cup holder. It seemed they were randomly placed with several seats lacking them. Since we were here for a concert, let's talk about sound quality, which was spot on! The speaker system provided multidirectional sound that was clear and clean. No pops, distortion, or drops here. The bass gave that satisfying through the feet vibration without rattling our teeth. The temperature was comfortably cool and never stuffy. So, why a 4 instead of a 5? While seat/cupholder were kinda just quirky, it's a matter of layout and patience. As you pass through to the interior, there's a confluence of lines that, even though people queued up as best they could, merged with those trying to find a way through. The women's restroom line - which was clean with good sized stalls - comes first, with the bar just a few yards away, followed by merch table. The bar line ended up descending down the stairs on one side while the merch table went down the other. I honestly don't know how they could manage it differently given the space. Bar and merch lines moved slowly, and I was appreciative when another joined the single bartender to help customers. Someone said there was another bar, but I was too time invested to inquire. My friend eventually left the merch table after making no significant headway after 20 minutes. After the concert, the line was back down the stairs. Patience, politeness, and flexibility win the day here. Did this take away from our experience? No, not really. We were lined up outside and entered shortly after doors opened, an hour before showtime. These logistics would not keep me from returning.

What a lovely theatre. We love classic movie palaces and drove about 90 minutes to see a show here…read more The size is just right... not too big, not too small. The bathrooms were nicer than I expected. I heard they recently did a renovation and I thought expanding the lobby was a great idea. We saw the ballroom area on the second floor and wow, what a cool space that is. I had a few concerns though which I thought negatively affected my experience. During intermission I couldn't figure out why there was such a hold up exiting the theatre. Yes there were a number of older patrons who walked slow or with walkers, but that is totally fine. When I exited the auditorium I saw this HUGE bottle neck of the men's bathroom line, elevator line, people exiting the theatre and people entering the theatre... and to top it all off... they put the refreshment bar right there. OMG... it was so frustrating and such a bottleneck. I'd consider moving the refreshment bar to the main lobby area which seem to be much more spacious and give more room for the auditorium doors. While I thought the bathrooms were unexpectly large and spacious but there were some concerns I had. The line to the men's bathroom went well into the lobby, but the door needed to be handled by every person in line. I think a door stop might help to prop the door open and so not everyone had to touch the door. Every single person (hopefully) is washing their hands - but with a manual on/off lever, it just stalled the sink line. And, it made a mess with everyone's wet hands handling the faucet lever and walking to the paper towel dispenser. I think they could speed up the line and make less congeston by using automatic on/off faucets. This is what the Pantages recently did and it was a game changer. Same goes with the paper towel dispenser. Everyone had to wave their hand to get the towels to dispense. Ugg, it was sooooo slow. I'd much prefer the towel dispensers which would automatically dispense a towel immediately when one is ripped off. And, worst part, with just 2 dispensers in the men's bathroom, there was one that was not working with dead batteries. OMG... that should be a priority to check before opening the house. In many ways this is just inexcusable.

The inland Conservatory of the performing arts school was the best decision me and my husband ever…read moremade when it came to a private school. This is a school for performing arts not academics. Yes academics are provided but don't get mad if you want your baby to be a Dr or a scientist. Go somewhere else. It really is very unprofessional and inhumane for other parents or visitors to leave a one star review with rude and untrue reviews. That's actually pretty ghetto. Any child that graduates from the school has a very bright future ahead not only are they taught college knowledge they are taught hard work and perseverance. If you are a parent that does not discipline your kid this school is not for you if you are a parent that wants your child to know the value of what they are worth, what it takes to be the best, stamina, work ethic, life lessons, teamwork, then this is a great school for your baby.

This school is not a school. They should only teach music/dance as classes but not an establishment…read morethat students should spend the day in. The 2 stars that I gave this school were for the passion for music and some of the music teachers who are amazing. If my children could learn music all day, this school would be great. They put a great focus on their music and extra curricular activities but academics come last, If at all. The owner Professor Coleman tells you whatever you want to hear to get your money. Their curriculum is less than age appropriate with little to no assistance for the students or teachers with appropriate credentials. There is a very small teacher to student ratio and very little supervision. They allow students to go "off campus" without their parent's permission. Things that happen within the school amongst the students are sometimes shared with parents, but not always - especially if the parent in question will take their student out due to the lack of supervision. The academic, dance, music and theatrical teachers drop like flies around this place because they have passion and morals and cannot get down with this program. Mid-year when you realize he didn't apply your $500 deposit, he calls it a registration fee. He tries to charge you through August, but somehow prorated homeschool fees, so the homeschools don't find out. Then he holds a summer program and only fulfills a few of the summer fun activities. Additional they asked for parent chaperones without getting permission from the parents of the kids who are being driven. Nor did they verify the chaperone's drivers license or insurance information. During the summer program my 12 year old, 2 - 14 year olds , and a 13 year old were being driven by an 18 year old. The 13 year old gives my son a pill and told him it was candy. It was a sleeping pill. This building is old and run down and definitely not up to code. It's a beautiful, historical building but not safe for preschool - high school students. They allow adults (other parents) to come on campus during school hours to confront students of whom their students have beef with. After a performance, Professor Coleman is verbally abusive to his students by telling them that they are "pathetic", "he doesn't want them walking away thinking they did great" and has gotten involved and cancelled outside gigs for students when he wasn't involved. This summer, after the students amazing lemon fest vocal performance in 99 degree weather, with the sun in their faces, Professor Coleman told them "they're an embarrassment and they're making his school look bad because they didn't perform the way they should have." He goes on an on about how he has this high education but then turns around and develops curriculum for those who he believes are less than and that doesn't meet the A-G requirement because he doesn't have the staff to teach it. The other staff who works there are nice, but they're loyal to him and have his back. They won't hold him accountable or tell him that he should do better, when they know he's wrong. There is zero communication through the school, the promises that were made to the parents were broken and the professor is as petty and vindictive as they come. The only parents who will vouch for him are his favorites. Make sure to read the 16 reviews that are not recommended at the bottom. They are either from parents such as myself, or current/former students, staff and the favorites. I'm surprised this school is still around. If you take your chances on this school - best of luck. You've been warned.
