I read "World Performance Arts Center" and thought it seemed a bit presumptuous for what I figured would be a small college theater. It is actually "Wold" in honor of the major donors haha, my bad. The theater is not small at 750 seats. The venue still looks new inside and out, and it is almost 20 years old. The lobby is amazingly airy and spacious with a reception area and stunning contemporary chandeliers. The theater itself is modern, with warm woods and bathed in red...red curtains and seats. It is a beautiful performance arrangement with good sightlines and excellent acoustics, with fine sound system (based on the mics the actors wore, I could hear almost every word). No wonder it was selected for the final televised 2012 US Presidential Debate between Obama and Romney. Rest rooms are huge and clean. One minor note is the box office can be slow to purchase tickets and there could be wait. In this day and age, when purchasing with a credit card, why do they need to manually type in billing address, etc.? Update the system so the ticket buyer only has to insert the card and be on their way.

Once we entered the theater I was overwhelmed by the smell of buttery popcorn. Wine, chocolates & snacks are also for sale. I enjoyed "Ethan Bloom" the independent film presented at the Movies of Delray. For $8 I had a fabulous evening here. This sweet coming of age film had an All-Star cast that was both funny and profound. The film touched on themes of grief, spiritual identity, first love & belief that faith and love can transcend religious differences. I enjoyed the background information presented by the director & producer Herschel Faber. Afterwards he answered many questions from the audience. I used to enjoy film clubs & events in my NYC independent theater; the Movies of Delray are truly a gem here!

There's no attendant at the front, so you head to the concession counter for your movie snacks and to have your tickets scanned. We sat in the back row, which does not have the in-seat ordering service. Also worth noting--those seats do not recline. You'll need to upgrade to the Lux if you want the reclining seats. The screen was crisp, the sound system was great, and the theater itself was really comfortable. What impressed me even more was seeing attendants waiting to clean the theater as soon as the movie ended. That seems to be few and far between nowadays! The women's restroom was also very clean--my last restroom experience at another fairly new theater was basically a horror movie of its own. Parking can be a little bit of a walk since the shopping center gets busy, so you may end up a few aisles away, but everything is still very walkable and it really wasn't a big deal. I live in Lake Worth, and after some not-so-great experiences at theaters closer to home, I would absolutely make the drive back to Deerfield Beach to enjoy a clean, comfortable theater again. Definitely recommend!

This is like the Rolex Store on Rodeo Drive in the Beverly Hills of South Florida (of performance…read morevenues). It is the best small theatre space in all of the tri-county area. It has intimate seating, is immaculately clean, easy free parking, or valet, elevators for older patrons, nice bathroom facilities, hi-tech sound and audio equipment for a smaller space, the lighting sets that I witnessed, which I know nothing about in technical terms, were up during a production of my daughter's summer musical were artistically so far beyond what I have seen at adult regional theatre. This blew my mind! I felt like Judy Garland was going to pop out at any moment! The show that the group put on in that space, all with amateur kids, was beyond my wildest expectations. They made a play that was $12 that I would have paid to see on Broadway for $80 and still felt it was worth it, both because of the space and how well the kids were received by the audience, cracking up with laughter and crying during the emotional scenes. There is great food all around the area of the Arts Center here, free garage parking, paid metered street spots, an even valet at a downstairs Jazz club in the same building. Best area of Boca for culture and stuff to do. This kids drama troupe was phenomenal, and the space was more than I had expected. The friends that I dragged along to see my kids perform were expecting a auditorium stage like in a cafeteria with a performance by kids that was unbearable, and they left leaving stunned and thrilled with what they thought would be a waste of a night but wound up being better than an actual Broadway NY night now! That was an actual comment that I heard! Unbelieveable. They (the Arts Center, not the kids theater) did a great job turning this downtown building over into a multi-performance, restaurant, club, and office space from what occupied it before, the Cartoon Museum. If you ever have a chance to see a show here, especially if it is a kids show with that summer group, take advantage, and get in some much needed cultural arts into your life for a good price and a great night out! Take my advice. This place is a gem in a largely culturally-void world of South Florida, especially Boca. It was easy to buy tickets, easy to take wheelchair-bound people to, and easy to see a musical theatre show with intermission there. Tremendous experience at this venue!

Parking is not too far away so they put them back and came back with blankets to sit on. There are a variety of food and beverage vendors.

The event was created in collaboration with Galera Collective, a creative collective and mural artist management group. Friday kicked off the event with a reception and free concert with Gypsy Dust & The Resolvers at the amphitheater. On Saturday and Sunday artists painted on large panels displayed through the park. After the festival the panels will be moved throughout the city. Artists who participated in the mural painting included Ripes (Michael Goodman), Dome, Reds (Yenia Jaramillo), Chnk (Nicholas Mattioli), Arive - working with Space of Mind Students, Code (Cody Parker), Nico (Nicole Holderbaum), Buns (Zoe Genesis), PHD (Paul Hughes), Sarah Huang, Craig McInnis & Renata Rodrigues. The event also included food, drinks, and vendors along with face painting, sand art, bubbles and children's art projects. During the event, the Cornell Art Museum also located in Old School Square had a Delray Walls Artist Showcase inside the museum. The exhibit highlighted regional muralists who began their careers painting canvas, wood or creating sculptures and murals and also showcased all 12 Delray Walls artists gallery work inside the museum's lower level galleries. I love how this event had something for all ages to enjoy. On Sunday when I visited, children were enjoying The Little Merman, a Disney Tribute band. I appreciated that admission to the festival was free. Other than being held during the hottest July on record, I really enjoyed my time at the festival. I hope it becomes a Delray Beach summer tradition.
