This has been another great season at the Pantages. This beautiful theater is being managed wonderfully and we have spent many evening with great comedy, music and various other types of entertainment. Three cheers for the Broadway Center for the Performing Arts!

Beautiful theatre! I've come here for many field trips and plays. Most recent was a puppet show of Lord of the Rings. Many schools come here, and it's a perfect place for a field trip. Very entertaining and fancy.
