Broadway Center For the Performing Arts

The «front of house manager» Sarah Wise, goes on facebook and actually fights with people and calls them names over the stupidest bull shit! That’s so ridiculously ignorant to do, especially when you have your employment listed. She is dumb «cyber bully».

Still missing TAG.

From bringing in Tony-​Award winning shows like Spring Awakening (last season) to hilarious comedians like Margaret Cho (just this last week), the Broadway Center for the Performing Arts has successfully booked many great acts to Tacoma every season.
The Broadway Center has driven me to drive south many a times and I foresee that I will keep doing it in the future.

Last night I saw Leo Kottke at the Rialto Theater, my first time at the Rialto Theater. Of all the restored theaters I have been to, the Rialto is my favorite.
The staff was friendly and helpful. The restoration has kept the feel of days long ago, the acoustics were gentle and balanced.
Parking was easy to find and affordable, parking is also available at the Tacoma Dome light rail facility, and free rides on the light rail, however I believe the light rails stops running at 10:00 PM.
The restoration of this complex of theaters is designed to be a large anchor in the restoration of Tacoma, which Tacoma is successfully pulling off. The surrounding areas, are filled with pubs, restaurants and coffee shops. The whole area has become very inviting. I look forward to attending more events at these theaters.
Cons: as a previous reviewer has noted, if you need any handicap provisions, please call the management and discuss the options, this is not a new concrete constructed building.

While the Center brings in some wonderful talent to show in the downtown area, I can’t give it full kudos. The restoration process of the old buildings did not include making provision for handicap other than the bare minimum. People in walkers and larger individuals will find it tough going. The only wheelchair areas were in the last row.
I asked for a chair with no arms or some other seating solution when I found the seats too narrow for me to sit. The management told me they had nothing I could use. When I chose to sit on the dusty, dirty floor instead of suffer through the pain of the seats, they asked me to leave.

Running three theaters in Tacoma — The Pantages, The Rialto, and Theater on the Square — The Broadway Center for the Performing Arts has made downtown Tacoma a great place to go catch a show. The Pantages Theater and The Rialto Theater have both been restored to their original splendor and Theater on the Square is a marvel of modern architecture. Clearly these guys have no agenda beyond bringing culture to the area and preserving history of Tacoma.
The Broadway Center for the Performing Arts made me realize that I wouldn’t cry quite as hard as I thought I would if I were forced to move to Tacoma. Actually, with the plethora of good vintage and antique stores in the neighborhood and all sorts of new restaurants to try and waterfront to explore you may just see more Tacoma Unilocal from me.
