burnsville performing arts center

Great show. Nice space for events. Comfortable seats. Went to will call a couple hours before the show to avoid lines and easily got my tickets. Convenient parking. All around good place for shows.

We just saw a great show at the Ames Center by the a capella group Home Free. They won the nationally televised TV contest show The Sing Off. It is a nice theater; especially for "south of the river" folks. Reasonably priced quality shows. Also convenient parking. ... There is a nice Mediterranean Restaurant across the street that makes for a nice evening or weekend matinee.

The Ames Center is a beautiful venue but I can't help but wonder why they don't have a control room in their theaters! We saw the opening of Jekyll and Hyde and the control area was right behind the last row of seats. There was a light on during the entire performance which was very distracting to people in the back 4 rows and there seemed to be a lot of communication going on which meant someone was talking frequently throughout the show. Who puts up a beautiful venue like this and doesn't have a control room so that the production noise and distraction can all be removed from the theater goers experience? We also were sitting near Jekyll and Hyde's director and he was on his cell phone during the entire production, which was also very distracting. I agree there is probably not a bad seat for viewing the stage in the entire theater but without a control room I would avoid the back of the theater.

The beauty was the Center! Now called the Ames Center, this is a great, intimate space to enjoy a show. We'll be watching which performers are booking at this venue!

We've driven by hundreds of times and never noticed the place.We went there for a Lorie Line concert, we go where she is every Holiday Season with no regard to location. This was the best one yet. Parking was convenient, and it appears there may not be a bad seat in the house.We liked the place a lot!

This was my first time at the BPAC. I was very impressed. Seemed to be plenty of parking nearby. I enjoyed the Broadway Boys show. I would go back to see another show here. Not a bad seat in the house.

I've been to the Burnsville Performing Arts Center twice now in the last two years. Each time was to enjoy a Lori Line Christmas Concert. There truly isn't a bad seat in the house and the auditorium is large enough to feel somewhat "grand" but small enough to provide that feeling of family and intimacy during a show. It's a great location with plenty of parking in the ramp just across the street.

New to Burnsville, the Performing Arts Center has many good artists and shows. It is located in the "Heart of the City."

You don't have to go downtown to enjoy high quality performances. Burnsville Performing Arts Center regularly schedules a variety of entertainment venues. The center is a wonderful building and convenient in the heart of the city.

I saw a comedian there on New Years Eve, good show. All seats have a pretty view. Acoustics are good.

Highly recommend this place. It is designed so that every seat is a good seat and you can see even if someone taller sits in front of you. The spacing of the seats is comfortable. It's relaxed--you can bring your drinks and food into the theater. The whole building is new and nice. Just know that is there happens to be an A and a B version of a show, such as a Chinese Acrobat Troupe, you are going to get the B version with half the entertainers than in a more expensive venue.

What a lovely facility! seating is nice, plenty of bathrooms, clean and spacious. I don't think you can ever have enough space for dressing rooms..but that was my only complaint.

First time that we have been there. Was a little surprised how nice it is. It's pretty new, and modern. We saw Ralphie May there, and really had a great time. I've noticed several events there through ticket master. Now that I know how nice it is, and convenient free parking, we will come back to see more events. Oh by the way it helped that Ralphie May was incredibly hilarious. And his wife was pretty good too. Also the performing arts building is close to a lot of good restaurants.

Beautiful community theater. Well run. Great place to watch a dance competition because there is not a bad seat in the house. lots of places close by to catch a snack or meal during your breaks. This is a gem for their community.

The community of Burnsville, MN is lucky to have such an amazing place for concerts and various performances. There isn't a bad seat in the place. As a bonus, the trees surrounding the Burnsville Performing Arts Center are all decorated for the holiday season. Thank you Burnsville!
