This week my husband and I enjoyed rwo shows at the Cessnock Performing Arts Centre. Anh Do on Thursday night and James Reyne last night. Both shows were excellent. However last night's performance was marred by the number of people using their mobile phones to take photos and video the performance. Constant flashing lights were annoying. Unfortunately I was sitting next to a couple holding up their phones regularly. Before the Thursday night show a public announcement was made to turn phones off and recording not allowed. I didn't see a single person using their mobile. No such announcement was made last night and the result was obvious. Please remember to make this announcement before every show in the future.

I did drama here a while back and Dan was always looking out for me and the other students, performance quality is the best and always on point

The Sapphire's show was very disappointing. Although the singers had good voices the music itself lacked 'oomph'.

Yet another brilliant show in Lennon through a glass onion and just as brilliant were the staff can't thank you all enough for your dedication it makes the experience that much better thanks

I always enjoy my visits here. The sound system is average but it's not so noticeable if you're there for a seminar or similar. The sound system quality affects the theatre performances a bit. But overall the facilities are good and the staff are professional and helpful.

Wonderful experience amazing staff and cheap drinks, parking is limited but there are plenty of parks around the streets. Highly recommend a night out here:)

Great venue, fantastic and helpful staff, have been to many a show here and always an amazing night

Excellent performance space. Quality seating and easy access for all, wheel chairs, elderly and the young.
Thoroughly enjoyed a production of Romeo and Juliet by the Russian Ballet theatre company.
