R Graham:

"My daughter was in a play here and the building is very nice. Murals and exhibits about the history of Newport News."

Jocelyn Solomona:

"Located in downtown Newport News. Don’t be swayed by the location, this was a very well maintained facility. Enjoyed a performance in the Ella Fitzgerald theater. The lighting was nice, as well as the seating and most importantly, the acoustics. I had no idea this place was in Newport News. They offer open mic night the second Tuesday of each month AND other free events. This place is all about celebrating the arts and giving back to the community. Highly recommend going online and checking them out as an option to host your next event."

"I absolutely love this place! We appreciate them bringing the ARTS to an underserved community. We've seen plays, attended concerts, had dance class, took pictures with Santa and so much more. Every experience is even more amazing than the last one!"

"Great cultural experience...August Wilson would be proud of the readings of his plays. Very talented participants. There voices put me right there and props were not needed."
