"This place would have been great if it weren't for the inside of the auditorium freezing! I hope the school does right by the building and actually fix the heating situation."
"Great production space. It's handicap accessible, although not particularly easy to navigate if you have mobility issues."
"Went to this phenomenal concert last evening at Shea Center, on Willuam Paterson Univ. Campus. What a phenomenal venue and show. The performers were absolutely amazing in a nearly 2 hour show that thoroughly captivated the audience. Highly recommend on all levels."
"A really nice theater. Not too big so you get a great view of the show. I saw Scot Bruce the Elvis impersonator, he did a great job at entertaining the audience. I will definitely return here to see other performances."
"So close to home for a great cultural experience. Not a bad seat in the house! Everything from Jazz, lectures, and tonight - Darlene Love! Very spacious, comfortable seats. Staff is friendly and helpful. Take advantage of this little gem!"
