Reviews of Winter Visual & Performing Arts Center
"The Christmas concert was fantastic. So different from any other concert I've ever been to. If it's performed again I wouldn't hesitate to go. Very fun!"
"Outstanding venue! Very friendly & helpful staff! Zoooooom by Patch Theater was great!"
"This is a really great live performance theater. Great acoustics and sound generally. Comfortable seating. And unsurprisingly they bring in some interesting acts that you may not see anywhere else."
"This is a great music venue. Everything sounds wonderful here. Of course, it's usually filled with talented musicians from Millersville University. :) For popular events, get your tickets early. This is not a very large place and events sell out. However, the building is nice, there are plenty of restrooms and comfortable intimate seating. Parking is available but not the easiest to find if you aren't familiar with the area. Once inside, acoustics are wonderful and it's quite pleasing."
