Finish dinner 30+ minutes before showtime. Most restaurants offer pre-theater menus.
Highly recommended, especially for evening performances. Book ahead to avoid disappointment.
Most listed restaurants are within 5-10 minutes walk. Factor in extra time during busy hours.

Saw the Temptations and the Four Tops, great show! The sound system sounded a bit off. Not sure if it was performers' equipment or the acoustics of the building. Coming to see another show in November so I'll know then!
We visited the performing arts center a few times. Once to see a show and recently, a comedian, both times were enjoyable. The theater is clean, well managed with many kind expert workers to help you get you to your seat. There are two bars, one at the front and one at the back of the Performing Arts Center, both easy to get to. We enjoyed our time and we will be back.
Based on my experience here, this event center is fantastic. Great, clean restrooms. Very comfortable atmosphere and environment. Prices on drinks and snacks were pretty good. Other venues have had way higher charges for like items. Clean interior. Good sound acoustics. Seats were comfy. The majority of viewpoints are fine no matter what area you are in. Nice layout. Ample free parking. Only negative thing I'd say is lack of foot room per seat. Kind of hard to walk through an aisle with people sitting. Almost similar legroom space like from a cabin economy airplane seat. That's what it reminded me of while sitting. Would recommend and would return based on the other numerous positive aspects mentioned!
The Columbia County Performing Arts Center offers a stellar experience with comfortable, well-positioned seating and excellent acoustics. Parking was ample and hassle-free, and the staff were courteous and efficient. A top-notch venue that enhances every performance—highly recommend!
Went to see the temptations and 4 tops and loved it. Especially the temptations who interacted with the crowd and had everyone up dancing and singing along
