Harold Miossi Hall at Christopher Cohan Performing Arts Center

I’ve been here for two concerts. A great venue that feels new and intimate. The acoustics are great. I like that the parking is in the adjacent structure and easy access to the venue (and free for the events I went to).

Last night we went to the PAC, to see Blind Boys of Alabama. Unfortunately Corey Henry was the first half of the show. Too say he was the WORST would be an understatement. He came strolling out on stage 20 minutes late sipping on what appeared to be a coffee. As if that wasn't bad enough, he was not prepared, didn't have a set list, just started doodling around on his piano, and synthesizer. No apologizing for arriving late from anyone. After 45 minutes of telling people to go buy his album, where he would be appearing next, shows at his church and 3 or 4 numbers(?), we had had enough! As we went to the lady in charge to tell her how disgusted we were about Corey Henry, three other couples were also coming to the lady to voice there displeasure in what the PAC had presented. Needles to say we never did see Blind Boys of Alabama, the act we paid good money to see!! Refund please!

I have sat a little more than half way and found opra glasses would be helpful to see expressions. Acoustics are incredible. From the third row you see clearly and the sound is still great. The photo shows how big the place is.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A True Gem on the Central Coast – Cal Poly Performing Arts Center The Performing Arts Center at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo is nothing short of spectacular. Whether you're a local or visiting the area, this venue is a must-see. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted with beautiful architecture nestled right against the scenic Cal Poly campus and rolling Central Coast hills. The acoustics inside the main hall are world-class—crisp, immersive, and warm—making it a favorite for both symphonies and Broadway-level productions. Every seat feels close to the action, and the attention to design creates a truly intimate experience, no matter the performance. Beyond the performance space, the entire Cal Poly campus is stunning. It’s a perfect blend of academic energy and natural beauty. Walking around before or after a show is a treat—especially during sunset. The staff and volunteers are kind, helpful, and clearly passionate about the arts. Parking is easy, the facilities are spotless, and the lineup of events year-round is impressively diverse. From student productions to world-renowned acts, there’s always something happening. Whether you're a lover of theater, music, dance, or just looking for a memorable cultural night out, the Cal Poly PAC delivers. I can’t recommend it enough!

Great Venue & Diverse Programming. We've attended dozens of different shows here, and all have been top notch. Always a great evening. Sound is excellent.
