We love this PAC. The staff is always wonderful and friendly. Parking is free and it’s easy to get in and out of. We attended our 2nd movie in concert. Last summer we watched ET while a live orchestra played all the music. Last night we watched the original Star Wars will the orchestra did amazing again. Such a cool experience. Highly recommend!
We’ve been attending events at Luhrs Performance Center for over a year now, and every visit has been fantastic. The venue is clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed — not a bad seat in the house! The staff is always friendly and helpful, and the variety of performances is impressive, from concerts to comedy to family-friendly shows. Parking is easy, and the whole experience feels welcoming and professional. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality entertainment in the area!
Drove down from Harrisburg to see JoDee Messina concert...the Luhrs Associates were a class act and friendly. The event venue is also spectacular!!! Well done Shippensburg University!!!
He had a great time at the Night of Queen. The seats were comfortable and the sound and light show was excellent!
The facility is really nice. We went to the taste of Ireland show, which was really good. My only complaint would be about the ticket website, as the map doesn’t state that you need to zoom in to see the handicap seating. Didn’t find out about that until I complained on Facebook about it. But all in all great facility after we got there.
