Lester Centre of the Arts Reviews

 Always a welcoming place. A true gem of the North, for enthusiasm and graciousness.

 Great sound, nice clean place.

 The gala was wonderful entertainment. There was an issue with my tickets as I got them well ahead of time in a row that I usually sit O22/23. However when I got to the Theatre the seats had been sectioned off with tape so was unable to access the seats. I sat in a different open chair spot. Better communication between JPA and the Lester Centre of what areas are to be sectioned off so that the Lester centre is aware of what seats cannot be sold

 the Holy Days movie was wonderful. We enjoyed it thoroughly and hope there will be more movie nights like this. Only one suggestion, that is someone would serve or sell water bottles, pop in the lobby before the movie that might be an idea. There are no vending machines at the Civic centre or pool. We understand the refreshments are not to be brought in to the theater. Only for the lobby. We will of course come to movie night again. Very nice. Funny show.

 BCADC Gala night is a competition, with the best of the week’s finalists fighting it out for winning prizes! Exciting and emotional! LOVE IT.

 Great service. Organized staff.

 Really nice building and great crew friendly staff

 Exceptional experience- grateful to have such a place in Prince Rupert

 Hotel California was a great show! I really enjoyed it with friends! Not a full crowd, but they were very enthusiastic and active! Look forward to more live shows in the future! Thankyou, Denise Smith.

 Pleased as always, whenever I walk into the Lester. The positive energy that welcomes you at the exact moment of your arrival ensures another great experience. I believe C.A., does remarkable work. Thank you to him and all of the other great people he has brought onboard.

 Booking the tickets was easy and straight forward.

 It is a nice theater and all staff were pleasant and friendly

 Great show

 Always positive! Very professional!

 Beautiful theatre!

 The event was a amazing. So much fun. Well done for the first event of the season.

 Did not hear a welcome to the territory. Heard arm rests fall to the ground during the performance. I saw a lady with a walker have a hard time leaving the building on her own because she could not open the door on her own. Sound from speakers sounded horrible, like it came from the left side, no base felt while sitting in upper balcony

 Event is amazing.

 Did not hear an acknowledgment of the territory. Toilet paper needed replacing at in the ladies washroom at the beginning of the night. Sound system should be set up better, lacked overall quality. Sounded like sound was more to the left speakers and didn’t sound like sound was coming from stage speakers.

 Jazz/Hip HopDance music wasn’t loud enough. The lycial/tap/musical theatre/variety music sounded good.

 Chair arms keep falling off. It was dusty on the window sills going up to the balcony.

 What an amazing performance , the theatre staff were all lovely . No complaints for our first gala we had attended in your city

 One of the most disappointing dance Galas held at LCA to date. There were no appies served, the Prosecco was nothing but cheap sweet spumante. By intermission there was no more wine, only beers and water options. And it went on until almost 11:30pm which is very late for families with young children. Overall a disappointing and annoying event.

 There were a few hiccups with music volume and incorrect songs playing. There was also a problem with brand name items being stolen out of our competitors’ bags while they were onstage, which I don’t know how to suggest to mitigate and isn’t directly related to the organizers of the event, however it added to the overall feeling of the event. Other than that, the amount of work and effort organizers put into this event all year long is very very much appreciated!

 We loved it. It is enjoyable both for kids and adults! Michael is so much talented. He can be spontaneous and ready to act for unexpected reactions and responses.

 I really enjoyed this event.

 We loved it... wvery minute of it

 I really like the energy that the entire group brings - they have so much talent! The sound mix was way off though. The vocals were muffled and the music just took over. Kim has an incredible voice and it was disappointing not to hear him sing. I felt like the handing out of door prizes was a bit odd. It definitely took away from the overall experience. I look forward to seeing them again next year but hope the sound mix is set so we can hear the vocals clearly.

 Last year the students put the standard too high with the musical. So this year if the community expects to see a similar thing, they may be disappointed. This should be the actual size of a school play. Act 2 was better. I embrace all actors putting so much effort. Please keep up with the work

 I enjoyed the venue and thought the acoustics were great! Movie was ok.

 We just moved to Rupert. The venue was fantastic. Dallas Smith was great this was the 2nd time I’ve seen him and the intimate venue made it so unique. Can’t wait to enjoy many more events at the Lester Centre. Thanks for making this happen!!!

 Amazing show. Sound was great

 Superb and perfect! Loved it !

 Sad to see as much open liquor and outs side booze in the theatre itself. Show itself was wonderful.

 I was drawn in from the moment it started- what a fabulous concept bravo Haley Marie and the outstanding band !!!

 No welcome to the territory.

 Great show. It's nice to view our hometown talent.

 we loved the professional dancers and costumes, but the last performance before the intermission, the sound was too loud and the enthusiasm, even though appreciated, was too loud. We had to cover our ears and then we left at the intermission.

 It was fantastic!!

 Too bad there weren’t more people. I was surprised by the small crowd. Great show otherwise and beautiful comfortable seats!

 Alex MacKenzie was hilarious and heart warming! Felt like an intimate set that was tailored to the audience. I would recommend this show to all my friends i hope he comes back!

 I didn't get a chance to see it. but my grandkids enjoyed it. I did purchase tickets for the sat showing before i signed up to volunteer as a back stage hand I had fun and for sure would do it in a heart beat. I was able to find someone to fill my ticket Grandkids had fun

 Absolutely loved the show...funny put together amazingly..my grandson who I 7 loved it and was excited to meet up with the cast after..10 out of 10.

 First off, one of the most engaging and enjoyable musicals EVER! Second, how could it not be with the dynamic duo of Heather MacRae and Chrys Thompson at the helm???? Vocals were powerful, thanks to vocal coach Ellory Clayton. Jewel Campbell Jerstad did a magical number on the many unique costumes. The dragon came to life thanks to technical wizardry of Chrys Thompson and craftsmanship of Sabine Lundman. Dwain Harrison's castle is a true work of art. Bravo, all!

 Talented cast, everything was amazing !

 Nothing but bangers and gut busting laughs. Excellent performance.

 Wonderful performance. The children were entertained the entire time.

 ABSOLUTELY FANASTIC ! This was so much fun...incredible acting and singing!. BRAVO !!

 Me and my 7 year old enjoyed it. 3 hours was long for me but still I like it. Congrats to the band too ! I found it a bit weird that here were.not many kids in the audience?

 Hilarious. Loved it. Laughed hard from beginning to end.... cast VERY well!

 Spectacular

 The only set back is the sound. I was seated on the gallery seats and the sound this round is really bad. Can't hear most of the singing. Hope you can look into it as it is said not to be able to hear all the jokes and lovely voices. Cheers

 Shrek is fantastic! High energy, talented cast kept the audience entertained through-out the show.

 Great sets, great costumes, great actors, great story and performances! 10/10 - happy to have been able to support and attend!

 A very enjoyable evening with catchy music and amusing hi-jinx.

 This was so good! The singing and choreography blew me away, so many talented people in the cast.

 Fun musical. Disappointed with ‘sound’ . Microphones not working for leads at crucial times.
