Astoria Performing Arts Center – APAC

APAC Summers Stars is such an amazing program with such great leaders to lead our wonderfully talented little «Stars» to stage. The original musicals are not only entertaining but always leaves you with a positive message. I have been blessed to have both my girls perform on their stage and will continue to support for years to come. I highly recommend this program to any parent of a future star and invite the community to continue to support this free program that will continue because of continuous community support. APAC changes lives.

I can’t believe I’m the first one to review them!
I found their staff to be welcoming, with the one fun snarky staffer which you expect to find at most any smaller theater company. I like what they’ve done with the church space. They have ample space for larger productions, including ample lighting equipment. The acoustics aren’t the best, but they’re not horrible. The performers with better, stronger chops were easily heard, and you didn’t have to concentrate too hard to hear the lighter voices.
The chairs are about as comfortable as padded folding chairs are going to get. There is some wooden bleacher creaking going on, which can get annoying when you have an antsy audience member. And you do have the occasion issue of being able to hear the performers crossing behind you and whispering as they prepare for their entrance.
But for $ 18 tickets, it’s really not bad. The production was solid, and the location was easy to find.
