The San Francisco Bay Area is blessed with many great theaters and this is one of the more accessible gems. There is a parking lot attached (get there early though as it fills up quickly) and its an easy 1/5 mile walk from the Walnut Creek BART station. Its also surrounded by a wide variety of food options. The theater seats a good number of people, but its not so big that you any of the seats would really be considered bad. The box seats in the balcony are great for spoken work and bands (though you might want to bring earplugs because the speakers are hanging right next to you) but I dont recommend them for theatrical performances as youll miss some of what is on your side and be looking into the wings of the stage from the opposite side. The acoustics are good throughout (though like I said it can get quite loud in the balcony boxes). The lobby and floors have a good amount of space so hanging out with friends isnt too crowded while you are waiting for the house to open.

One of my favorite places in Walnut Creek. They have amazing shows. We saw the Christmas Carol there and it was by far one of the best Ive seen. They also partner with schools to provide interactive theatre. Love the whole space, very comfy seats and easy to get to. Love they also have art exhibits from time to time and they are very welcoming. This is a true gem. Easy parking too and very kid friendly.

Well designed theaters, convenient parking and best of all, it has a fantastic little art gallery in the lobby to browse before the show. Same day show tickets will get you free admission to the gallery and I am always amazed at the quality, creativity and uniqueness of the artwork they display.

Great community theater with a typical theater seating arrangment and a small balcony seating area. There is a neat art gallery downstairs which costs 5 dollars to explore. The alcohol served during showtimes is on the pricey side but reasonable when compared to community prices in general.

3 stages with a resident company. Seats are all good. There is also a studio style museum on the first floor. Staff are there for the love of it. They care about the building, so they have a hands off policy that is not normal in the industry.

My daughter and I catch a show at the Lesher Center at least twice a year. Its become such a treat to see a live performance and we have never been disappointed. We truly love the fact that the Center is practically in our backyard too.

We saw Women in Distress and it was hilarious. I was exhausted at the end of the show from laughing. I loved the cast and the producers personality. Just very well done. The seats were comfortable, and we enjoyed the intermission ice cream!

Great local theater. I saw Gypsy here last season and It Shoulda Been You this season, and was impressed by both. Obviously a few steps down from the larger productions youd see in San Francisco, Oakland, or Berkeley.

Parking is a legitimate pain in the ass. So get to the theater early if you can. We watched the Christmas Carol. The production was top notch. Seats were good and very reasonably priced.

Very nice location, lots of parking available ( though, come early to be on the safe side). All kind of shows including music and kids - nice people and safe location.

As season ticket holders for many years, and before this at the Willows Theater. We are so fortunate to have such amazing performances right here in our home town!

Building was nice and the seating was comfortable Saw "A Christmas Carol" there and was blown away by the entire event. It was a bit pricy but well worth it

A real art center right in Walnut Creek! local artists, national artists, and even international guests (e.g. FW DeKlerk from South Africa)!
