My friend and I were here Wednesday night for the 3 Doors Down show. My friend is on oxygen and unfortunately we did not prepare with buying handicap tickets. The staff here could NOT have been more accommodating and helpful! Im still so grateful for everyone that helped us. They made his first concert even better! I cant thank you all enough!

A shining star in the city of Wilkes-Barre. I will never hesitate to purchase tickets to a show at the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts because there isnt a bad seat in the house. A majestically preserved modern / art deco theater that truly is the heart of music and stage in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

Venue is terrific, but there should be a rule that all ticket buyers have to remain seated. Its ridiculous to purchase tickets for center orchestra seating and not be able to see a thing because everyone is standing. If they want to stand allow a designated section in the back for that.

Came here for a Joe Bonamassa concert. Great experience. The theater is smaller than the Mohegan Sun, which I think helps with a better acoustic experience, and you get a good view of the stage even from the back. After the concert, go to Franklins next door for a drink.

Ive seen many shows here throughout my life. The most recent show was Conor Oberst on July 27, 2017. The venue has a very classic look and feel to it and the sound and views of the stage are all very good, no matter where you are sitting.

Saw Alton Brown here earlier this year and loved both the show and the venue. Large, but only large enough, still feels small and somewhat intimate. Sound was very good as was the lighting. Great place to see a show.

Beautiful venue, friendly staff. The only thing that would make it better is if they had more parking.
