The Peace Center is amazing and beautiful right in the heart of downtown. My most recent visit was to see the Blue Man Group... wish my seats had been closer though for this performance.... But I've also been for the Lion King, Wicked, 9 to 5 and others.... Always great.... Tip - there is no isle down the middle, so... More

This concert hall is very large and beautiful. Although it was packed it did not seem crowed but they could have more seating available in the foyer area as the crowds show up about 30 minutes before the doors open and have to stand around waiting for the concert doors to be opened. As others have already said it is... More

The Peace Center is beautifully set up, seating comfortable, and I don't think there is a bad seat in the house. Perfect location in downtown Greenville, easy access to parking garages. Restaurants close by.

The Peace Center has great accoustics and great location. Seats were comfy but were a little narrow. As with most venues, the higher you go, the narrower the seats. We were in the balcony front row, and I'm a pretty big guy. Would not stop me from sitting there again.

The physical setting of the Peace Center is centrally located in Greenville SC and has parking close by in parking garages. You can also eat at some of the local restaurants and they will let you leave your car there while attending the performance. Soby's and Larkins on the River are two of them with excellent food.

There is nothing to be said about this preforming arts venue. Every area or city of this size should afford the public access to an outstanding center should as this. It is a tribute to a city and to the arts. Without question one of the nicest ever visited in any city of any size!

My wife an I have moved 24 times in the US and Europe. We always become members of the local arts center. The Peace is as fine as any we have attended. The broadway series are not always as good as hoped for, but I'm sure that is not always under their control. The staff is marvelous to work with.

Very nice and very different accommodation in Greenville. Two theaters and parking was very easy. Only issue was the inside was a little confusing.

The GSO is a fine regional-grade orchestra. The Peace Center offers an eclectic range of entertaining shows from Blue Men to Bach. Gil Shaham, Yo Yo Ma, Joshua Bell have played here within the last 2 years.
