The Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts — Attraction in Oakville

It is conveniently located at an easily accessible and central location in downtown Oakville, has a good size stage, relatively comfortable seats with good sight lines from all of them, nice big lobby with a bar. My only issue with the theatre itself is that there is no actual orchestra pit. This both poses a challenge for productions as to where to house the orchestra as well as is a letdown to people like me who enjoy sitting up front and watching the actual orchestra play during musical productions.

My hearing was affected for several days. You might bring earplugs as...

We had a wonderful experience with the Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts 🎭 when we were gifted seats at the performance of Walking OffThe Earth.

It was my first experience post COVID lockdowns and the staff made the concert very enjoyable. We felt safe and secure in the intimate theater setting just us and a few hundred music lovers.

WOTE was spectacular in this intimate setting.

Parking was free within...
