Ferst Center For The Arts — Attraction in Atlanta

The Ferst Center for the Arts at Georgia Tech in Atlanta is an amazing venue. There is not a bad view in the 900-seat house and the acoustics are wonderful. I performed there recently for Georgia Tech's annual Transformative Narratives Story Crawl. I was honored to be one of the headliners at the 3 Day, 7 event story festival. In the Spirit , a story and song duo from Chicago and New York city-based multi award-winning storyteller Jamie Brickhouse headlined as well. There were also seven outstanding local storytellers on the program. Whatever your taste - music, dance or drama - the F e r s t Center for the Arts is sure to please. The parking lot and parking decks are available a short walk from the venue. There is easy access to the location from North Avenue via Cherry Street. Check out the the Georgia Tech Story Crawl and plan to attend next time. There are workshops with Master coaches as well as open mic opportunities with great hospitality and...

"Where Tech Meets Standing Ovations"

The Ferst Center for the Arts is proof that Georgia Tech students don’t just calculate derivatives — they also deliver drama, music, and performances that make you forget you’re on an engineering-heavy campus. The hall is beautiful, acoustics are crisp, and every seat feels like it was designed by someone who actually sat in it first.

From student plays to visiting performers, the lineup is always a surprise — one week it’s a thought-provoking modern play, the next it’s a jazz performance that makes you wish you’d picked up a saxophone in high school.

The staff are friendly, ticketing is smooth, and the atmosphere makes you feel like you’re part of something special. Bonus: it’s right in the heart of campus, so you can grab a bite at a nearby spot and make a full evening out of it.

Pro tip: Even if you’re “not a theatre person,” just go once — you’ll leave Googling their...

This is a great venue for smaller productions. Recently, parking lot access at the adjacent lot/deck has under-performed and Georgia Tech should address this because it is an unreasonable and unpleasant burden. Recent performance of C.S. Lewis "Most Reluctant Convert" had adjacent streets gridlocked because of extremely slow parking lot admittance. For this reason show up early to shows. The theater itself warrants 5 stars. Cozy, no bad seats and acoustics are better than most Atlanta venues (which isn't saying much, lol). Music, dance, theater, poetry and stage artists are well presented at the Ferst Center. Highly recommend. Over the years we have enjoyed seeing the following acts at the Ferst Center: BBVD (Big Bad VooDoo Daddy), the Munich Symphony Orchestra, Jake Shimabukuro, Penn & Teller, Flying Karamazov Bros., Bill Cosby, Pilobus, Paula Poundstone,...
