Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts — Attraction in Carmel

The Center for the Performing Arts is simply the most gorgeous, well-maintained, acoustically tuned, and grand performance venue I've ever seen. Featuring the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts. 🎭 This state of the art facility is modeled after traditional European architecture on the outside. On the inside, the Palladium contains special glass panels that the stage crew can adjust to better reflect the sound waves coming from the stage. This means that, no matter where you're sitting in the audience, you can hear every detail and color of the performance. The south lobby features a wonderful bar, where you can sip on the fanciest drinks, and take your drinks into the concert hall! The bartender also mixes an excellent Coca-Cola with freshly squeezed slices of lime! The interior design is clever as well! The men's room has bass clefs on the floor tiling, for those who get the reference.

But that's not all! Across the Carter Green, there's another building: the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre. 🎭 This building contains both the Civic Theatre and a smaller studio theatre, meaning that there is something for every taste in music, theatre, and entertainment!

Multiple organizations have the honor of calling the Center for the Performing Arts their home. 🏡 These include the Carmel Symphony Orchestra, which grew from a humble volunteer group to a professional caliber ensemble this past decade; the Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre, featuring innovative choreography and fluid movements; the Great American Songbook foundation, which will take you back to the good old days of the 40s with smooth, jazzy, and wistful standards; and the storied Carmel Christkindlmarkt, which provides cherished Christmas joy on Carter Green every Advent and Christmas season! 🙏✝️❤️‍🔥🕊️ And so much more

5/5; highly recommend! And don't forget to have a fancy drink in the...

I was thoroughly disgusted by the seats that were sold for the Dave Koz performance. I was seated in the Gallery section O. The seats were sold as partially obstructed, but one had to move their seat to the edge of the railing and bend over the railing to be able to view the stage. I had to stand up for the majority of the concert because my back began to ache after leaning forward for 20 minutes. There was also a very large speaker directly in front of us that made the stage unable to be viewed. The sound was atrocious as well. Six people that sat beside us left at the intermission. Many others expressed disappointment that the seats were non-viewable and the music indistinguishable. The whole upper level on the sides should not be available for purchase. The view on their website is inaccurate. I will, as others stated, never go to the Center again. I will also be contacting Dave Koz to state our horrible experience. Shame on the Center and it's personnel to offer these seats for purchase. It was a despicable act that they took our money ($40 per seat) and offered us horrible views in return. I will be telling every one that I work with in my large corporation (over 4000 people) about my terrible...

High Class and 1st Class all the way. Every seat sold is a seat where you will enjoy the performance. This venue is designed perfectly. It provides you a great experience. Beware: you'll be surrounded by rich old white q-tip heads but we will all be there someday. The good thing is they are getting out and staying active, and honestly there isn't a better place I have found that even comes close to this place. Simply wonderful and have loved Rick Springfield, Richard Marx, Lonestar, Michael McDonald, Amy Lee (Evanescence) and now tonight an Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) tribute band.

It's my hopes that this venue can attract some more bigger names in the future. If that happens we will gladly get back to holding "season tickets" like we did in the beginning days. Since covid it's been a rarity to find a performer we want see. Very sad that we bought season tickets at Ruoff in Noblesville for 2023. We really had hoped to get back to coming here often again because it's definitely more like a "Las Vegas" type concert experience....much more intimate and provides...
