Wilson Arts Center — Attraction in Wilson

We went to The Boykin Center to watch The Little Mermaid with our family. I will say the cast did an outstanding job! We enjoyed the show and they did so good with their singing! We were very impressed! Some of our complaints are the fact that profanity was used in a family show, and there were major audio issues! A lot of the cast either did not have microphones or they were not working. Some had major static in their microphones that was never resolved. In general the choreography was poorly arranged and the show appeared to be poorly directed. Another negative is being charged admission for a child under the age of 3. Over all the tickets were fairly expensive for a family. Another major complaint is the lack of changing tables in the restrooms! This made it very difficult for families with young children!! Please install changing tables so that your center is more accessible...

I was shocked at how metropolitan the gallery looks. It's a lovely, well lit, well thought out space. Given the size of the town it was surprising on many levels. The permanent collection is quite contemporary. The exhibitions are often cutting edge. I have been to galleries in much larger cities that do not have as well thought out a space as this. Kudos to all the people responsible...

The Arts Council is one of the many gems you'll find in Historic...
