★★★★★Diane GloseI enjoy seeing shows at the Johnson Theater. My daughter has performed there on multiple occasions. Its always clean and the whole building is well maintained.
★★★★★JaneFirst time here - actually first time on UNH campus which was beautiful - at least it looked that way at night. We saw John Pizzarelli and the show was beyond wonderful! For those first time visitors not familiar with the campus, suggest you arrive before dark. We got lost and there weren't a lot of ppl walking around. We got so lost trying to make our way back to our car - I had to call the police. Very nice to deal with and they helped. The acoustics in the theater were great. Not fancy, but the price was unbelievable. Will definitely return. And I'll check out the campus in daylight! Wonderful experience!
★★★★★Eva HamelWonderful venue to see UNH students perform. We've been attending for four years while our son has been a music student. Most performances are free to the public. The venue is well kept. We will continue to be patrons even after our son graduates.
★★★★Zach TrippWe saw a very nice concert in the Johnson theater. The staff was very helpful. The theater is nice. Not super fancy but nice. We sat near the front of the back section so our view was blocked by people sitting in the walkway. If you sit in the back it may be better to sit towards the rear of the theater. Parking is a pain, shocking. If you go on the weekend the best bet is lot b. Still a little walk to the theater. If you need a handicap spot arrive super early and park in front of the theater. There is a long ramp down to the door.
★★★★★Benji McKerrowI basically live at PCAC as an art student. I have really learned to love this building, it's really quirky and definitely haunted but it has pretty much everything an art student could need.
