FAQs

what are the best seats at Providence Performing Arts Center?

Like most stage theaters, the best seats at the Providence Performing Arts Center are the orchestra seats. However, depending on your comfort level and preference, balcony seats can be just as rewarding, if not better. Take a look at the PPAC seating chart before choosing your seat to get a glimpse of where you want to be.
How early should I arrive for a show at Providence Performing Art Center?

It is suggested to arrive at the Providence Performing Arts Center at least 30 minutes before the performance. If you are late, the theater imposes its Latecomer Policy which asks late-arriving guests to wait until the approved time to enter the theater. There are concessions to visit while waiting for the curtain call and lounge areas to relax in prior to the show.
