Academy Center of the Arts

We attended the Lynchburg Humane Society "Best Friends Ball" fund raiser. The facilities are kept in great condition and are perfect for shows and even meetings. The best friends ball was a blast with live skits, auctions, excellent food, and an open bar. We brought our dog and got to meet adoptable puppies, kittens, cats and dogs. A fun and well run event for a great cause.

We attended the musical, 'Ragtime' and really enjoyed it. The performance was truly entertaining. Definitely worth the ticket price!

Went to this location for a small concert and it was a wonderful setup and beautiful venue. The staff were friendly and helpful. The prices for drinks were average in price but still fair. The facility was mainly standing for this concert but it was a good feeling.

There's not many options for local art and performance events in Lynchburg so I'm grateful for the Academy Center. I've been to a couple of plays and charity events and have been satisfied with the Academy Center. Most recently, I went to the 2018 hungry bowls with my mom. The bowl donations from local artists were beautiful. There are few issues, however. Parking is difficult and the door is in an awkward location. Seating for plays are cramped and uncomfortable. The hungry bowls event was poorly organized this year. Three lines snaked around the packed room with no guide ropes. The bowls were almost gone by the time we arrived and we got there 15 minutes after opening. After waiting in the second line to get our bowls, mom and I left because it was overcrowded and we didn't want to wait another half an hour to get food. We were happy to donate to charity but were disappointed by the lack of organization. Tip: bring a seat cushion if you plan to attend a play!

Very spacious... parking is confusing... front door way area needs to be wider and more inviting.
