Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts

I saw the ballet here and it was pretty good.
The venue is nice. It looked a bit 70’s or 80’s with the entrance but still nice. It’s nice and small. The people that worked there were really nice. It was nice overall.
The reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because you can hear the crew chit chatting during the performances.

I came here to see a beautiful tango concert in October. It’s a small venue with a good sound system, comfortable seating and nice view of the stage. Like another reviewer had said: they seem to have a very interesting line-​up of singers, musicians and dancers, and ticket prices are quite affordable.

Otherwise known as the Pace theater, since it is hosted by Pace University and used regularly by Pace’s performing arts students and events. Tribeca Film Festival also tends to host films in here, at least it did the one year that I was able to get tickets. I was here most recently for a corporate event. The theater looks pretty spacious, but its quite small, so this makes the theater experience quite cozy.

What a mob of angry self-​important students! «Do you know who I am?» PLEASE tell her she’s nobody! If it weren’t for our amazing seats in the third row and the cast of Modern Family, I would have walked out of the theater. It’s a lovely theater. The acoustics are amazing and there isn’t a bad seat in the house.

Pace University, my alma mater.
Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts is the principal yet small theatre, though it’s no state of the art Broadway scale equipped, but in recent years it has grown and gain much attention in the theatre industry with President Friedman’s reign. This theatre is good for upcoming actors/​actresses or playwrights looking for a break-​in the theatre industry. I saw «The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui» on Oct. 12, 2002 which the cast included John Goodman, Al Pacino, Steve Buscemi, Marisa Tomei, et al which was presented by National Actors Theater.

Saw Wu Man’s pipa performance here yesterday via the free River-​to-​River Summer Stars event. It was interesting when she pointed out that they now use nylon and gut for strings so they can play louder and at bigger venues, thus the use of plastic fingertips. She was the first Chinese artist from Beijing to play at the White House. She has also received accolade from Yo-​Yo Ma in Toronto for her outstanding talent. She became the first recipient of a master’s degree in pipa and won the first prize in the 1989 National Music Performance Competition. Wu Man is credited for bringing pipa to the Western World.
