Reviews of The Center For Arts In Natick (Movie Theater)

Sharon Ziegler

Awesome place to see a show

Aakash Desai

Have seen some shows and attended events here. The food/bar is basic and the main floor area is not that big. They do well with the space available.

Kate Connors

Fantastic intimate space for live music, spoken word, and theater. Cozy and comfortable with limited but nice selection of beer, wine and snacks.

Caitlyn Finn

Great atmosphere! Love the variety of entertainment they offer. Beautiful building

Laura balstein

Childrens acting (summer) camp IS TERRIBLE!!!! Staff was rude, the camp was just so terribly and cheaply ran. I was watching them "rehearse" for the play that was scheduled for the next day, and all it consisted of was the "teacher" saying "umm, do this" or "uh, do that" and the play the next day was even worse. The kids had NO costumes, there were NO props, And worst of all, my daughter didn't even have fun. Dont waste your money.

Stephen Kwok

Great puppet show, plenty of space!

Carol Milne

Excellent performance by George Winston.

Christopher Brodeur

Saw the 50th anniversary showing of the Beatles' Yellow Submarine. One of the animators who worked on the film was a special guest prior to the film. It was really a nice addition to the experience. The film looked and sounded fantastic. There was art work from the animator on display downstairs to view or purchase before and after the movie. Great experience.

Peter Shin

This is a great venue for a concert. It is very intimate and there isn't a bad seat. We were in one of the back rows and you can see how close we were.

Phil Schwarz

Bigger capacity venue than Amazing Things in Framingham, but seats are not on risers so the view of the stage isn't very good from seats at the rear of the hall.

Darryl Hill

Expect great music here.

Christian Klein

This is a great venue. The smaller size leads to no bad seats in the house. I've been to two shows here, and the quality was excellent.

Gari B Palmer

Jimmy Herring rocked. Fun, intimate venue with excellent sound

John Moran

Very enjoyable venue. Will return. We are members. Excellent entertainment. Pleasant place to spend an evening.

Emilio DiBenedetto

Love this venue and the people

David Dew

Great intimate location for seeing a live band. Not a bad seat in the house. Joining as a member supports this volunteer run arts venue and grants first choice of seats. Popular acts will sell out!

Ginny Carpenter

Great play, high production value, great cast.

Amy Zuckerman

Fantastic venue! Saw Tom Scott and the LA express who blew me away! Best night!!!!!

Nice venue, good size. I would have given a 5 however finding and getting to the bathroom was difficult.

Paul Daigle

Great acoustics, intimate, and personal connection with the performers. Excellent value.

Love this place. The worst seats are better than bigger places best seats. I can't believe the caliber of acts that stop in.

Caleb Tower

The best

Mathew Tuttelman

Great small venue to see acts up close and personal.

I love this place. An old fire station tuned musical and theater venue. Small, intimate, and great acoustics. They also bring very good performers.

K Conner

This is a hidden gem in the middle of Natick Center! Great place to catch a movie or concert.

Dwight A. Ernest

Love this place. Great small venue for intimate concerts. Really want to check out the new film screening room. Have attended several concerts here, and enjoyed them all. A valuable local resource!

Diane Mandile

Great small venue. Highly recommend

Everett Harman

A great place for performances. This old Firehouse was converted into performance spaces. Good entertainment at reasonable prices.

J Istvan

A great venue! Carbon Leaf is an amazing band!

David Lamb

Great nonprofit venue for an intimate concert!

John Kutasz

TCAN is, quite possibly, my favorite concert venue. I've been to 3 shows here, and each time the experience has been wonderful. Starting with convenient parking, pleasant people working the doors, comfortable seating with plenty of leg room, great sight lines, this place provides everything I'm looking for at a concert. It's a small space, which means that there probably isn't a bad seat to be found, and the old firehouse location has been beautifully renovated. I live out of state, but regularly find that great acts are playing here, seemingly whenever I visit - so whoever does their scheduling deserves a shout out. I could rattle off a dozen reasons why I would not want to attend a concert at a basketball arena - but TCAN gets everything right.

Don M

Easy parking right around the corner, and nearby. Wonderful performance by Mary Fahl and band. Fun time!

Susan Culver

Tom Rush was fantastic last night and still has it! TCAN has great acoustics in an intimate setting. My husband had never been and he loved it. We will return.

Mila Burt

Excellent music

Deb Macneil

Fantastic day! I've been to a few plays here and they've all been intriguing and kept my interest throughout. It's a great afternoon out

pamela sullivan

Fabulous venue for concerts. Old converted firehouse.

Stephen Burgess

Always good shows

Patty Sutton

Perfect intimate space for a concert! Super comfy chairs, too!

Roz Martin

Show was great, seats were comfortable.

wayne pereno

Small places. Sound only good for solo acoustic acts. Aisles of seats to close to themselves saw a lady trip and fall. I won't drive over an hour to come back here again

Dave Smith

Great show by Crystal Bowersox at The Center for the Arts in Natick

Richard Fine

A great local venue that offers a wide variety of options. We caught a midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and were impressed by how the Center provided props for novices, like me, in the audience. The Center also has bands and exhibits. A place well worth exploring their website to review.

Sandy Newbold

First time I have been to the movie theater at TCAN. What a nice theatre! Gorgeous screen and fantastic sound system imerses you into the viewing experience. I like that the concession stand is downstairs so you aren't interrupted by patrons coming and going. The original firehouse ceiling gives the place a unique character not found at the plexes. Definitely worth a visit for the more esoteric and classic film buffs. Only complaint would be that the seats could be a bit more comfortable.

Butch Derochea

Great place to visit

Mark Wilcon

Small beautiful building

Tom Hal

This is an excellent venue to see a performance. It is worth becoming a member just for the advanced notices and ticket availability. I have scene many national and local acts. A little over 200 seats in this gem of a performance center. There is not a bad seat in the house.

Sharon Johnson

Awesome venue! Great show! All 3 comedians put on a very hilarious show. 10 stars

Cathy Lachapelle

Tiny, funky, clean, intimate, sweet little bar and art gallery upstairs to visit at intermission

Peter Lehndorff

Beautiful place to hear music and perform. Wonderful sound and lighting crew. Also one of the best open mics in the region.

Tina Rose

Fabulous, intimate venue

Steve Mack

Great venue. Intimate without being too small. They bring in fabulous talent. We saw Grace Kelly tonight. She gets better every time we see her; what an original talent!

Nicole Martin

A great place to see live music!

Stephen Bobby

Awesome

Glen Glater

Great shows, no bad seats

semond612

Saw Samantha Fish Thursday night. Fabulous concert, and I liked the venue very much. Small, intimate setting with a small riser for the performers is as close as you can get. This is a no-frills place - you are there strictly for the show! The volunteers are friendly and helpful, and waited patiently for a long line of fans to get autographs and pictures after the show. I had a thoroughly enjoyable experience and I will return often.

Charles Griffith

Nicely renovated and great sound system.

Tony Shaw

This is a wonderful place!

Sheryl Greene

Great place for concerts and to volunteer

Christine Rodriguez

I saw Paula Cole perform here and it was well worth it. Not a bad seat in the house. The sound there was awesome, every piece of the vocals and instruments was heard. Well worth the drive up from NYC.

david simko

Great venue. No bad seats, excellent sound. Reasonably priced bear. A real gem for a night out and a show.

Mauro Tedeschi

Relaxed and nice environment

Paul Conley

Nice small venue so you're close to the stage from any seat. Jack's Abbey beer available.

Philip Kopel

Excellent, clean and friendly small regional venue.

Jojo Toso

The interior respects the history of the old fire house. I enjoy seeing the art exhibited there. There are a variety of shows, plays, music and movies. The cost is very reasonable. I enjoy the whole atmosphere and the community experience.

Rick Johnson

Friendly,fun staff! A great reuse of a town treasure!

Joyce Crisp

Alan Goodman

Saw Isle of dogs. Great space. Incredible sound system.

Fun intimate place to catch a show. Lots of street parking in downtown Natick with a few dining spots within walking distance.

Mike Katz

Wonderful and intimate concert venue. Great facility.

Eric Wells

Every show, every performance I've seen at TCAN has been outstanding! A wonderful venue!

Jacqueline Valatka

Spacious but parking I'd tight, acoustics could be better.

Ralph Taylor

Great little place small venue

Rusty Williams

I've seen some of the best musicians/bands here. Very intimate. Good sound. And appreciative audience. Skip the trip to Boston. Enjoy great entertainment in Metrowest.

Robert Gadsby

Great place to catch a show! A converted firehouse that promotes great shows! Not a bad seat in the house. So far I've seen Lez Zeppelin, Peter Wolf and the Midnight Travelers, and Lisa Loeb there. Lots of times they offer meet & greet packages where you can meet the artists before the show. They also offer beer & wine, and cookies! Plenty of parking in the lot around 300 yards away. Plenty of places to enjoy a bite to eat or drink in the near proximity. You'll definitely enjoy your time here!

Jan Galkowski

Tremendous venue, great acts, superb movies.

Ron G

Great show, nice atmosphere, acoustics are really good.

Lynn Moniz

Great intimate venue. Saw the band Mipso they were excellent!

Richard Brenner

Great Venue. JAMIE Kent with special guest Szlachetka tonight

Peter Rovick

Small "intimate" setting with only 100-200 seats. Great comedy, music, and other performing arts shows and workshops - with easy access from Metro West towns p(e.g. don't need to drive and park in Boston)

John Bordage

The space is beautiful and wonderful to play in and all the folks at the venue were super helpful and great to work with, with a special shout-out to the sound man Kem who made us sound our best in the house and provided a great stage mix.

scott chalmers

Excellent show four very good comics.

K me

Great location for talent. The area is small enough that every seat is a good one. Charges are quite reasonable for the level of talent they host. I would recommend everyone take a look at the offerings. Buy tickets early, in some cases they sell out. I'm missing a show this month because I delayed.

Susan Krick

Great venue for music

Tammy Herrick

Great place for live music! They only had 2 beers on tap, and an hour into the show they ran out of the one I'd ordered. Saturday nite show, and one beer on tap?? The Smithereens with guest Marshall Crenshaw! A show not to be missed!

Greg Koski

Great venue for performances....Comfortable, intimate, reasonable prices, great artists. A treasure!

Jim Pownell

Saw great show there last week with Grace Kelly The arts center is a great place to see music. Add seat in the house and they serve wine and beer and small snacks at the theater

Jeff Gonski

Lovely local center for the arts complete with a fun movie theater

Michael Newman

Good region arts center for performances and movies.

Stephen G

They bring in top groups and individuals. Prices are going up but for a small intimate venue, reasonable.

Stephen Lee

Very nice, intimate venue. Every seat is great. Wonderful that they are using an old firehouse for this purpose! Get down there and you'll see a memorable show, for sure.
