Last Friday, Jim bought tickets for us to go see Colin and Brad from Whose Line Is It Anyway! It was a fantastic, hilarious show, all for a great cause - (Cancer research). The show was in downtown Appleton, WI at the Performing Arts Center. Many shows and orchestral performances are held here. It's no Madison Square Garden, but then again, Appleton is no New York, but it is a one of a kind gem.
The PAC has so many perks. Perks that MSG or even PNC can't hold a light to. Here's a list of AMAZEBALLS attributes this little center has:
#1. 2 dollar parking. Yes, you read that correctly... 2 dollar garage parking.
#2. No security or pat down. There was no metal detectors, no security, no pat downs and no one going through your personal belongings.
#3. 5 dollar drinks. Enough said...
#4. Pre-ordered intermission drinks that are still only 5 dollars. At intermission, instead of waiting in line, Jim and I went to the assigned table and simply picked up our drinks.
#5. No service. There was no cell phone service inside the center. This was fantastic. No worries about a phone going off or even people tweeting, using facebook or texting during a show you paid money for. You know, enjoying life instead of needing to communicate through technology. - The old days of enjoying life.
#6. Small, intimate, comfortable theater. Yes, you won't see The Boss perform here, but the size is sufficient enough to bring great performances like Jersey Boys to WI.
#7. The tickets cost a little less then what it would cost to park in NYC.
#8. Sippy drink cups. Yep, we're fancy.
So, if you are ever in the Appleton area drop me a line and maybe we can swing by the PAC to see Hart or even Dirty Dancing The Musical- because no one puts Appleton in the corner!
