    We went here for a school trip for my son to see a play. It's quite large, easy to access, though parking was limited for large vehicles. The sound system was adequate but I'm not sure how it would fair with a large band. Seating was plentiful and the high stadium arrangement meant all the seats were good.

    My family loves coming to the Upper Darby Performing Arts Center every year for the summer stage! It shows are an inexpensive way for my children to enjoy the theater. They have loved every show they've been too. We try to go to as many as we can each summer. Tickets are about $13 to $15 a piece, and you don't need a ticket for children who were going to sit on your lap. The performers are high school students who take their job very seriously. I'm not quite sure how they handle putting on a different show each week, all of high-quality! It's not recommend enough as a wonderful place to bring your family!

    Well designed amphitheatre for sound and viewing concerts and plays. Upper Darby Theater Company at Upper Darby HS. Enjoyed the Carpenter's Christmas Special, under $20 per person, for those of us who tolerated non British invasion music....

    Very nice. I remember this auditorium being built. Haven't been in it for 42 yrs. Still looks good. Well maintained.

    A true gem! State of the art theatre. Fantastic plays, musicals, comedy, magic, etc. Also offers premier theater classes for kids to adults! Affordable prices. Free parking! Our tradition is to see the renowned Pennsylvania Academy of Ballet has enchanted children and families with its professional soloists and many of the region’s best dancers. Enjoy this family-friendly 90-minute production with intermission that is the perfect introduction to the classic holiday ballet for ages four and up. They also make it snow ❄️!

    Summer stage 2021 was fantastic! The work that these you people put in to perform 6 shows, 6 weeks in a row is staggering. I am so impressed with the quality of the performances. Kudos to all involved.

    Enjoyed Merry Christmas Darling: A Carpenter's Christmas at UDPAC this afternoon. Michelle Betting Brett, singing Several Karen Carpenter's favorites, was outstanding. Michelle had an absolutely beautiful voice. UDPAC never fails to deliver!

    There are a lot of shows to watch, at very low prices. Students of Upper Darby High School can also get discounts with their identifications.

    The shows at this place are incredible. I am a part of Summer stage and i perform shows there. It's a lot of hard work, but watching the kids faces light up really makes it all worth wild. Also, FROZEN JR IS GOING TO BE THE BEST SHOW EVER
