Attended a concert last night with Aaron Neville performing which was excellent. This was my first time to the Flynn Theater which has been newly remodeled and the locals are pretty proud of this place. It was nice to see a restoration of an old Icon. The area parking to attend an event is a first come first served basis... More

Terrific orchestra and conductor. Vermont is lucky to have this and wise to support it! A stimulating, very alive performance!

The Flynn attracts Broadway tours and popular musical groups as well as being the home to many local shows. It's an old-fashioned theater with a lot of charm. Seating recently updated and much more comfortable than the old ones.

The Flynn Theater and the smaller Flynn Space are part of the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts in Burlington. The Flynn is located in a restored, historic movie theater that was and is a centerpiece of Burlington's arts and entertainment community. I have been attending performances of all kinds at the Flynn for many years. There are an incredible... More

The space is intimate, parking is free and the performers top-notch. The artistic director brings to the smaller Flynn Space wonderful theater while larger events are in the Flynn Theater. The prices aren't Broadway or Chicago prices, but the acting, staging and performances are often pre or post Broadway shows.

For a small town, Flynn Center does a great job of getting top acts in a variety of artistic genres: plays, music of various types, special programs for kids, First Night. Have been many times and always enjoyed myself.

The Flynn and its staff and volunteers have worked to provide access to culture in our small community that rivals that found in Chicago, New York or Montreal! We were there last Friday to see Ladysmith Black Mambazo - which is indicative of the quality of entertainment they bring. Purchasing tickets is easy and access is wonderful. Definitely worth a...

We saw the Vermont Symphony, a really excellent ensemble. The hall is visually and acoustically gorgeous. The Flynn presents a tremendous diversity of varied events all year.

What can I say? Major nationally known artists perform here, as well as important upcoming ones I might not have otherwise heard of. In a beautiful venue, with terrific acoustics, with no bad seats, and affordable tickets.

Laugh until it hurts Flynn Space was the perfect spot for this group of four. Please come back This improv group took the suggested title "the Rejection letter I never got " and created an amazingly hilarious play. I need to re-read Shakespeare's play on Prince Henry.
