Lesher Center for the Arts

Since it opened its doors in October 1990, the Lesher Center for the Arts has had a tremendous impact on the art community of Walnut Creek. What started in 1967 as the Nuthouse, a performance and gallery complex, expanded to its current $21 million facility. The Lesher Center places 900 creations a year today and hosts 350,000 visitors every year. Owned and operated by the City of Walnut Creek, California, this local cultural hub features three theaters, the Bedford Art Gallery, and outstanding dining options around the Centre. The Lesher Center for the Arts is a great location for corporate and private activities, with free WiFi throughout the building and lots of beverage / dining options available. The Lesher Center for the Arts provides exceptional service and a great experience, whether you want to catch a show or host a meeting. 

Stay in one of the many accommodating hotels in Walnut Creek on your visit to this premier performance art center. The Lesher Center is a convenient attraction for visitors to Walnut Creek with several hotels nearby.  Ticket buying was smooth using their website.  It was easy to navigate, select tickets, seats, and pay for it.  A receipt will be quickly sent to your email together with the e-tickets. The night before the event you will receive an email reminder.  It will provide a link for parking reservation. How convenient is that? The first hour of parking is free. There is a bar with snacks.  There is seating available to enjoy your drinks before the show.  During the performance, drinks were allowed in the theater. The seats, lighting, sound system and staff were excellent. 

The theater actually has multiple theaters inside and is quite large. The decor feels very high school theater and the seats were definitely okay. The staff was warm and inviting and the place is super clean.  All in all a fantastic spot to catch some acting in downtown Walnut Creek. If Spontaneous Anything is there you would definitely go back to catch another fun filled show.
