Nice theatre facility Sept 2022 Unsure when I’d written this review; had to be after my first show at Wilson years ago. Not only did I like the facility, I have become a volunteer and am proud to be a part of Superstars who ensure that all who visit the facility and those who attend the shows enjoy their experience!

Nice venue, my one complaint is the seating - it's older and absolutely uncomfortable many of the cushions are worn under coverings to the point you can feel the chair framing (we were in the orchestra seating "B")

Awesome acoustics for concerts and plays. Very clean and inviting. Seating is very comfortable. Love going there.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Hi Sara! As Carolyn mentioned, we do have assisted listening devices. When you arrive at the Center for a performance, please see one of our volunteers at the Guest Services desk to check one out. ALDs connect through an FM transmitter to the sound system in the theater. Guests have the option to choose between standard headphones or a T-Coil loop that communicates with T-Coil hearing devices.

Go to the Wilson Center website and choose the seats. You can puchase them online. They use Vendini (sp?)app. Or you can have them mailed to you. It's a great venue. You won't be disappointed. I have seen Tony Bennett, Chris Issak and Kansas there! Enjoy!

Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons was postponed due to Hurricane Florence. Its new dates, March 19-20, is not when we can attend. How do we get a refund?

beth souther | Sep 11, 2019
Wilson Center at Cape Fear Community College | Sep 11, 2019

Beth, the dates you asked about are the performance of the National Broadway Tour of Jersey Boys, which is subtitled "The Story of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons". It is NOT the rescheduled date of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons performing live in concert. That rescheduled date has not yet been announced. So, the tickets you hold will still be valid at that rescheduled date. However, if you would like to seek a refund, simply contact Ticket Central (910.362.7999) and they will be able to discuss your options. Remember, however, that if you do refund your tickets, you will no longer have seats for Frankie Valli once the new date is announced.

What time do you close

Doris Walker | Sep 11, 2019
Wilson Center at Cape Fear Community College | Sep 11, 2019

Doris, the Ticket Central box office is open from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday.
