The Mary D'Angelo Performing Arts Center is a premier venue located on the beautiful Metro campus of Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pennsylvania. Since it opened 19 years ago, it has been a staple of the Erie community and has hosted many popular acts including Alice Cooper, Jay Leno, and Tony Bennett. The chandeliers that hang over the opera boxes are the same chandeliers that hang in Carnegie Hall in New York City, making it a special place for both performers and patrons alike. With 1,097-seat theaters, seats are allotted on an intimate and adjustable basis, allowing every show to be tailored to every guest's level of comfort.

Take a trip out of it and explore all that the city has to offer! One of the main attractions in Erie is Waldameer Park and Water World, which is one of America’s oldest amusement parks. With more than 40 rides and attractions, there’s something for everyone—from thrilling roller coasters to classic carousels. Go back in time at the 18th-century interpretation center at historic Fort LeBoeuf or explore Presque Isle State Park. The Presque Isle provides seven miles of breathtaking shoreline with water-sports opportunities like swimming, sailing, and kayaking. History buffs can tour nearby Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial, where a lighthouse looms over Lake Erie. You could also spend a day listening to live jazz on Tuesdays at Brew Brothers — inside the lively Presque Isle Downs & Casino complex — or visit one of several museums, including the Erie Art Museum, for a variety of artistic options, from ancient antiquities to modern art pieces from local artists. Enjoy the great shopping
