I was pleasantly surprised to find that this performing arts theater in the middle of Baldwin Park is actually very nice. I don't know why, but whenever I hear Baldwin Park, I think ghetto. No offense to residents of Baldwin Park.

It's not everyday that I decide to go see a play in B.P., but my old high school (Cathedral) was hosting their drama club's 10th anniversary there.

So the sound system isn't the best and the place could have been a little cooler, temperature wise. Overall,  it was a very enjoyable outing. I will never look down on Baldwin Park again.

It's a very nice, clean place. The theatre is wonderful; the high schools often perform their plays and such here.

People tend to look down on Baldwin park, and residents themselves tend to call Baldwin park 'ghetto', but it really isn't. Honestly, the city has cleaned up a lot--the community center is clean && the pool there is pristine, there is a new skate park for teens right next to the high school, new businesses are opening here everyday.  In terms of socioeconomic status, yes, the residents here are poor side, however, it is a pretty safe neighborhood to be around.
