Wonderful venue and production! Came here to see Twelfth Night and it was a delight. The show was excellent. The building is beautiful inside and they have a bar with drinks and snacks. They have an arrangement with the Arrow parking garage nearby so you can get a discounted $5 parking rate during the show.
Such a cool, intimate theater! Staff was so friendly and the entire night was memorable! We saw Twelfth Night which is always a good time. All of the actors and actresses were so commendable, but a huge shout out to Greg Burress, Jose Guzman, and Ron Heneghan who all had tears in my eyes from laughing. Would love to be back to see them and the rest of the artistic company again. Great tribute!
We saw the Complete Works of Shakespeare tonight and it was absolutely delightful. The cast had us roaring and they were so interactive with the crowd. The majority of jokes went over my daughter’s head totally okay because many were adult jokes haha but she still had a fantastic time and couldn’t stop talking about everything after we left. It was hysterical during a particularly raunchy joke when one cast member ran in front of her and started animatedly singing “the wheels on the bus” so she wouldn’t see. Casts like this one are a treasure. I can’t wait for our next trip to Baltimore to see them again. PS: thank you for stopping to take a picture with our daughter and showing so much respect and kindness!
This was the first time I saw a play at this theater. The space is quite intimate with all seats close to the stage. The seats wrap around three sides of the stage. I didn't go up to the second balcony, but I suspect that those seats, with a downward view of the stage, might not be quite as desirable as the orchestra and first balcony seats. The set of the show that I saw, Alice in Wonderland, was very nicely designed. The acting was over the top, appropriate for this show. The singing was musical, and the dancing was playful. This was an excellent show for the whole family.
I can't say enough good things about this theatre! I had the most amazing night here. Just look at the pics! EVERY seat is great. The people who work there were so nice! The play itself was absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to go back!
Beautiful building renovation. Every seat has a great view of the stage. Fun atmosphere.
I've gone to two different shows here. Both times, they've been passionately acted with beautiful sets. The seats are set up in a horseshoe around the stage, and it's really cool how the plays are designed to be equally enjoyable from all angles.
The cast was so much fun and did such a great job! Thank you for making it one of the best Field Trips yet!
One on word; excellent period. Small company with HUGE talent from the Board to the Stage!
Love this place! Done theatre camps on many occasions and the instructors are always nice and fun, the shows they do are amazing they always do a great job trying to reach all sides of the audience. Made many great friends here and I keep coming back for more. Overall just a great experience, lots of fun. After shows the actors will come out and mingle with the audience and they are always super nice.
