★★★★★Nancy Ritz

Absolutely loved the show tonight. Staff was amazing.

★★★★★Bryan Welch

Great theater with excellent sound, lights, and staff. Multiple performances through the year and many things you won't find at the Playhouse or Civic Center.

★★★★Raymond Kent

Nice little kids theater. There's not really a bad seat in the house. The patrons were helpful and polite. The drinks and snacks weren't too over-priced. An overall pleasant experience.

★★★★★Sarah Raymond

My daughter recently participated in an Improv theater camp, and she had a blast! If you have a kiddo who is interested in theater, needs some help breaking out of their shell, or just wants to be around other creatives, I would highly recommend it! Thanks for a great summer memory!

★★★Tara Newton

The venue is nice, but not for wheelchair users. Parking spot hash marks are on the wrong side for accessible vans, forcing drivers to back into the parking spot. The parking spot is also where the line forms for entry, so that is hazardous for everyone. There is no railing on the ramp/stairs combo entry, so be careful. My biggest issue is NO WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE BATHROOM STALLS! I had to ask a stranger for help getting into a stall to use the bathroom. (Thank you again, kind stranger!) Disabled people have to pee, too! And we very much prefer not to have to ask strangers for help on something so private. The performers removed a chair so I could watch the show. Thank you, performers!
